Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 4 Pro promise significant advancements over the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, combining refined design, innovative controls, and enhanced audio features. Expected to launch at the January Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy S26 series, these earbuds target users seeking premium wireless audio with deep Samsung ecosystem integration.
Refined Design for Comfort and Portability
The new horizontal charging case features a transparent lid, replacing the vertical design for better pocketability and aesthetics. Earbuds adopt flatter, sleeker stems instead of triangular ones, improving ergonomic fit for long sessions.
- Squeeze and slide controls repositioned inside stems for intuitive access
- Updated silicone tips enhance comfort and passive noise isolation
- Compact case includes built-in speaker to locate misplaced earbuds
Advanced Gesture Controls
Head gesture controls let users nod to accept calls or shake to decline, enabling hands-free interaction with alarms and AI assistants during workouts or multitasking. Traditional pinch controls remain for playback, volume, and mode switching.
Superior Audio and Battery Performance
Adaptive noise control dynamically adjusts to surroundings, while 360° audio recording captures immersive sound for creators and meetings. Battery life sees meaningful improvements over the Buds 3 Pro’s average endurance, supporting extended daily use.
- Fast pairing and auto-switching across Samsung devices
- Retains 360° audio, multi-device pairing, and Find My support
- Potential ANC upgrades addressing predecessor weaknesses
These enhancements position the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro as a strong contender for Samsung loyalists and premium audio seekers.
