What Customers Say

Reviewers and owners consistently rate these as the best-sounding Samsung earbuds so far, with clear, detailed and slightly warm sound, and most found the noise cancelling strong. The automatic switch to ambient sound when you speak or a siren sounds was praised, as were the comfortable fit, the dust and water resistance and the redesigned case with its clear lid. Call quality and the long list of app features, from the equaliser to head gestures and Auracast, also won approval.

The recurring complaints are that the best sound and many features need a recent Galaxy phone, with no true multipoint outside Samsung's own devices, and battery life that several testers rated only average.

For flagship noise-cancelling earbuds, reviewers agree they are an easy recommendation for Samsung Galaxy owners and a harder sell for everyone else.

Who Should Buy This

  • Samsung Galaxy phone owners who want the SSC-UHQ codec and extras,
  • Commuters who want adaptive noise cancelling and siren detection,
  • Runners and gym-goers who want dust and water resistance for sport,
  • Frequent callers who want a voice pickup sensor and call noise control,
  • Owners of Qi chargers who want to drop the case on a wireless pad.

Who Should Skip It

  • iPhone owners, as the Galaxy Wearable app and SSC suit Galaxy phones,
  • Listeners who want a wider choice than three ear tip sizes,
  • Buyers who prefer touch taps to pinch-and-swipe stem controls,
  • All-day listeners who want the longest possible playback per charge.

What Experts Says

Overall Assessment and Positioning

The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro are Samsung's flagship in-ear earbuds, combining adaptive noise cancelling with a two-way driver, spatial audio and Samsung's own SSC-UHQ codec. They compete with the flagship earbuds from the other major brands, and they make the most sense alongside a Samsung Galaxy phone, where the codec, the Galaxy Wearable app and Galaxy AI's Interpreter are all at home.

Key Strengths and Standout Features

Adaptive noise cancelling, Adaptive Noise Control, Voice Detect and Siren Detect aim to quieten a commute while still letting important sounds through. Samsung quotes 7 hours of playback per charge, or 6 hours with noise cancelling on, and the case takes the total to 30 hours, enough for a working week of commuting, while a 20-minute charge is listed as reaching 66%. The IP57 rating means dust, sweat and even a brief dunk are covered, which suits the gym and wet runs. For calls, 6 microphones work with call noise reduction and a voice pickup sensor. At 5.1 g per earbud with a 44.3 g case that charges on a Qi pad, they are light to wear and easy to top up.

Value Proposition and Who It's Best Suited For

These suit Samsung Galaxy owners who want premium noise-cancelling earbuds that plug straight into their phone's features, and callers and gym-goers who want strong weather resistance. iPhone owners, and Android users on other brands who would lose the Samsung-only extras, should compare them with flagship rivals first.
