Overview
- Preorders are live at $179 and $249, with U.S. retail availability set for March 11.
- The redesign swaps angular stems for flat metal blades with engraved pinch controls, shrinks the earbud heads and returns to a transparent clamshell case where buds lie flat.
- The Pro model uses a wider woofer in a two‑way driver for cleaner bass, while both support 24‑bit/96kHz audio on recent Galaxy phones and offer 360 audio.
- Samsung claims stronger noise control via Enhanced/Adaptive ANC and ambient modes, plus Siren Detect and auto voice detect on Buds4 Pro.
- New hands‑free options include head‑gesture call controls and voice access to Bixby, Google Gemini and Perplexity, alongside Galaxy‑only Quick Panel shortcuts; battery life is rated at 5–6 hours per charge with IP54/IP57 durability, and Amazon is bundling $20–$30 gift cards on Prime preorders.
