The need to fix the mics on these fast. It's sad when the Buds 3 pros are leaps and bounds better than the 4s.

better ANC than the 3 pro, less bass and more treble than 3 pro with extended upper treble ... the anc is not as good as airpods pro 3 but reduced the gap between the two from the wider gap between buds 3 pro-airpods pro 2 anc performance
Comparison
Idk if it's a PC firmware problem or what, but Jabra Elites work better for call stability.
Comparison
Never had a problem with Wibdows, using the Galaxy Buds app for it. Always connects seamlessly
Praise
I agree, only downside for the Buds4 Pro is the case design. I liked previous one because I can easily hold and open/close with one hand. The buds4 pro case is a bit more bulky, so less comfortable in the pockets compared to the Buds3.
Comparison
I got mine for 40 bucks with my s25 ultra purchase. Once i got used to the quirks (controls, fit, ear placement and getting them in and out of the case) they have been fantastic. The stinky smell has finally gone away.
Praise
This is BS, I use them on windows without any problem. I charge them on my Samsung phone wirelessly. They don't get hot (maybe your charger is the problem). Fit is subjective, I do all kind of stuff wearing them, they don't fall out. And as for their design, I'm used to it now, so no problem there as well.
Mention
Interesting with windows connection I with it was more smooth, I think I have issues too
Complaint
Have absolutelty zero issues connecting them to windows 11, not even once, doing it daily since release ... they are awkward to put in and they sometimes dont even charge, becouse you have to surgically place them right in there to make them charge.

I always had the same earbuds not fitting in my ear like him. Buds 3 Pro's were the worst offenders for me, so much so that I actually switched to Soundcore A40s but I do miss the squeeze controls a lot so I might try these again if the fit is improved.
Complaint
One thing that's a little disappointing is that there isn't a huge jump in performance from the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to the Buds 4 Pro — if you have the 3 Pro, there's no real need to upgrade.
Comparison
I give them a 4/5 because they're good for calls; otherwise, I'd give them a 3+ ... If I bought them for €250, I'd probably return them because of the disadvantages, but since I bought them for €125, I'll keep them because of the advantages.
Mention
I'm a fan of stem style earbuds so i was super happy when Samsung moved to stems for the Buds 3 pro. for me these are the most comfortable Samsung buds ever and up there as being one of the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used.

✅ What Works
- IP57 water resistance is the strongest in the premium TWS tier — the buds can survive brief submersion, not just sweat. A genuine advantage for outdoor workouts and wet conditions.
- Dual-driver design (planar tweeter + dynamic woofer) delivers impressive treble extension and wide soundstage. Objective scores put sound quality on par with the AirPods Pro 2 and Sony XM5.
- Galaxy AI features are legitimately useful for Samsung phone owners — real-time live interpreter, super-wideband calls, 360 Audio on Samsung TVs, and seamless auto-switching between Galaxy phone and Galaxy PC.
- 9-band EQ in the companion app with Adaptive Noise Control, Find My Buds, and full Galaxy AI feature access for compatible Samsung devices.
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- ANC is measurably weaker than both the Sony XM5 and AirPods Pro 2 — SoundGuys measured only 76% noise reduction, and reviewers note you can still hear conversations clearly with ANC on. This is a regression from the Buds2 Pro, not an improvement.
- Real-world battery falls well short of spec — SoundGuys tested 4h 31min with ANC on vs. Samsung's claimed 6 hours. Meaningful for full-day users.
- Advanced features are Samsung-only — SSC Hi-Fi codec, Galaxy AI interpreter, 360 Audio, and auto-switching require a recent Samsung flagship. iPhone and non-Samsung Android users pay $329 for a stripped-down experience.
- Samsung halted shipments shortly after launch due to production quality control issues. Shipments have since resumed but the launch stumble is worth noting.
ClearPick Verdict
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a solid pair of earbuds built almost entirely for Samsung Galaxy phone owners. The dual-driver sound quality is genuinely impressive, IP57 rating beats everything else in the TWS tier, and Galaxy AI features are useful if you travel internationally. The problem: ANC is a step backward from the Buds2 Pro, real-world battery falls well short of Samsung's claim, and the best features are locked behind Samsung hardware. On iPhone or non-Samsung Android, you're paying $329 for about half a product.
