Comfort-Focused Listening
The open design avoids silicone tips and does not fully seal the ear, making it a practical option for listeners who prefer a lighter, less enclosed fit.

Samsung Galaxy Buds4
Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Wireless Earbuds — Black
Open-fit wireless earbuds with high-resolution Samsung audio, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, intelligent Galaxy controls and a lightweight metal-accented design.
Galaxy Buds4 combine an open-style fit with Samsung’s latest wireless audio platform. The non-sealing design allows greater natural awareness than silicone-tip earbuds, while computational shaping based on global ear data helps the earbuds sit comfortably and securely during everyday listening.
Each earbud uses an 11mm dynamic wide-range speaker tuned for solid, controlled bass and clear high-frequency detail. Samsung Seamless Codec supports audio at up to 24-bit and 96kHz with compatible Galaxy devices, while Adaptive EQ adjusts the listening profile to suit the ear and wearing conditions.
Detailed Galaxy sound and intelligent control in an open-fit design created for comfortable, connected listening throughout the day.
Ideal For
Calls and Everyday Work
Six microphones, Super Clear Call and intelligent noise processing help keep speech more clearly defined during conversations in busy locations.
Galaxy Ecosystem Users
Quick pairing, automatic device switching, Galaxy AI assistance and Quick Panel controls create a closely connected experience with compatible Samsung hardware.
Key Features
11mm Wide-Range Speaker
The single dynamic driver balances controlled low frequencies with clear vocals and detailed treble across music, podcasts and entertainment.
High-Resolution Galaxy Audio
Samsung Seamless Codec supports up to 24-bit/96kHz playback on compatible Galaxy devices, preserving more subtle texture and detail over Bluetooth.
Adaptive Noise Control
Adaptive ANC reduces steady background sound, while intelligent noise control can change to Ambient mode when relevant sounds are detected.
Super Clear Call
Six microphones and intelligent background-noise reduction support clearer voice capture when taking calls away from quiet indoor spaces.
Pinch, Swipe and Head Gestures
Control playback, calls and volume from the metal blades, with supported head movements adding another convenient hands-free control option.
360 Audio with Head Tracking
Compatible films, music and video gain a more spacious presentation that responds naturally as the direction of your head changes.
Open Comfort with a Refined Metal Finish
Galaxy Buds4 use an open-type shape that rests in the ear without relying on silicone tips. This allows outside sound to remain more naturally present and can feel less intrusive for listeners who dislike the pressure created by a sealed in-ear design.
Real metal touch blades add a premium finish while providing a defined surface for gesture controls. The compact Black charging case features a translucent lid, making it easy to check that each earbud is seated correctly.
Sound That Adjusts to How You Listen
The 11mm driver covers bass, midrange and treble through a single wide-range design. Adaptive EQ can compensate for differences in ear shape and fit, helping deliver a more consistent balance as the earbuds move slightly during normal wear.
A nine-band equaliser on compatible devices provides additional control over bass, tone and treble. Volume EQ also helps retain a balanced character when listening at different sound levels.
Smarter Control Across Compatible Galaxy Devices
Opening the case near a compatible Galaxy smartphone or tablet begins the pairing process, while Auto Switch can move audio between supported devices signed into the same Samsung Account. This makes it easier to answer a phone call while listening on a Galaxy tablet, then return to the original content after the conversation.
Galaxy AI support adds access to compatible assistance, Interpreter and Live Translate features. Head gestures can provide hands-free responses to supported prompts, while Quick Panel integration on compatible One UI devices places noise control and saved sound settings within easier reach.
