The Full Story

LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans 💕

This matchup highlights the fascinating middle ground of the earbud market where great earbuds do not need to cost a fortune. The AirPods 4 with ANC pull off something genuinely clever by delivering active noise cancellation in an open-fit design, meaning no silicone tips stuffed in your ear canals while still managing to quiet down your surroundings. Sound quality is refined and balanced, exactly what you would expect from Apple at this point. Samsung's Galaxy Buds FE 2 take a different bet, offering a full-featured earbud experience at a price that makes you double-check for typos. They use traditional silicone tips for a snug seal, which helps with passive noise isolation and gives the bass a bit more punch. Battery life is another Samsung strength, outlasting the AirPods comfortably on a single charge. The AirPods win on pure audio quality and the clever tipless noise cancellation trick, while Samsung wins emphatically on value and endurance. Your phone ecosystem will probably tip the scales, but both are excellent choices in this price range.
