I tried out the 'Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro/Buds4,' which have been upgraded overall, including sound quality.
Samsung's wireless earphones have steadily improved upon the shortcomings of the previous generation model.

On the left is the black 'Samsung Galaxy Buds 4,' and on the right is the pink gold 'Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.' Both cases have a clear lid, allowing you to see the earphones inside.
This is what it looks like when you open the lid. The earphone body and the case are the same color. There is a battery indicator light below the 'SAMSUNG' logo on the front of the case.
The case has a USB Type-C port for charging and a connection button on the back.
The base has a built-in coil, so wireless charging is also possible.
The Buds4 are in-ear earphones that look like this when you take them out of the case.
Buds4 Pro are in-ear headphones with ear tips.

This is what the Buds4 Pro look like when worn. When worn, the ear tips are completely hidden, so the only visible difference is a subtle difference in the shape of the microphone area.
The Buds 4 weigh 54g including the case.
The Buds 4 Pro weighs 55g including the case.
Pairing is done by opening the case lid. With the latest Galaxy series, if you place them nearby, opening the lid will bring up a pairing dialog and allow connection. Once paired, subsequent connections are so fast that they are usually completed as soon as you open the case lid and put them in your ears.
During the initial pairing, a tutorial will be displayed showing gesture controls and other information.
The noise cancellation settings and various controls can be finely tuned.
The 'Automatically switch to ambient sounds' setting allows you to toggle the detection of voices and sirens.
Here's what the earphone controls look like.
By default, a long press after pinching toggles noise control, but it can also be changed to summon the AI assistant or translate.
Here's what the voice control options are like.
The supported languages include American English, British English, Chinese, Korean, and a total of 17 languages. Unfortunately, Japanese is not included.
You can also answer or reject incoming calls by shaking your head. In addition to turning the head-shaking gesture on or off, you can assign answering and rejecting to either 'nodding your head up and down' or 'shaking your head from side to side.'
The sound quality and effects settings are as follows.
Even if you have paired one earbud with multiple devices, as long as you are logged into your Samsung account on the device, you can switch the connection to the default device when making or receiving calls, playing media, etc.
After actually using them, I couldn't think of any complaints about the sound quality or usability of the Galaxy Buds 4, and the Buds 4 Pro further improved the user experience with its snug fit thanks to the ear tips. Overall, they were such good products that I couldn't think of anything more to say than 'they're great...' As for the noise cancellation performance, it seemed almost without any problems, but some people might think 'it could be a little stronger.'
With active noise cancellation on, the Buds 4 Pro offers 6 hours of playback time, and the Buds 4 offers 5 hours, both of which are more than enough for about two movies. Because the connection reconnects quickly, if you actively put them back in the case when not in use, you won't need to worry about battery life at all.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are sold for 41,250 yen at the official store. They were available on Amazon for 41,248 yen. The basic colors are white and black. The official store also offers a limited edition pink gold color.
