Buds4 Pro, Loved by BTS Member Suga: "Diaphragm Size Increased by 20%"

Samsung Electronics has unveiled two models in its next-generation Bluetooth earphone lineup, the "Galaxy Buds4 series." On the 25th (local time), at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 held in San Francisco, United States, the company introduced the in-ear "Galaxy Buds4 Pro" and the open-type "Galaxy Buds4." These products boast high-quality audio, comfortable wearability, and artificial intelligence (AI) connectivity.

Samsung Electronics stated that the Galaxy Buds4 series was ergonomically designed based on 100 million ear data points from users of various races, genders, and nationalities, as well as more than 10,000 wear simulations. As a result, users can experience a more stable and comfortable fit compared with the previous generation. The new design, which incorporates metal material into the stem, adds a sophisticated touch, and the semi-transparent case lid allows users to intuitively check whether the earbuds are stored inside.

The Buds4 Pro offers the best sound quality in the series’ history. Inside the product are small speaker units that divide the roles of sound reproduction into a woofer for low frequencies and a tweeter for high frequencies. When a single speaker reproduces all sounds, sound quality can become muddled and certain frequency ranges can weaken. However, the Buds4 Pro physically separates the woofer and tweeter, allowing them to divide roles like instruments in an orchestra to reproduce music and deliver optimal sound. In addition, by minimizing the bezel space at both ends, the diaphragm size has been increased by 20% compared with the previous model. This enables the reproduction of sound that is both more powerful and more detailed.

In the commercial for the Buds4 series shown at the Galaxy Unpacked event, Suga of BTS appeared working on music. Later, as he roamed the city wearing the product, he said, "It only has meaning if you can hear it exactly as it was produced. Listen to it just as it was made," suggesting the near-original sound experience offered by the Buds4 Pro.

The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) function has also been upgraded compared with the previous generation. The Pro model analyzes the user’s wearing status in real time to provide optimal noise-blocking performance. It is said to allow users to sleep comfortably on an airplane simply by wearing the Buds4. In addition, the Buds4 also supports Ambient Sound mode, enabling users to comfortably hear external sounds without removing the earbuds.

According to Samsung, users wear Buds products for more than 4 hours on average per day. Accordingly, the company also focused on functions that create synergy with the phone, such as call quality and AI agent activation. The "Super Clear Call" feature for high-quality calls analyzes the user’s voice pattern and surrounding noise to remove unnecessary background sounds. The company explains that smooth communication is possible to the extent that the person on the other end of the line would not notice even if the user is in a noisy soccer stadium.

Galaxy smartphone users can instantly pair with the Buds4 series simply by opening the charging case, without installing a separate app, and can easily control the Buds through the phone’s settings or Quick Panel. A new "Head Gesture" feature has also been added to both products, allowing users to answer calls or control Bixby simply by moving their head. For example, even when both hands are occupied with cooking or exercising, users can answer or reject calls with simple gestures such as nodding or shaking their head.

With the earbuds in their ears, users can summon their preferred AI agents such as Bixby, Gemini, or Perplexity. They can make diverse use of these features, such as listening to a news briefing while getting ready for work or receiving music recommendations suitable for the weather. This allows users to access AI technology without lifting a finger. Real-time interpretation is also possible. By wearing the Buds and placing the phone close to the speaker, users can "subtly" listen in on what local people are saying when overseas.

The product colors are white and black, with Pink Gold available exclusively for the Pro model on Samsung.com. Samsung Electronics will begin pre-orders from midnight on the 27th and will officially launch the products in Korea on March 11. Customers who pre-order can receive their products starting March 5. The prices are 359,000 won for the Buds4 Pro and 259,000 won for the Buds4. More detailed information about the products is available on Samsung.com.
