Two-way drivers and IP57 — the Galaxy flagship, locked to Galaxy phones.
Overall score 8/10
Pros

- + Excellent call quality with wind-resistant mics
Cons
- − 6 hours with ANC on and 21 total is poor for a $249 product
- − Multipoint, head tracking, hi-res and translation all require Samsung hardware
- − No iOS app at all, so iPhone users get basic playback only
- − Samsung's own site and retail listings disagree on the Bluetooth version
Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro review: what the specs say
Two-way drivers and IP57 — the Galaxy flagship, locked to Galaxy phones. At $249.99, Samsung's 2026 model sits in the middle of the range — the wireless Earbuds we compare run from $99 to $329.99. It scores 8.0/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Sound Quality at 8.5/10 — tuning, detail and codec support. The weakest is Battery at 6.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 6 hours with ANC on and 21 total is poor for a $249 product; and multipoint, head tracking, hi-res and translation all require Samsung hardware. Every specification on this page comes from Samsung's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
