Which should you buy?
The Galaxy Buds FE is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.7 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Galaxy Buds FE if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery — with case, driver size, battery — buds.
Pick the LinkBuds Fit if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are spatial audio, weight per bud, water resistance.
Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Galaxy Buds FE is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
