Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 Pro represent a refined evolution of their premium wireless earbuds, delivering enhanced sound quality, improved ANC, and better durability. Building on the Buds 3 Pro's foundation, these earbuds feature a redesigned case with horizontal charging contacts and shorter stems with metallic spines. The sound quality stands out with a new 11mm Super Wide Woofer and 5.5mm Planar Tweeter configuration.

Audio performance shines across genres, from boom bap bass tracks to jazz and rock, though complex arrangements occasionally reveal limitations. The SSC UHQ codec enables 24-bit/96kHz playback on compatible Samsung devices, while the 9-band EQ in the Wearables app allows for extensive customization. Battery life claims of up to 7 hours without ANC and 6 hours with it appear promising in early testing.

Active noise cancellation effectively blocks ambient sounds like leaf blowers and traffic, though it doesn't quite match Sony's WF-1000XM6. At $80 less than Sony's flagship, the Buds 4 Pro offer compelling value, especially for Samsung ecosystem users. IP57 durability provides better dust and water resistance than previous models. While lacking true multipoint connectivity and limited to three ear tip sizes, these earbuds deliver a premium experience that makes them hard to beat for Samsung phone owners.
