Budget OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro Earn Rave Reviews as Samsung’s Buds 4 Face Fit Backlash

Fresh reviews stress ear‑canal seal as the key to real noise cancellation.

Overview

  • In reviews posted Tuesday and Wednesday, Android Central and The Indian Express praised OnePlus’s Nord Buds 4 Pro for strong noise blocking, long endurance and modern wireless tech at a Rs 3,999 launch price.
  • Testers reported seven to nine hours per charge and roughly 54–55 hours with the case, with Android Central noting the buds still read 100% after days of light daily use.
  • The buds launched in India only for now, which reviewers flagged as the one notable drawback to a package that challenges far costlier models on core performance.
  • Android Central criticized Samsung’s $180 Galaxy Buds 4 for a tip‑less, loose fit that let outside noise leak in and blunted ANC and sound, while the $250 Buds 4 Pro use silicone tips that seal inside the ear.
  • Samsung’s latest perks — ultra‑high‑quality audio via its Seamless Codec on Galaxy phones, a low‑lag gaming mode, Samsung Find tracking, Auracast broadcasts, and head‑gesture call controls — add polish yet cannot overcome the weak isolation of an open fit.
