Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, its latest flagship true wireless earbuds, delivering a major upgrade in sound quality, noise cancellation, and design refinement. Announced at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 alongside the Galaxy S26 series, the Buds 4 Pro are now available for pre-order and promise to challenge top competitors like Apple’s AirPods Pro and Sony’s WF-series.
Revolutionary Audio Performance with Super Wide Woofer Technology
At the heart of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro is Samsung’s innovative Super Wide Woofer—a first for the series. This larger driver increases the effective vibrating area by nearly 20% compared to the previous generation, resulting in deeper bass, reduced distortion (up to 50% less), and clearer highs thanks to the dual-driver setup (woofer + tweeter). The earbuds support hi-res audio up to 24-bit/96kHz via Samsung’s Seamless Codec (SSC), delivering sound that’s remarkably true to the original recording.
Combined with an enhanced Adaptive Equalizer (EQ) and improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the Buds 4 Pro intelligently adjust to your environment—whether you’re commuting on noisy public transport or enjoying quiet listening sessions. Reviewers have praised the full-spectrum immersion, with natural reproduction of everything from deep basslines to intricate instrument details.
Refined Design, Better Fit, and Premium Build
Samsung has addressed past feedback with a sleeker, more premium look. The Buds 4 Pro feature a canal-fit (in-ear) design with silicone ear tips for secure, comfortable wear during extended use or workouts. The stem now includes a flat metal cladding for a luxurious feel and improved durability.
Available in White, Black (with a refined matte finish), and an online-exclusive Pink Gold colorway, the earbuds weigh just around 5.1g per bud. Battery life offers up to 7 hours per charge (6 hours with ANC on), plus an additional 30 hours (26 with ANC) from the compact charging case.
Additional highlights include top-tier voice-calling clarity, hands-free AI integration for seamless Galaxy device control, ambient sound mode, and adaptive features that make them feel like a personalized audio companion.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro retail at $249 (or £219 in select regions), matching the previous model’s pricing—no increase despite the upgrades. Pre-orders began on February 25, 2026, with general availability starting March 11, 2026. You can find them at Samsung.com, Amazon, Best Buy, and major carriers, often with perks like gift cards, trade-in discounts, or bundled offers for Galaxy S26 buyers.
A standard Galaxy Buds 4 model (open-fit design) is also available at $179 for those seeking a lighter, more casual option.
