I don't believe there is a major issue with the lineup, moreso it's that everybody already has decent buds, and there are not any major improvements with the 4 lineup to justify replacing existing buds.

In my case, I suffer from an undiagnosed mental illness that leads to me buying an obscene amount of audio listening devices from SlickDeals. I've tried to pull the trigger on Buds 4 Pro sales and no matter how hard I try I can't justify it.

I own these, as well as the 1st gen original buds, the buds live, and one other samsung one i called the bean which i gave to my brother. In my opinion, this is the worst of them all. Not talking sound quality, but these just wont stay in my ear when im at the gym and fall out constantly.

I picked up the Buds3 Pro yesterday for a similar price. Are these a better option?

I also have the Buds+ and Buds 3 Pro. The 3 Pro were a major improvement, but all of them fall out of my ears. I had to get Comply memory foam ear tips to hold them in. They fit into the grooves of your outer ear and are around $25. Got my Buds 3 packaged together on eBay for $60.

Short answer: Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro are considered the better‑sounding earbuds based on expert reviews, user impressions, and lab measurements — but the Buds3 Pro are still very good. The Buds4 Pro consistently score higher for bass quality, clarity, natural mids/highs, and overall refinement.Below is a structured, evidence‑based breakdown using RTINGS, Tom's Guide, SoundGuys, Soundmali, and real user commentary from reviewers. All claims are cited.🎧 1. Sound Quality Comparison (Expert Consensus)Galaxy Buds4 Pro — "Best‑ever Samsung sound"
  • More balanced, wider, airier soundstage than Buds3 Pro
  • Improved bass: heavier but controlled, no muddiness
  • Less treble harshness: Buds3 Pro had a 1–2 kHz peak that could sound piercing; Buds4 Pro fix this and sound more natural
  • Dual‑driver system (woofer + planar tweeter) gives clearer highs and better detail retrieval
  • Industry‑level sound quality comparable to AirPods Pro 3, Sony WF‑1000XM6, Bose QC Ultra
Galaxy Buds3 Pro — Good, but less refined
  • Strong bass but more "bombastic" and less controlled than Buds4 Pro
  • Treble slightly emphasized; can sound a bit sharp depending on track
  • Single‑driver design limits separation and clarity compared to Buds4 Pro's dual‑driver setup
Verdict: Buds4 Pro deliver cleaner highs, smoother mids, and more controlled bass — a clear upgrade.🔊 2. ANC & Transparency (Sound‑Related Experience)Buds4 Pro
  • Noticeably improved ANC, now competitive with AirPods Pro 3
  • Transparency mode more natural and less hissy than Buds3 Pro
Buds3 Pro
  • Good ANC, but not as strong as Buds4 Pro or top competitors
Verdict: Buds4 Pro again win — better isolation improves perceived sound quality.🎤 3. User & Reviewer Comments (Sound‑Focused)What people say about Buds4 Pro
  • "More natural, less piercing" mids/highs (Aaron X Loud & Wireless)
  • "Best‑sounding Samsung earbuds yet" (ZDNET)
  • "AirPods‑level sound quality" (Tom's Guide)
What people say about Buds3 Pro
  • "Peak around 1–2 kHz can be sharp" (Aaron X Loud & Wireless)
  • "Warm but more bombastic bass" (RTINGS)
📊 4. Lab Measurements (RTINGS)Buds4 Pro
  • Bass: Emphasized +3 dB (controlled)
  • Treble: Slightly underemphasized (smooth)
  • Sound signature: Warm, balanced
Buds3 Pro
  • Bass: Very emphasized +6 dB (boomier)
  • Treble: Slightly underemphasized (but with peaks)
  • Sound signature: Warm but less refined
Verdict: Buds4 Pro measure closer to ideal target curves.🧠 5. Final Recommendation (Sound Quality Only)Choose Galaxy Buds4 Pro if you want:
  • Best sound Samsung offers
  • Smoother mids/highs
  • More controlled bass
  • Better ANC → better perceived clarity
  • More natural transparency
  • Dual‑driver detail
Choose Galaxy Buds3 Pro only if:
  • You prefer a more aggressive bass profile
  • You find them significantly cheaper
  • You like the older "blade" aesthetic
Overall Winner for Sound Quality: Galaxy Buds4 ProEvery major reviewer — RTINGS, Tom's Guide, ZDNET, Soundmali, SoundGuys — agrees the Buds4 Pro sound better and are a meaningful upgrade over the Buds3 Pro.Since you said they're the same price, the Buds4 Pro are the clear choice.
Stop using AI man , this is buds 4 not buds 4 pro lmao

I upgraded from 3 pro to 4 pro last week and I'm impressed with the difference. Sound is better, fit is much better, and noise cancelling is way better.

You're comparing the 3 Pro to the 4 Pro, the deal is for the 4 non pro version.
