Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

I agree, although the BP4 sounds are clearer at times, I genuinely enjoy the sound of my BP3 far more despite both being on balanced EQ. I will give them a week but as of right now I will be returning them.

Audio quality is better but not really worlds apart as you said. I can notice it side by side but otherwise would not, some bits in songs i often listen to are a bit more detailed though, I'd say an improvement of 15% (not scientific ofc🤣). But honestly the b3p were already really good in that regard. Noice cancelling is way better and actually the reason for me to get these, that was my only complaint(apart from real multipoint) on the buds 3 pro. I haven't tested transparency yet, so can't comment on that yet

I feel B3P has a much louder sound. Im on the fence about returning B4P. First gym workout still heard to much commotion sound. I had them all still have buds 2. Just don't use because they fall out sometimes. And really upset with Samsung doing away with trade in program. Die hard Samsung user. And it sucked not being able to trade B2.

Bass jump is huge for me with wavelet eq buds 3 pro would start popping buds 4 pro sound great. Anyways the anc is still weird tho like the more u turn it up the anc gets better but air/wind noises get louder so a trade off for whatever reason. I set it one under max. Comfort is better while I didnt have any problems with 3 pro they definitely feel more compact. Only thing is the swipe should be on the back half like 3 pro and u shouldn't have to sit there and tickle ur ear lol. I use voice controls anyway but ye no far better for me.

I like the pros 4 but disappointed that I can’t voice command to change a song or lower volume using an iPhone like I can with the buds pro 3.

I received my BP4 buds today. Comparing them to my BP3 buds I don't think they are worth the upgrade. I think the fit is slightly better, that's about it. Audio wise pretty much identical. The controls on the BP4 are worse. Trying to click the button 3 times is frustrating (I know it's not much better on the BP3 but IT IS easier) I also like the unique LED's on the BP3 (I realise that not everyone liked them but I do). If you are upgrading from much earlier models or from a different OEM then yes I would recommend the BP4 buds. They are comfortable and they sound excellent. But if like me you are happy with the Pro 3 buds then save your money. I am fortunate to be able to return mine.

Just got my Buds 4 pro from bestbuy today to replace my Buds 3 pro. I've had the B3P almost since launch so I think I have a fair opinion. Trying the B4P for the first time, it's really surprising that the ambient is so different when compared to the B3P. To be honest, it sounds worse, noticeably so. First off, the white noise is louder and more prominent on the B4P. Maybe I'm extremely picky, but I think it's definitely worth noting. Hopefully this can be fixed in a future software update though. Second, the ambient mode just sounds more muffled. It can still be considered "ambient mode", but the B3P sounds a lot clearer. It's as if the B4P are being slightly dampened. I'll give credit where it's due and say that the ANC is definitely improved, but I think the sound quality isn't as big of a jump as people are thinking. You still receive the same base as the B3P, but the vocals are lighter and quieter in contrast to supporting/background sounds. With 0 EQ changes on either pair, the B3P takes the cake easily for me. Honestly, I feel you could tweak the EQ on either device to make it sound like other based on your preference. Overall, I'm a little disappointed with the new launch. The ambient mode issue and the lack of vocal punch is really stinging. Out of the two issues stated, at least the latter can be changed through EQ, and besides, EQ expectations are more subjective than anything. The ambient mode problem on the other hand cannot be excused, and I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about it (maybe I am just really picky haha...). If you have the B3P and are considering upgrading, do yourself a favour and don't. The improvement isn't worth the price tag, especially now that they've removed trade-ins. TLDR: B4P have better ANC, but have lighter vocals and the ambient has more white noise and is less clear than the B3P. If you're considering upgrading from the B3P, don't bother. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try my best to respond. This is my first post using Reddit so hopefully it's not terrible :)

The B4P have larger and better contact points compared to the tiny ones on the B3P. I've had the B4P for only a little bit so I can't say, but I'd assume the larger contact points would have fixed this issue.

I never had any discomfort wearing the B3P but they didn't fit very snug. The B3P have fallen out of my ear whilst working out a couple of times. The B4P fit a lot better and I can't seem to shake them out, even with the greatest of head shakes.

and it isn't a small difference either. Currently for sound, I'd choose the B3P any day over the B4P. Just unfortunate that I can't return them. Hopefully software updates fix them.

They fit a lot better and I don't notice them as much in my ears as much as the B3P. Definitely more snug as well.

The ANC has improved, but voices can still be slightly heard. Its mainly syllables that have higher pitches that'll slip through. Youll notice that people are talking even with ANC on, but it'll be nearly all drowned out by your music. Even with no music, it's enough such that you won't be able to understand what theyre saying. For my commute, the sound of the train has decreased tramendously, almost wiped out. The B4P won't make you completely isolated from the world, but its a very large step up from the B3P.
