RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – February 28, 2026 –  On February 25, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Buds4 series at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in San Francisco, showcasing exceptional sound performance and advanced AI capabilities.

Reimagined as a personalized audio assistant, the Galaxy Buds4 series marks a significant evolution in wearable audio — combining intelligent sound with all-day comfort.

Samsung Newsroom got an early hands-on look at the Galaxy Buds4 series during Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

Design: Data-Driven Comfort for the Perfect Fit

The Galaxy Buds4 series embodies precision engineering. Developed using more than 100 million global ear-shape data points and 10,000 fit simulations, the earbuds feature a refined ergonomic design that delivers lasting comfort, even during extended wear.

The pinch control area — recessed where the fingers naturally rest — enhances tactility and enables intuitive control.

A semi-transparent charging case lets users easily check the earbuds and charging status. Beyond aesthetics, the device reflects thoughtful attention to everyday practicality.

Color: Modern Classics With a Signature Finish

The Galaxy Buds4 series stands out visually. Classic White and Black colors for both Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro feature a smooth, modern finish, while the online-exclusive Pink Gold for Galaxy Buds4 Pro adds a refined touch. With its subtle sheen and rosy hue, Pink Gold brings warmth and sophistication — doubling as a stylish accessory.

Sound: Immersive Audio That Fills the Senses

Galaxy Buds4 Pro reveals its true capability in a listening session. For the first time, Samsung has introduced a bezel-less woofer that expands the speaker’s vibrating surface area by about 20% compared with the previous model. The result is deeper, more resonant bass paired with clear, refined highs from the tweeter — all in ultra-high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio true to the original recording.

Noise canceling is also more advanced. Enhanced Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) creates an optimized algorithm tailored to each user’s fit and ear shape. Even in a loud exhibition hall, ANC delivers an immersive experience — as if stepping into a quiet, personal listening space. An expanded equalizer adjustment range further ensures consistent sound quality without tonal shifts, regardless of how the earbuds are worn.

Call quality has improved as well. Powered by machine learning, Super Clear Call delivers crisp audio in noisy environments. With 16kHz bandwidth support, voice comes through clearly, free from surrounding noises.

The Galaxy Ecosystem: Seamless, Hands-Free Control

The Galaxy Buds4 series reaches its full potential when paired with a Galaxy smartphone. Opening the charging case instantly triggers a connection pop-up for seamless pairing. Users can adjust noise canceling levels or change settings directly from the Quick Panel — even without the Galaxy Wearable app.

Another highlight is the newly introduced Head Gestures feature. A simple nod allows users to answer calls hands-free — ideal when exercising or carrying items.

Voice commands also launch AI agents such as Gemini and Perplexity, minimizing the need to take the smartphone out of a pocket.

Moving beyond hardware innovation, the Galaxy Buds4 series delivers a personalized audio experience tailored to individual lifestyles.
