Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro review

Galaxy Buds4 Pro are the natural pick for people already on a Samsung Galaxy phone, from $249.99 on Samsung's US site. For calls, Samsung lists six microphones that isolate your voice from noisy backgrounds and Super Wideband calling with Galaxy S26 phones. Commuters get Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation that Samsung says adjusts with pre-trained algorithms for everyday scenarios, and you can change the level with Pinch Control. Each earbud has a two-way speaker, a woofer and a tweeter, and on supported Galaxy phones Samsung's SSC UHQ codec carries 24-bit / 96 kHz audio. The earbuds are IP57 rated, enough for immersion in 3 feet of fresh water for 30 minutes, though the case is not rated. The downside is lock-in: Samsung requires Android 12.0 or above, the Galaxy Wearable app does not run on iOS, and the hi-res codec is Galaxy only. Samsung's product page also did not list battery hours at the time of our check. Other Android owners get more from Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $229.
