The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro are now available for purchase at Joybuy for 169 euros. These wireless earbuds represent a more refined and mature design compared to earlier models, signaling a shift in the brand's aesthetic. Samsung aims to improve upon the technical features of previous generations while maintaining a strong focus on sound quality and comfort. The Buds4 Pro deliver balanced and natural audio with good bass and midrange precision, and they are comfortable, lightweight, and compact. They also offer good noise cancellation, effective microphones, multiple functions, and are rated IP57 for water and dust resistance. However, the headphones are not without flaws. The high frequencies can be slightly bright, and the noise cancellation could be more effective in the midrange. Their connectivity is limited to Samsung devices, and there is no iOS app available, which restricts their appeal to Apple users. Battery life is described as adequate but not exceptional. Despite these issues, the Buds4 Pro offer an overall improvement over their predecessors, with a more understated design, intuitive controls, and better microphones. Still, they fall short in some areas, such as noise cancellation, battery life, and ecosystem integration, and are not yet able to challenge the top-tier headphones on the market. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5, on the other hand, take a different approach. While they offer clear and deep sound, the audio can be overly aggressive and tiring for some listeners. The user experience is still solid, with intuitive controls, excellent microphones, and a wide array of features. However, accessing the Audio Connect app on Android devices is not user-friendly, and the battery life is considered disappointing. The semi-in-ear design of the FreeBuds Pro 5 offers comfort among the best in the market but is not as effective at blocking out ambient noise as fully in-ear designs. This limits the performance of their active noise cancellation, although it remains functional. Both the Galaxy Buds4 Pro and the FreeBuds Pro 5 highlight the ongoing competition in the wireless earbuds market, where companies are striving to balance sound quality, comfort, and feature sets while addressing user experience and ecosystem limitations.
