Samsung Buds4 Pro
The dual-driver setup with a tweeter and woofer in each earbud delivers Hi-Res Audio with rich highs and deep lows, while adaptive ANC adjusts to your surroundings. The redesigned charging cradle with a magnet hold and IP55 water resistance add practical durability for daily use. Best for Samsung users who prioritize music detail and comfort over call quality, given the weaker call performance.

Performance
The dual driver setup with a dedicated tweeter and woofer does real work here. Hi-Res Audio support means you'll catch details in tracks you've heard a hundred times, and the soundstage is wider than most true wireless buds we've tested. ANC is adaptive and sits in the 97th percentile, which means it's genuinely excellent at drowning out the world. But the battery is a problem. It lands in the 4th percentile, which is one of the worst we've seen. You'll be reaching for that redesigned charging case more often than you'd like. Mic quality is mediocre too, so calls aren't these buds' strong suit.

vs Competition
Against the Sony WF-1000XM6, the Buds4 Pro win on ANC but lose badly on battery and call quality. The Technics EAH-AZ100 offer better overall balance with stronger battery life and comparable sound. Apple's AirPods Pro 3rd Gen are the obvious choice for iPhone users, with better fit and mic performance. The Buds4 Pro hold their own on sound and noise cancellation, but the battery gap is hard to ignore when competitors last nearly twice as long.

Prijs
Value & Pricing
At $230 USD or $330 CAD, these aren't cheap. The ANC and sound quality punch above the price, but the battery life is a real buzzkill. If you own a recent Samsung phone, the seamless integration and Hi-Res codec support make the price easier to swallow. For everyone else, you're paying flagship money for earbuds with budget-tier battery endurance.

Overview
Samsung's Galaxy Buds4 Pro are a weird mix of best-in-class and 'wait, really?' The ANC is top of the charts, the sound is genuinely impressive, and the build feels premium. But the battery life is rough, and the fit is polarizing. If you're deep in the Samsung ecosystem, these make a lot of sense. If you're not, there are some serious trade-offs to consider.
Common Questions
Q: Do the Galaxy Buds4 Pro work well with non-Samsung phones?
They'll work with any Bluetooth device, but you'll miss out on Hi-Res codec support and some features like seamless device switching. The Samsung Wear app is required for full functionality.
Q: How long does the battery actually last?
Battery life is the weakest point here, landing in the 4th percentile. Expect noticeably shorter listening sessions than competitors like the Sony WF-1000XM6 or Technics EAH-AZ100.
Q: Are these good for working out?
With IP55 water resistance, they can handle sweat and light rain. But the fit is polarizing, so make sure they stay secure in your ears before taking them to the gym.
Who Should Skip This
If you need all-day battery life or take frequent calls, these aren't for you. The battery is one of the worst we've seen in this category, and the mic quality is mediocre at best. iPhone users should just get AirPods Pro instead. And if you're not on a Samsung phone, you're paying for features you can't fully use.
Verdict
If you're a Samsung phone owner who prioritizes sound quality and noise cancellation above all else, the Buds4 Pro are a strong buy. The ANC is genuinely best-in-class, and the dual driver setup makes music sound fantastic. But if battery life matters to you, or you take a lot of calls, look elsewhere. These are earbuds for the Samsung faithful who don't mind charging frequently.
