Samsung Galaxy Buds3
Samsung Galaxy Buds4
The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 are the next generation of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3. The newer model brings incremental, quality-of-life upgrades over sweeping changes, so it might not be worth upgrading if you're a Buds3 owner. Both of them feature a stemmed, one-size-fits-all earbud design, though the Buds4 have a better build quality and a sturdier case. That said, while neither has stellar ANC, the previous generation does a slightly better job of tamping down on mid-range frequencies. It also has a slightly more balanced default sound, with less roll-off in the bass range and bizarrely, a better ingress rating (IP57). Both buds have a similar battery life, clocking in at a little over four hours, so this is unlikely to be a deciding factor.
