Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro Earn Editor’s Choice for Sound but Shine Most With Galaxy Phones

Priced at R5,000, the earbuds combine two-way drivers and Adaptive ANC with Samsung’s Seamless Codec to deliver high-fidelity audio that reviewers say is unlocked mainly on recent Galaxy phones.

Overview

  • NAG awarded the Buds4 Pro an Editor’s Choice, calling them the best smartphone earbuds the reviewer has used and praising their detailed, punchy sound.
  • The hardware pairs separate bass and treble drivers with dual amplifiers and supports 24-bit/96kHz audio through Samsung’s Seamless Codec on compatible Galaxy devices.
  • Adaptive ANC proved effective at cutting office hum and traffic noise, and the buds include Ambient, Voice Detect, and Siren Detect modes to let important sounds through.
  • Calls are clearer thanks to Samsung’s Super Clear Call system and multiple microphones, and the design adds wireless charging, IP57 water and dust resistance, three ear-tip sizes, pinch controls, and a low-latency Game mode.
  • The Buds4 Pro are sold in white, black and a Pink Gold option on the Samsung Store for R5,000, and reviewers warn that some advanced codec and software functions work best only when paired with a recent Galaxy phone, which limits full feature parity for other Android users.
