The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro (also stylized as Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro) are wireless Bluetooth earbuds developed by Samsung Electronics. They were announced on February 25, 2026, at the Galaxy Unpacked event alongside the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 lineup. The standard Buds4 utilizes an open-fit design, while the Buds4 Pro uses a canal-type architecture with silicone tips and a dual-driver system. Both models support Bluetooth 6.1 and introduce head gesture controls for call management. The series was released on March 11, 2026, with the S26 series, in Black and White colors, with a Pink gold version exclusive to the Pro model.[1][2][3]

Design

The Galaxy Buds4 series features a redesigned blade stem with a brushed metal finish and an engraved pinch-control area on the front-facing side, replacing the triangular cross-section of the previous generation. [4] The charging case transitions to a flat clamshell design with a transparent lid, replacing the vertical cradle used in the previous generation. The standard Galaxy Buds4 uses an open-fit design and carries an IP54 rating, while the Galaxy Buds4 Pro features a canal-fit design with silicone ear tips and an IP57 rating.[5][6]

Specification

Audio

The Galaxy Buds4 uses a single 11 mm dynamic driver, while the Galaxy Buds4 Pro has a two-driver setup consisting of an 11 mm woofer and a 5.5 mm planar tweeter. [7]Both models support 24-bit/96 kHz audio playback through Samsung's proprietary Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC), though this requires a compatible Galaxy device running One UI 6.1.1 or later.[8] Both models connect via Bluetooth 6.1[9] and include HD Voice, which raises the call audio bandwidth to 16 kHz.[10]

Software and AI

The series integrates Galaxy AI for real-time features, including an Interpreter mode that provides spoken translation in 22 languages directly through the earbuds. [11]Both models support hands-free voice activation for AI assistants, including Bixby, Google Gemini.[12] The Galaxy Buds4 Pro exclusively features Head Gestures, allowing users to accept or decline calls by nodding or shaking their head. Advanced acoustic processing, such as Adaptive ANC 2.0 and Adaptive EQ, utilizes internal microphones to analyze ear shape and ambient noise in real-time to optimize sound output.[13]
