Samsung Redefines Premium Audio with Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Galaxy Buds4
Samsung Electronics today introduced the Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Galaxy Buds4, aiming to set a new standard for premium earbuds with superior hi-fi audio and enhanced wearability. The new series combines exceptional sound quality with a refined, computationally designed fit, integrating Samsung’s latest audio and wearability innovations.
Computational Design for Comfort and Stability
The Galaxy Buds4 series features a blade design, achieved through analysis of hundreds of millions of ear data points and over 10,000 simulations.1 This results in a sleek, ergonomic fit with smaller earbud heads for improved comfort and security during extended wear. The stabilized blade includes a premium metal finish and an engraved pinch control area for easy setting adjustments. A new transparent clamshell-type cradle offers intuitive storage and charging while showcasing the refined design.
Galaxy Buds4 Pro features a canal-fit design for maximum functionality, while Galaxy Buds4 offers an open-fit design for a more comfortable, user-friendly experience. Both models are available in White and Black with a matte finish, with an online-exclusive Pink Gold option for the Buds4 Pro.
Superior Hi-Fi Sound with Hardware Innovations
The Buds4 Pro introduces a wider woofer, increasing the effective speaker area by almost 20% compared to the previous generation without compromising wearability.4 Combined with a tweeter, these features deliver immersive audio with clean bass and rich treble, supporting 24-bit/96kHz audio.5 This allows for a more accurate reproduction of sound, capturing details across the entire spectrum.
Enhanced Audio Experience with Adaptive EQ and ANC
The Galaxy Buds4 series builds upon existing adaptive sound capabilities with enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Enhanced ANC effectively reduces a wide range of noises, from engine sounds during commutes to everyday background distractions. Enhanced Adaptive ANC/EQ6 minimizes noise leakage by analyzing wearing conditions and individual ear shapes, dynamically adjusting frequencies for optimal noise cancellation and a tailored sound experience.
Super Clear Call utilizes super wideband call technology and machine learning to provide clear call quality, doubling the bandwidth of conventional Bluetooth calls. This ensures crisp and clear voice transmission even in noisy environments.
Seamless Galaxy Ecosystem Integration
For Galaxy users, the Buds4 series offers integrations with AI assistants, including Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity, accessible through hands-free voice controls. Buds4 Pro allows access to these AI features without needing to use a phone, streamlining integration into daily routines.
Galaxy users benefit from a simplified setup process – simply opening the cradle connects the Buds to their phone or tablet without requiring the Galaxy Wearable app. Volume and EQ controls are accessible through the Buds shortcut menu or Quick Panel.
Buds4 Pro also includes Head Gesture controls for managing calls and interacting with Bixby, enabling hands-free operation.
Availability and Pricing
The Galaxy Buds4 series is available for pre-order starting today in select markets, with general availability beginning March 11. The Galaxy Buds4 Pro is priced at $249.99 and the Galaxy Buds4 at $179.99.3
