Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 lineup retools design, boosts ANC and adds new hands-free features

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro at Galaxy S26 Unpacked with a redesigned, flatter blade-like design and improved sound. Both models offer stronger active noise cancellation, ambient sound and adaptive EQ, with 24-bit/96kHz audio support. The Buds 4 stay open-fit while the Buds 4 Pro add a sealing tip, and the Pro adds voice-detection for conversations, Siren Detect for safety, and head-gesture controls plus hands-free access to Bixby, Gemini and Perplexity. Prices start at $180 (Buds 4) and $250 (Buds 4 Pro), with pre-orders live and shelves arriving March 11; colors include black, white, and a pink-gold Pro exclusive.
