Earlier today, Samsung unveiled its cheapest truly wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds FE. Their American and European pricing was revealed a few hours ago, and now, the Galaxy Buds FE's pricing for the Indian market has been announced.
Galaxy Buds FE pricing in India doesn't make a lot of sense
The Galaxy Buds FE is priced at INR 9,999 ($120) in India, but you can get it for as low as INR 7,999 ($99) after a cashback on credit and debit cards from select banks. The new wireless earbuds will be available starting October 5, 2023, from Amazon and Samsung.com. They will be sold in two colors: Graphite and White.
You are not alone in thinking about why anyone would choose the Galaxy Buds FE over the more affordable Galaxy Buds 2 in India. We also think that Samsung's pricing for the Galaxy Buds FE doesn't make much sense in India. The Galaxy Buds 2 are selling in India for around INR 6,200, which is close to INR 4,000 cheaper than the Galaxy Buds FE.
The Galaxy Buds 2 have a dual-driver audio setup, which should sound nicer, and wireless charging for added convenience. The only advantage the Galaxy Buds FE has over the Galaxy Buds 2 is longer battery life, hitting the 8.5-hour mark with a single charge and 30 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off.
