Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Series

Redesigned looks, better sounds

The Galaxy Buds 4 series introduces a new blade design developed using computational modeling based on hundreds of millions of ear data points and more than 10,000 simulations. 

Blade Design

The earbuds feature smaller heads and a stabilized blade with a metal finish and an engraved pinch control area for easier interaction. A transparent clamshell charging case highlights the design while simplifying storage and charging.

Galaxy Buds 4: Open-Fit Configuration

The Galaxy Buds 4 use an open-fit design focused on comfort for extended wear. They are equipped with an 11 mm speaker, three microphones, and Bluetooth 6.1 connectivity with Auracast support. 

The model carries an IP54 water resistance rating. Battery capacity is rated at 45 mAh per earbud with a 515 mAh charging case, providing up to 5 hours of playback with ANC enabled and up to 24 hours total with the case. With ANC disabled, playback increases to 6 hours per charge and up to 30 hours total.

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro: Canal-Fit Configuration

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro use a canal-fit design intended to maximize sound isolation. They include upgraded audio hardware with a wider woofer that increases the effective vibration area by nearly 20 percent compared to the previous generation. 

Combined with a tweeter, the two-way speaker system supports 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio. The speaker placement is also intended to improve noise cancellation performance while reducing wind interference. 

The Pro model has a higher battery capacity at 61 mAh per earbud and an IP57 water resistance rating. Playback reaches up to 6 hours with ANC enabled and 26 hours total, or up to 7 hours per charge and 30 hours total with ANC disabled.

Audio processing and call features

Both models include Enhanced Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which analyzes surrounding noise and wearing conditions in real time and automatically adjusts noise reduction levels. 

An Adaptive Equalizer (EQ) system evaluates how the earbuds sit in the user's ears and dynamically tunes frequencies. Super Clear Call technology uses super wideband Bluetooth processing and machine learning-based noise reduction to separate the user's voice from background noise.

Integration and controls

The earbuds integrate with the Galaxy ecosystem and support AI assistants such as Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Users can activate these assistants using voice commands or hands-free controls. 

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro additionally support head gesture controls for managing calls and assistant interactions. 

Colorful cases

Pairing is automatic when the charging case is opened near a compatible Galaxy device, with controls accessible through the Quick Panel interface. 

Both models support 24-bit Hi-Fi audio and are compatible with Android 12 or newer devices with at least 1.5 GB RAM. 

The Galaxy Buds 4 are available in Black and White, while the Pro version adds an online-exclusive Pink Gold option.
