Samsung's latest Galaxy earbuds let you hold conversations in a foreign language

Language barriers are about to become a thing of the past, thanks to a game-changing new seat of earbuds from Samsung.

The Galaxy Buds3 FE, which launched in the UK last week, utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) to translate phone conversations and foreign lectures into your mother tongue - meaning you essentially have an in-ear translator at your fingertips.

So what’s game-changing about the latest iteration of the Galaxy Buds3 series?

Well, they can be used with the Galaxy AI Interpreter app - a real-time, in-person conversation translation tool that can be utilised in both personal and professional settings.

With the earbuds, you’ll be able to have a full conversation with someone speaking a different language - whether that be Spanish, Chinese, Hindi or Japanese - and be able to understand what they’re saying via live translation.

The ergonomically shaped, stylish device may be the latest from Samsung, but are the matte music players the earbuds you’re after?
