Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro are official — I tried them and take it from me, you should only be considering the Pro model

Samsung has just announced two new pairs of earbuds: the Galaxy Buds4, and the Galaxy Buds4 Pro. I’ve had the chance to listen to both ahead of the announcement, and based on my early tests there’s only one model worth buying if you have a Samsung phone — unfortunately it's the pricier Pros.

Now, Samsung promises some serious upgrades for both the Buds4 and Buds4 Pro. Thanks to “over 10,000 simulations" and over 1 million ear data points Samsung says both pairs are comfier and fit better than any of the buds to come before, and I'm inclined to agree.

In my tests the more open-ear Buds (that would be the Buds4) fit well, though I do feel the ear-canal-filling Buds4 Pro with their ear tips sit more securely.
