The Galaxy Buds4 Pro, shown in the top row, are in-ear earphones, while the Galaxy Buds4, shown in the bottom row, are in-ear earphones. Both feature a brushed metal frame on the stem. Samsung explained that it conducted 10,000 simulation tests to ensure a high-quality fit and acoustic characteristics that perfectly match the shape of the user's ear.
PhoneArena commented on the design of the Galaxy Buds 4/4 Pro, saying, 'The funky triangular stem with LED light from the Galaxy Buds 3 is gone,' 'The new design is refined,' and 'The cheap-looking light is gone.'
The Galaxy Buds allow you to control volume and playback by pinching or swiping the stem, but some users have pointed out that it's difficult to know where to pinch the stem on the Galaxy Buds 3. However, the Galaxy Buds 4/4 Pro have small grooves to make it easier to pinch.
The charging case is designed to be placed flat rather than inserted stem-first, and the transparent case remains the same as before.
The Galaxy Buds4 Pro are dust and water resistant to IP57 standards, meaning they have limited dust resistance and can withstand water from 15cm to 1 meter. The Galaxy Buds4 are dust and water resistant to IP54 standards.
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro uses a dual-driver system, with a dynamic woofer and a planar driver for the treble. What's new is the slightly larger woofer, which goes from 10.5mm to 11mm, and the planar driver has been reduced from 6.1mm to 5.5mm. The Galaxy Buds 4, on the other hand, still uses a single-speaker design with an 11mm driver.
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro now features Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) 2.0, which is designed to respond to sound in real time and actively adjust the frequencies it cancels, while the Galaxy Buds 4 still uses ANC 1.0.
And with your Galaxy Wearable app and account, you can seamlessly switch between connections across all your Android devices.
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro's battery capacity has increased from 53mAh to 61mAh, but the claimed battery life remains the same: 6 hours with ANC on and 7 hours with ANC off. With the case, the total life span increases to 26 hours with ANC on and 30 hours with ANC off.
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a claimed battery life of 5 hours with ANC on and 6 hours with ANC off. With the case, you can get a total of 24 hours with ANC on and 30 hours with ANC off.
A review video of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has also been released. The reviewer, a YouTube channel called zollotech, said, 'The noise cancellation and sound quality are great, and I have no issues with the connection. I've been using AirPods for years, but I plan to switch to the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro from now on.'
