<\/a><\/p>\nGalaxy Buds4 Pro comfort and fit<\/p>\n
Then it was time to put them in.\u00a0There\u2019s a little space-age whooshing sound when you pop the Buds4 Pro into your ears, which I loved far more than such a tiny detail probably deserves.\u00a0It\u2019s almost like the doors to the outside world have closed.<\/p>\n
Whoosh.<\/p>\n
Welcome to your own private sound bubble.\u00a0More importantly, they were comfortable.\u00a0Really comfortable.\u00a0The Buds4 Pro slide easily into my ears, feel soft once they\u2019re in and don\u2019t create the pressure or aching I experienced with my older pair.\u00a0Samsung says the ergonomic design has been developed using ear-shape data and computational modelling to create a secure fit suitable for extended wear. (If you know me, you know I like to do a littel reasearch). In my case, it worked.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve worn them for long stretches while working and essentially forgotten they were there. They also feel reassuringly secure. I can move my head around normally without wondering whether I\u2019m about to launch an expensive earbud across the room.<\/p>\n
All-day comfort is one of Samsung\u2019s big selling points for the Buds4 Pro.\u00a0It\u2019s also one of mine.<\/p>\n
My earbuds spend a lot of time connected to my laptop.\u00a0I use them for calls and online meetings, videos, music while I\u2019m working and the occasional audiobook. In other words, I need them to be useful rather than precious.\u00a0Pairing the Buds4 Pro with my laptop via Bluetooth was ridiculously easy.\u00a0The laptop spotted them straight away. I connected them and that was basically it. As a side, I connected to a Probook.<\/p>\n No crawling through Windows sound settings. No wondering why a call was still coming through the laptop speakers. No disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth while muttering things that aren\u2019t appropriate for a technology review.\u00a0Everything simply went where it was supposed to go.<\/p>\n At one point while working from home, I wandered away from the laptop and into the kitchen and realised I was still connected.<\/p>\n Was I deliberately conducting a scientific Bluetooth range test?\u00a0Absolutely.\u00a0Was I actually getting something from the kitchen?\u00a0Possibly.\u00a0Either way, the connection didn\u2019t drop.<\/p>\n Samsung naturally takes integration further within its Galaxy ecosystem, with features such as Easy Pairing and Auto Switch available across compatible Galaxy devices. But you certainly don\u2019t have to be using a Samsung phone to appreciate straightforward Bluetooth connectivity.<\/p>\n Galaxy Buds4 Pro sound quality<\/p>\n Calls are important for the way I use earbuds, but music was where I really started appreciating the Galaxy Buds4 Pro.\u00a0The sound feels all-encompassing.\u00a0Once the music starts, there\u2019s a real sense of being surrounded by it rather than simply having sound fired into each ear.<\/p>\n There is plenty of technology working behind the scenes to create that experience (science!).\u00a0\u00a0The Buds4 Pro use an advanced 2-way speaker system, separating the woofer and tweeter and using dedicated amplification to reproduce everything from bass through to finer details at higher frequencies.\u00a0Samsung also offers Ultra High Quality audio at up to 24-bit\/96 kHz when used with compatible Galaxy devices, along with 360 Audio for a more spatial listening experience. I mostly listened to music through my Samsung phone and I must admit, I did really notice the difference.<\/p>\n For those who like to get particular about their sound, there\u2019s also a 9-band equaliser for tailoring it to your preferences.\u00a0I\u2019m not going to tell you I spent my afternoon adjusting individual frequencies while stroking my chin thoughtfully.\u00a0I put on music.\u00a0It sounded fantastic.\u00a0That\u2019s my test.<\/p>\n Active Noise Cancellation that doesn\u2019t completely shut out the world<\/p>\n Part of that immersive experience comes from the Buds4 Pro\u2019s Active Noise Cancellation.<\/p>\n Samsung\u2019s noise-cancelling algorithm analyses surrounding noise in real time and can adapt according to your ears and the way the Buds are sitting. Adaptive Noise Control can also balance noise cancellation and ambient sound according to what\u2019s happening around you.<\/p>\n The effect was immediately noticeable to me. Put some music on and the distractions around you fade into the background.