Answer calls with a nod... "Head Gesture" feature
Over 10,000 simulations... Ergonomic design
Removes ambient noise... Clear call quality
Samsung Electronics has unveiled two models in its next-generation Bluetooth earphone lineup, the "Galaxy Buds4 series." The Buds4 series newly introduces a gesture feature that allows users to answer calls simply by moving their heads.
On the 25th (local time), Samsung Electronics introduced the new "Galaxy Buds4 Pro" and "Galaxy Buds4" at "Galaxy Unpacked 2026" held in San Francisco, United States.
According to Samsung, the Buds4 series was ergonomically designed based on more than 100 million ear data points and over 10,000 wear simulations from users around the world, to provide a fit that matches the diverse shapes of users' ears.
As a result, they remain comfortable even during extended use and do not easily fall out, even in situations with intense movement such as exercise.
The stem portion of the Buds4 is precisely crafted in metal so that users can easily control volume and media with their fingers. The case features a semi-transparent cover, allowing users to intuitively check whether the earbuds are stored inside.
Galaxy Buds4 Pro further enhances immersion with powerful bass performance. For the first time, it applies a bezel-less woofer that maximizes the vibrating surface of the speaker while minimizing the edges, expanding the effective speaker area by about 20%. Together with a tweeter that accurately reproduces high frequencies, the improved 2-way speaker supports ultra-high-quality audio at 24-bit, 96 kHz.
The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) function has been upgraded from the previous model to the point where it can block airplane noise. In addition, the Buds4 also support Ambient Sound, allowing users to comfortably hear external sounds without removing the earbuds.
The "Super Clear Call" feature for high-quality calls uses a machine learning model to analyze the user's voice patterns and surrounding noise, removing unnecessary background sounds. It provides up to twice the 16 kHz voice bandwidth compared to conventional Bluetooth calls through earphones, enabling a clearer call experience.
The Buds4 series newly incorporates a "Head Gesture" feature, which allows users to answer calls or control Bixby simply by moving their heads. For example, even when both hands are unavailable, such as while cooking or exercising, users can accept or reject calls with simple motions like nodding or shaking their heads.
The Galaxy Buds4 Pro is priced at 359,000 won, and the Galaxy Buds4 is priced at 259,000 won. Both are available in two colors, white and black, and for the Pro model only, a Pink Gold color will be released exclusively on Samsung.com.
Samsung Electronics will begin pre-orders for the Buds4 series at midnight on the 27th and will officially launch them in Korea on March 11. Customers who pre-order will be able to receive their products starting March 5.
