기대 1도 안 한 버즈4 프로, 모든 게 좋아졌습니다;;

Product overview

• Two new models: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro (in‑ear/kernel type) and Galaxy Buds 4 (open type).
• Color options: white and black for both; Buds 4 Pro has an exclusive pink‑gold (interior apricot/beige) on Samsung.com.
• Design cues: return toward the original Galaxy Buds “bean/short” form for easier insertion (less vertical stem). Case has a “jewelry box” wide lid; a transparent lid was noted as stylish.

Main features & specifications

• High-resolution audio: Buds 4 Pro supports 24‑bit / 96 kHz playback (Ultra High Quality Audio toggle).
• Bezel-less woofer on Buds 4 Pro — claimed ~20% larger effective speaker/diaphragm area versus the previous model.
• Adaptive ANC: Buds 4 Pro offers more advanced/adaptive ANC that responds to environments (e.g., subway, cafe).
• ANC levels: Buds 4 Pro provides four adjustable ANC levels (via the Wearable app). Buds 4 (open type) offers modes (Off / Ambient / Adaptive / ANC) but lacks fine-grain ANC steps.
• Adaptive EQ that tailors sound to ear shape automatically.
• Software/AI features: voice‑summonable AI assistants (e.g., FunNai/Perplexity), improved real‑time interpretation.
• Physical control improvements: flatter stem and a small groove for clicks; swipe up/down to change volume.
• New decorative case options (mother‑of‑pearl / traditional pattern) available.

Design & fit (user experience)

• Fit improvement compared with Buds 3 Pro: more integrated and stable, better for small ears and exercise.
• Stem shape reduces pressure points; flat stem improves comfort.
• Improved eartips and physical sealing contribute to better ANC and isolation.
• The open‑type Buds 4 surprisingly provides noticeable noise cancellation and better‑than‑expected isolation for an open design.

Sound quality (listening impressions)

• Buds 4 Pro:
  • More detailed, slightly more percussive/punchy presentation.
  • Treble feels clearer and more solid; soundstage feels more open (good for gaming).
  • Ultra High Quality Audio toggle enhances bass strength and treble clarity (noticeable but not dramatic).
• Compared with Buds 3 Pro: Buds 3 Pro had rounder, bouncier bass; Buds 4 Pro is more detailed and refined.
• Bezel‑less woofer and larger diaphragm area cited as reasons for improved bass and clarity.

ANC and isolation

• Reviewer perceived ANC/shielding as about twice as strong compared to Buds 3 Pro.
• AirPods Pro still perceived to have stronger ANC overall, especially in low frequencies.
• Buds 4 Pro ANC is strong but adjustable (four levels) to avoid dizziness or a stuffy feeling.
• Buds 4 (open) offers surprising ANC effectiveness for an open design, though it lacks granular level controls.

Controls & software

• Physical:
  • Flat stem improves comfort and reduces pressure.
  • Tactile clicking and swipe volume controls work well.
• Software:
  • Adaptive ANC and adaptive EQ.
  • Voice‑summonable AI assistants, improved translation, and head‑gesture controls (answer/reject calls).
  • These features add convenience and practical upgrades beyond hardware changes.

Pros

• Much improved fit and comfort; better seal for many ear sizes.
• Stronger ANC and improved physical shielding compared with the previous generation.
• Noticeable sound improvements: richer bass, clearer treble, more detail; 24‑bit / 96 kHz support on Pro.
• Bezel‑less woofer with roughly +20% effective speaker area.
• Useful software features: adaptive ANC/EQ, voice AI, translation, head‑gesture controls.
• Luxurious finish options (matte metal stem, pink‑gold/apricot beige interior) and improved case design.

Cons / caveats

• AirPods Pro still slightly better at ANC, especially in the low end.
• Buds 4 (open type) lacks granular ANC level adjustments available on the Pro model.
• No concrete battery life or pricing information provided in this hands‑on review.
• Past quality control/durability issues existed with earlier models; reviewer notes improvements but cautions that long‑term testing is needed.

Comparisons

• Versus Galaxy Buds 3 Pro:
  • Buds 4 Pro: better fit, stronger ANC (~2× per reviewer), different sound tuning (less rounded bass, more percussive/detail).
• Versus AirPods Pro:
  • AirPods Pro retain an edge in ANC strength, especially at low frequencies.
• Open‑type Buds 4:
  • Some creators were skeptical that an open earbud could have effective ANC; reviewer finds the Buds 4 ANC surprisingly effective.

Verdict / recommendation

• Overall positive hands‑on impression: fit, shielding, ANC and sound are noticeably improved.
• Good upgrade for users of older Galaxy Buds (especially Buds 3 or earlier) or anyone wanting better ANC and sound without switching ecosystems.
• If ANC is your single top priority, AirPods Pro may still hold a slight advantage; otherwise the Buds 4 Pro is a well‑rounded, recommended update.
