Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro’s Superior Hi-Fi Sound Recognized by Audio Experts

Samsung Electronics America today announced that Galaxy Buds4 Pro has received the EISA In-Ear Headphones 2026-2027 Award by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). This marks the first time a Galaxy Buds product has earned this recognition from EISA, underscoring Samsung’s continued commitment to audio innovation, superior sound quality, intelligent adaptive listening technologies, and user-focused design.

The award is particularly significant because it validates the core engineering philosophy behind Galaxy Buds4 Pro: delivering sound as it was meant to be heard. The EISA Awards represent one of the most authoritative annual recognitions of audio quality in the global consumer electronics industry. Judged by expert editors from top technology publications across more than 25 countries, these accolades provide an independent assessment of audio performance and innovation. The recognition reinforces Samsung’s ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of premium wireless audio through advanced hardware, intelligent software, and user-centric design.

EISA’s praise further highlights the Galaxy Buds4 Pro‘s balance of audio performance, call quality, and everyday usability.

“Employing a two-way speaker with individual amplifiers dedicated to the woofer and tweeter (Samsung’s Galaxy Buds4 Pro) yields clean, musical detail,” commented Ljubisa Miodragovic, President at EISA. “Meanwhile, advanced Sensor Fusion technology combines a dedicated Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) with DNN-powered noise reduction to ensure exceptionally clear calls.”

“At Samsung, our goal has always been to deliver Hi-Fi sound that stays true to the original recording. Receiving the EISA In-Ear Headphones Award validates our commitment to audio engineering excellence and affirms our promise of delivering premium sound quality and user experiences,” said Han-gil Moon, Master and Head of Audio Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Users can be confident that Galaxy Buds4 Pro are built to provide the best and most satisfying sound experience. We will continue to build on this foundation to offer even richer listening experiences in the future.”

Galaxy Buds4 Pro delivers Samsung’s most advanced audio experience to date, with standout features including:

• A newly designed wider woofer that increases the effective speaker area by nearly 20%¹ over the previous generation, paired with a dedicated tweeter to deliver clean bass, rich treble, and 24-bit/96 kHz UHQ audio² true to the original recording. EISA experts praised Buds4 Pro for yielding “clean musical detail while limiting distortion across the frequency range.”
• Enhanced Adaptive ANC and EQ³ that analyzes wearing conditions and each user’s unique ear shape, applying optimal noise-cancelling algorithms in real time, so users can enjoy a consistent listening experience all day long.
• Super Clear Call⁴ enabled by the device’s advanced Sensor Fusion technology, which combines a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) with Deep Neural Network (DNN)-powered noise reduction to “ensure exceptionally clear calls,” even in noisy environments.
• An ultra-sleek, ergonomic blade design refined through hundreds of millions of global ear data points and over 10,000 simulations,⁵ featuring a premium metal finish, engraved pinch controls,⁶ and an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance.⁷
• Deeper Galaxy ecosystem integration that allows users to initiate AI agents⁸ and manage hands-free calls through intuitive Head Gesture⁹ controls.
