Samsung may be working on new cheap wireless earbuds – will the Galaxy Buds FE 2 beat Sony’s next value earbuds to the punch?

• Second-gen Galaxy Buds FE are in “advanced” development
• Launching “Summer 2025”, expected to cost $99 / £99 / AU$149
• Sony’s next budget ANC buds could launch at the same time

This could be a good year for buyers looking for the best budget wireless earbuds: the next generation of Sony’s budget ANC earbuds appears to be coming soon, and now a new report says Samsung is working on the second-gen Galaxy Buds FE.

We had mixed feelings about the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, giving them three out of five stars in our review, but they sound good and they offer great active noise cancellation.
