Samsung Electronics has launched its new Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro alongside the Galaxy S26 series. The updated earbuds bring a redesigned look, better sound quality, improved noise cancellation, and new hands-free controls.
The biggest change is the design. Samsung kept the stem-style shape but made it flatter and more refined. The earbuds now use a metal finish with engraved touch areas for easier controls. Samsung also said it analyzed millions of ear data points to create a smaller and more comfortable fit.
Both models deliver improved sound performance. The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro features a new wider woofer and dual-driver system to produce cleaner bass and richer treble. Both versions support high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz when paired with compatible Galaxy devices.
Samsung also upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on both earbuds. The company said the new ANC blocks more background noise, including sounds from buses, trains, and planes. Adaptive ANC and Adaptive EQ automatically adjust sound based on your environment.
The Pro model adds extra smart features. It can detect your voice and automatically lower ANC so you can talk without removing the earbuds. It also includes a siren detection feature that lets users hear emergency alerts and alarms.
One of the biggest additions is head gesture controls. Users can now nod or shake their head to answer calls or control features. The earbuds also support voice assistants like Bixby, Gemini, and Perplexity, allowing hands-free commands.
Samsung will sell the Galaxy Buds 4 for $180 and the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for $250. Both models are available for pre-order now and will officially release on March 11. The earbuds come in black and white, while the Pro version also gets an exclusive pink gold option.
The Galaxy Buds 4 series shows Samsung focusing on better audio, smarter features, and improved comfort. The updates also bring the earbuds closer to Apple’s AirPods in design, while adding Samsung’s own AI and control features.