<\/p>\n Sometimes, during a working day, that\u2019s a very nice place to be.<\/p>\n Completely shutting yourself off from the world isn\u2019t always desirable, though, and this is where a couple of the Pro features become particularly interesting.<\/p>\n Voice Detect can recognise when you start talking and allow more ambient sound through, while Siren Detect is designed to recognise emergency sirens and make sure important outside noise isn\u2019t completely lost.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t go hunting for an ambulance to test it.<\/p>\n Some review features are best left to Samsung\u2019s engineers.<\/p>\n Calls quality matters too<\/p>\n As much as I enjoy music, these wouldn\u2019t work for me if they couldn\u2019t handle a normal working day.\u00a0They can.\u00a0I\u2019ve used the Galaxy Buds4 Pro for calls and meetings from my laptop and have been really impressed with their everyday performance.<\/p>\n Samsung uses six microphones to help isolate your voice from surrounding noise, while Super Wideband technology can provide enhanced voice quality when paired with a compatible Galaxy smartphone.<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t using Samsung\u2019s full Galaxy-to-Galaxy setup for my laptop calls, so I\u2019m not going to claim I was testing Super Wideband.<\/p>\n What I can say is more relevant to my everyday use anyway: people could hear me, I could hear them and I didn\u2019t spend meetings fighting with my earbuds.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a win.<\/p>\n Pinch, swipe and head gesture controls<\/p>\n Samsung has packed a surprising number of control options into something so small.<\/p>\n Pinch Controls let you manage music and calls directly from the Buds, while swiping can adjust the volume.<\/p>\n There are also head gestures, allowing compatible functions to respond to a nod or shake of your head.<\/p>\n There\u2019s something slightly futuristic about answering technology by nodding at it.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also something slightly concerning about how quickly we\u2019ve all accepted this as normal.<\/p>\n The practical advantage is that you can perform common actions without constantly reaching for your phone, which becomes increasingly useful once the controls start feeling natural.<\/p>\n Galaxy AI, Interpreter and Bixby<\/p>\n It is 2026. Of course your earbuds have AI.<\/p>\n When paired with compatible Galaxy AI devices, the Buds4 Pro can work with Interpreter to deliver translated conversations through the earbuds while translated text can appear on the phone.<\/p>\n They can also provide voice access to supported AI agents, including Bixby, so you can ask questions or perform tasks without taking out your phone.<\/p>\n These weren\u2019t central to the way I tested the Buds4 Pro, and I\u2019m not going to pretend I spent my working week wandering around having multilingual conversations with AI assistants.<\/p>\n But I do think these features say something interesting about where earbuds are heading.<\/p>\n They\u2019re becoming more than tiny speakers we stick in our ears. They\u2019re another way of interacting with the technology around us, potentially without needing to stare at yet another screen.<\/p>\n Whether you use all those capabilities today is another question, but the potential is interesting.<\/p>\n Galaxy Buds4 Pro battery life<\/p>\n Samsung rates the Galaxy Buds4 Pro for up to 6 hours of music playback with Active Noise Cancellation switched on, or 7 hours with ANC off.<\/p>\n Add the charging case and that increases to up to 26 hours with ANC on or 30 hours with it switched off.<\/p>\n For calls, Samsung rates them for up to 4.5 hours with ANC on or 5 hours with ANC off, extending to 20 or 22 hours respectively with the case.<\/p>\n Those are Samsung\u2019s laboratory figures, of course. Real-world battery life will vary depending on volume, calls, Bluetooth conditions and the features you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n For my mixture of calls, meetings, music, videos and the occasional audiobook, the charging case means battery life isn\u2019t something I need to obsess over.<\/p>\n Take them out, put them back in the case and they\u2019re topping themselves up ready for next time.<\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly how this sort of technology should work.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
