The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 are the latest open-fit wireless earbuds from Samsung, launched in March 2026 alongside the Galaxy S26 series. They bring genuine Hi-Res Audio, Adaptive ANC, and Galaxy AI integration into a lightweight, tip-free design. So if you find traditional in-ear buds uncomfortable, the Buds4 offer a real premium alternative.
Open Fit, All-Day Comfort
The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 use an open-fit design — no silicone tips, no ear canal seal. They rest naturally on the outer ear at just 4.6g per earbud, making them one of the lightest earbuds in their class. A new stabilised blade design, refined through millions of global ear data points and over 10,000 simulations, gives a secure fit without pressure. The premium metal stem finish also adds a noticeably cleaner look compared to previous Galaxy Buds generations.
Hi-Res Sound in an Open Design
An 11mm dynamic driver delivers 24-bit / 96kHz Hi-Fi audio via Samsung’s SSC codec — preserving more detail than standard Bluetooth audio. This is especially impressive for an open-fit earbud, which typically sacrifices bass depth for comfort. The Buds4 manage the balance well. Activate 360 Audio with Head Tracking through the Galaxy Wearable app and the soundstage widens into an immersive, three-dimensional experience — like sitting inside the music rather than listening to it.
Noise Cancellation That Keeps Up
Adaptive ANC reads your ear shape and fit in real time, then adjusts noise cancellation accordingly. It handles consistent background sounds like traffic, office hum, and café noise effectively. Adaptive EQ 2.0 also runs alongside ANC to keep sound balanced as your environment changes. Ambient Sound mode lets in natural audio around you when needed, so you never feel cut off.
Crystal-Clear Calls
Three microphones work with a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) and Deep Neural Network processing to isolate your voice during calls. Personalized Beamforming focuses microphone pickup directly toward your mouth, cutting out noise from other directions. Super Wideband calling at 16kHz delivers noticeably clearer voice quality compared to standard Bluetooth calls — especially when paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
Galaxy AI in Your Ear
The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 bring Galaxy AI features directly to your ears. Live Translate handles real-time two-way language translation during calls. Interpreter mode works during in-person conversations. Chat Assist helps compose messages hands-free. Head gesture controls let you answer or reject calls with a simple nod or shake — no need to touch the earbuds at all.
Battery That Goes the Distance
You get 6 hours of playback per charge with ANC off, or 5 hours with ANC on. Add the case and total playback extends to 30 hours (ANC off) or 24 hours (ANC on). The case supports both USB-C and wireless charging, making it easy to top up however suits you.
