The Galaxy Buds 4 series brings a portable AI voice assistant to life, featuring a metallic design and head movement control.

The most noticeable change in Samsung's new Galaxy Buds 4 series is its design. The earbud stems feature a sleek, metal-cut design with a recessed control panel for more intuitive touch operation and improved accuracy for blind use. Furthermore, the charging case now boasts a flip-up transparent lid inspired by seashells, allowing users to easily check if the earbuds are properly seated.

In terms of wearing comfort, Samsung referenced over 1 ear shape data points. The Galaxy Buds4 Pro adopts an in-ear design to achieve ultimate noise cancellation, while the Galaxy Buds4 features an open design, providing a lighter wearing experience.

Galaxy AI empowers: Answer calls with just a head movement

The coolest feature this time is the addition of Galaxy AI head motion control. When your hands are busy (such as carrying shopping bags or holding onto a handrail during your commute), if a call or alarm rings, you can simply "nod" or "shake your head" and the earphones will sense the movement and answer or reject the call.

Furthermore, AI integration has become more profound:

• Multi-model AI wake-up:In addition to the existing Bixby and Google Gemini, the Galaxy Buds 4 series also integrates Perplexity AI functionality. Users can quickly activate these AI services via voice commands, turning the earbuds into a dedicated microphone for AI.

• Instant Translation 2.0:It supports "Listening Mode," allowing you to continuously translate what the other person is saying by pinching the earpiece; in "Conversation Mode," a short press on the earpiece allows you to listen to the translation instantly, which is very useful for business people or travelers abroad.

Sound quality and noise cancellation: Automatic optimization based on ear shape detection

In terms of hardware, the Galaxy Buds 4 series features a larger bass driver (19.8% larger area), and the Pro version is equipped with an enhanced version of active noise cancellation (ANC), which can intelligently detect the user's ear shape and wearing method and dynamically adjust the noise cancellation intensity and frequency.

In addition, both headphones support ultra-wideband calling, and the microphone response frequency has been increased to 16 kHz to ensure clear sound pickup even in noisy environments.

As for the suggested retail price, the Galaxy Buds 4 is priced at $179, while the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro is priced at $249. Like the Galaxy S26 series, they will be available for pre-order starting today and will be officially launched on March 11.
