In owners' own words

KillerMiya on Reddit

My only issue with them is how flat they sound when there are loud noises around.

swapping to the Buds4 Pro for Bluetooth recording have shown they do pretty awful

worked flawlessly until a week and a half ago, then I started having that issue

the case doesn't hold the charge. It discharges by itself by just laying around

Had to send them back because they wouldn't work properly with my Google Pixel.

the lock in lets me do pretty much nothing other than listen to music with it

Since I was scammed by mkhd and his promise of superior ANC on earbuds 4 pro.

Kinda bummed to see that these still have the hissing noise in ambient mode

Buds 4 pro, none of the sizes fit well, constantly fall out, never feel like they sit well in the ears

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

If the sound in the new headphones is so good, why do many write that with the latest firmware, the sound and noise cancellation are worse on previous models?

I ordered this and it's coming tomorrow. I loved the buds 3 pro, easily one of the best earbuds I've used. So excited to see all the improvements you've mentioned.

I only use one bud at a time, though, for safety reasons. It won't let me use ANC with just one, so I can only use ambient sound. AirPods let me use ANC with one bud, so that might be the difference.

Just ordered in black i really wanted white but i was skeptical of it yellowing or being dirty so went with black. Got it for 174 usd. Waiting for them now.

Looks like it's still the Samsung ecosystem auto-switch implementation rather than proper mutlipoint.

I don't own the buds 3, but I own buds 2 pro and buds 4 pro. Both have a setting to enable anc to work on only one headphone, I'm fairly certain that same option exists for the 3 as well. But yes, it was a specific option that needed to be toggled otherwise it did not work.

Using the b3pro u know there were chsrging issues . Do u see the same issue with the 4 pro? In the b3pro u had to wiggle it to ensure the tips connected but looks likd the b4pro design changes this. Do u feel this charging issue is solved?

Whats the battery life compared to buds3 pro? I always find them so underwhelming - but might be a personal pref. I tend to have long sessions coding/creating stuff. (4h+)
