Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Strong mics that reject background noise
  • Easier stem controls and a nicer case
  • Lots of Galaxy features incl. head gestures
  • Battery fine for a day
  • Bright, detailed music playback
  • Slim case with wireless charging
  • Good-looking design and many features

Cons

  • Loose fit for many ears, which kills bass and ANC
  • ANC among the weakest they've measured
  • Only IP54, lower than Buds 3
  • No multipoint; see-through lid scuffs
  • Kept falling loose on walks, transit and in bed
  • Bass muddy without a separate woofer
  • ANC barely noticeable
  • SoundGuysMar 2026

    Only for Samsung owners who already know open-style buds fit them; most should get the sealed Buds 4 Pro (global model).

  • TechRadarMar 2026

    Sounds detailed, but the tipless shape kept slipping out and the price is hard to justify (global model).

  • EngadgetMar 2026

    Good sound and a pleasant open fit make it a cheaper option for Galaxy owners, but don't buy it for noise cancelling (global model).

  • NotebookcheckJul 2026

    A practical everyday pair with an airy, comfortable fit, but thin on bass and ANC next to the Pro.
