I tested Samsung's new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro - it's not the design downgrade that I expected
"Compared to their predecessors, the Buds 4 Pro reproduce a wider, more airy soundstage that's incredibly enjoyable. I found the Buds 4 Pro's bass response to be tight with limited distortion at high volume, but it's not as present as the Buds 3 Pro or their contemporaries from Bose, Apple, or Sony."
"The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro support hi-fi listening at up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution, adaptive noise cancellation, super-wideband calling, LE Audio, and ambient mode. Samsung promises improved noise cancellation, with the Buds 4 Pro canceling an additional 3 dB more than their predecessors."
"After a week of using the buds, my verdict is that there's no doubt these are the best Samsung buds so far, and they only get better when used within the Galaxy ecosystem. Are they worth upgrading if you have the Buds 3 Pro? Maybe not, but you'll be pleased if you do."
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro represent an incremental upgrade over the 2024 Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, featuring refined design and new head gesture controls. Key improvements include enhanced noise cancellation with 3 dB additional reduction, a two-way acoustic design with 10.5mm dynamic driver and 6.1mm planar magnetic tweeter, and wider soundstage reproduction. Returning features include 360 audio, live translation, and Galaxy AI integration. The audio profile emphasizes mids and highs while offering tighter bass with limited distortion. Supporting hi-fi listening up to 24-bit/96kHz, adaptive noise cancellation, and super-wideband calling, these earbuds perform comparably to Apple AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WH-1000XM6. They excel within the Galaxy ecosystem but may not justify upgrading from the Buds 3 Pro.
