Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 11,000, brand new and sealed, with active noise cancelling, 24-bit Hi-Fi sound and up to 30 hours of listening with the case. Each earbud holds a 53mAh battery and runs for up to 8.5 hours with noise cancelling off. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE connects over Bluetooth 5.4, supports Samsung's SSC codec alongside AAC and SBC, and carries an IP54 rating against dust and splashes. It comes in Black and Gray. You can pick up a pair at our Old Mutual Building showroom on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for university students, sales teams, estate agents and logistics coordinators, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE handles daily commuting, calls and study sessions. Many buyers want noise cancelling but find the Pro tier hard to justify on a student or junior salary. This pair answers that with ANC driven by three microphones, the same blade-style stem as Samsung's higher models, and pinch and swipe gestures. On a supported Galaxy phone, you can ask Gemini a question hands-free or run Galaxy AI Interpreter during a conversation. A Strathmore or JKUAT student gets quiet library time and clear lecture recordings without paying Pro money.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push unsealed earbuds of unclear origin, Mascom International sells the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE in its factory seal with a 12-month warranty we handle ourselves. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the blade stem makes controls easier to find than a flat touch panel, especially while walking. We are seeing steady demand from Galaxy A-series owners stepping up from basic earphones. Pay on arrival anywhere in the country, or come to Kimathi Street and hear the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE before you buy.
Common Questions About the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE
What is the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE for KSh 11,000, brand new and sealed, at our Nairobi CBD showroom. The price covers the earbuds, the charging case, a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. There is no wall charger in the box, so plan to use a USB-C phone charger. At Mascom International, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro costs KSh 6,500 more at KSh 17,500, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core costs KSh 4,500 less at KSh 6,500.
Should I pick the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE or the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core?
Pick the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE if you want Hi-Fi sound and the blade stem; pick the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core to save KSh 4,500. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE plays 24-bit audio through Samsung's SSC codec on supported Galaxy phones and uses pinch and swipe gestures on its stem. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Core uses a compact stemless shape with wing tips and touch controls. Both offer noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.4 and an IP54 rating, so budget and fit preference usually decide it.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE good for long matatu commutes from Ruiru or Kitengela?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE handles a two-hour round trip into Nairobi with plenty of battery left. With noise cancelling on, each charge lasts up to 6 hours, enough for engine noise, hooting and loud music from a matatu sound system. Three microphones on each side feed the noise cancelling. The IP54 rating covers dust from a boda boda ride and light rain at a stage, though the earbuds should never be submerged.
Can I use the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE with a Tecno, Infinix or iPhone?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE pairs with any Bluetooth phone, so music and calls work on Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and iPhone handsets. Settings such as gestures and the equaliser need Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app, which runs on Android. Gemini hands-free access, Galaxy AI Interpreter and 24-bit playback through SSC depend on a supported Galaxy phone. A Tecno owner still gets noise cancelling and long battery life, but should expect fewer extras than a Galaxy owner.
Can the Samsung Wireless Charger Duo charge the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE case?
No, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE case charges through its USB-C port, so a wireless pad will not top it up. If cable-free charging matters to you, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro case does support it and works with the Samsung Wireless Charger Duo at KSh 9,000. The Duo still earns its place beside the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE for charging a Galaxy phone overnight, while the earbuds case uses the cable.
How many hours of music does the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE give with the case?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE gives up to 30 hours of music with noise cancelling off, counting the earbuds and the 515mAh case together. With noise cancelling on all the time, the total is up to 24 hours. The earbuds alone run up to 8.5 hours without ANC and 6 hours with it. During a KPLC outage, a power bank and USB-C cable refill the case quickly enough to keep you listening.
Who should buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE, and who should skip it?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE suits Galaxy phone owners who want noise cancelling, Gemini access and good sound for KSh 11,000. Skip it if you train hard outdoors or get caught in heavy rain often; the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro carries a stronger IP57 rating. Skip it too if you want the newest Samsung tier, where the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 at KSh 16,500 fits. Buyers on a tight budget who only need calls and basic ANC are better served by the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core.
What happens if I lose one Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE earbud in Nairobi?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE supports Samsung's Find feature, which shows the last known location of the earbuds on a map in your Galaxy account. This helps if one falls out in a matatu, a lecture hall at Kenyatta University or an office in Westlands. The feature needs a Samsung account and a compatible Galaxy phone. Mascom International advises setting it up on the day of purchase, and our team can do it with you at the counter.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware and Sound Profile

- 24-bit Hi-Fi audio over Samsung's SSC codec — keeps more detail in high-resolution tracks played from supported Galaxy phones.
- Active noise cancelling using three microphones — measures outside sound and plays an opposite signal to quiet traffic and crowd noise.
- 360 Audio spatial sound — places music and film dialogue around your head instead of between your ears, which suits streaming.
- AAC and SBC support — standard codecs that give good sound quality from iPhones, Tecno, Infinix and other Android phones.
Wireless Connectivity and Galaxy AI
- Bluetooth 5.4 — a current Bluetooth version with a stable connection while your phone sits in a bag or jacket pocket.

- Works with any USB-C phone charger or power bank — useful during KPLC outages and long trips upcountry by bus.
Build and Durability
- IP54 dust and splash rating — resists sweat, dust and light rain, but should be kept away from swimming and heavy downpours.
- Blade-style stem — gives your fingers a clear surface for gestures, so you are not tapping blindly on the earbud body.
- Canal-type fit with silicone ear tips — seals the ear canal, which helps noise cancelling and keeps bass from leaking out.
- Compact pocket case — fits a shirt pocket, handbag or the small pocket of a school bag without bulk.
- Colours: Black and Gray — confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp before you travel to the showroom.
Controls and Inputs
- Pinch the stem — plays, pauses and answers calls with a quick squeeze between thumb and finger.
- Swipe along the stem — turns volume up or down without reaching for your phone on a crowded matatu.
- Pinch and hold — switches noise cancelling on or off, so you can hear an announcement or a colleague.
- Voice commands through Gemini — handle simple tasks hands-free while driving, cooking or carrying shopping.
- Galaxy Wearable app — sets gestures, the equaliser and firmware updates from an Android phone.
Package Contents
