Our take

Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 Pro score 80/100 and deliver the most feature-packed Android earbuds you can buy โ€” if you're willing to live inside Samsung's world.

The 2-way speaker system (woofer + planar tweeter) pushes 24-bit/96KHz Hi-Fi audio that genuinely sounds premium. Adaptive ANC 2.0 adjusts in real time, and Live Translate during phone calls is the kind of feature that makes you feel like you're living in the future. No subscription required for any of it. Performance scores a strong 90/100.

Compared to AirPods Pro 3 (scored 84) and Pixel Buds Pro 2 (79), these land right in the middle. The trade-off is clear: battery life at 6 hours with ANC trails behind competitors, and the best translation features are locked to Samsung phones.

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 floor already. That's rare for a product this new.

Bottom line: Buy now if you're a Samsung phone user โ€” you're already at the best price, and the audio quality plus translation features justify the premium.
