Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 Pro score 80/100 and deliver the most feature-packed Android earbuds money can buy — if you're willing to live inside Samsung's world and accept a few trade-offs along the way.

The 2-way speaker system combining a woofer with a planar tweeter pushes 24-bit/96KHz Hi-Fi audio that genuinely sounds premium at this price point. Adaptive ANC 2.0 adjusts in real time to your environment, and Live Translate during phone calls is the kind of future-tech feature that makes you pause and appreciate the moment. No subscription required for any of it. Performance scores a strong 90/100, and build quality at 88/100 is Samsung at its best.

Compared to AirPods Pro 3 (scored 84) and Pixel Buds Pro 2 (79), these land right in the competitive middle of the premium earbuds market. The trade-offs are clear: battery life at 6 hours with ANC trails behind the competition noticeably, and the best translation features — including in-call translation — are locked exclusively to Samsung Galaxy phones. Cross-platform users lose out on the headline features.

At $249.99, it's sitting at "Good price" momentum with a light-green signal. The lowest recorded price is $249, so you're essentially at the price floor already. That's rare for a product that just launched in March 2026, and suggests Samsung priced these aggressively from day one.

Bottom line: Buy now if you're a Samsung phone user — you're already at the best price, and the audio quality plus translation features justify the premium without hesitation.
