The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, launched in August 2024, are the company's flagship true wireless earbuds. They feature improved active noise cancellation (ANC) compared to their predecessors, with a claimed reduction of up to 40% more ambient noise. Sound quality is a highlight, driven by a two-way speaker system with a dedicated woofer and tweeter, delivering clear and balanced audio.
Key features include Intelligent ANC, which automatically adjusts noise blocking based on the user's environment, and 360 Audio with head tracking for a more immersive listening experience. The earbuds also support 24-bit Hi-Fi audio via the SSC Hi-Fi codec and offer Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
However, the full suite of features, including seamless switching between Galaxy devices, 360 Audio, and the SSC Hi-Fi codec, is best experienced when paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet running One UI. While they function with other Bluetooth devices, some advanced capabilities are limited or unavailable on non-Galaxy hardware.
The Buds 4 Pro provide up to 9.5 hours of battery life with ANC off (5 hours with ANC on), extendable to 31.5 hours with the charging case. They are rated IPX7 for water and sweat resistance.
