Beats Fit Pro Black
Score: 71/100
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 with ANC
Score: 80/100Rankings
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 are true-wireless earbuds with Adaptive ANC 2.0, Hi-Res 24-bit/96 kHz audio and IP54 water resistance. Their advanced features are largely locked to Samsung devices and battery life suffers with ANC enabled. Ideal for Galaxy users who want premium sound and integration, but less appealing to non-Samsung owners.
The Beats Fit Pro are true-wireless earbuds with wing-tip stability, active noise cancellation, and a bass-forward sound signature. They trade off longer battery life and a bulkier fit for a secure, sweat-resistant design. Ideal for athletes and iPhone users who prioritize fit and ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Beats Fit Pro for its secure wingtip fit, strong ANC, and H1-driven Apple ecosystem features, noting its durability and bass-forward sound that suits active listeners. However, they point out ergonomic bulk, average mic performance, lack of multi-device pairing, and modest battery life as drawbacks, especially for users seeking a neutral sound profile.
Everyday users largely appreciate the secure fit during workouts, the robust build, and the convenient iPhone integration, while recurring concerns focus on fit comfort for smaller ears, the dominant bass response, and occasional microphone issues.
“won't fall out even during intense activity”
Professional reviewers commend the Galaxy Buds4 for their refreshed design, Bluetooth 6.1 stability, Adaptive ANC/EQ, and the exclusive SSC UHQ mode that delivers studio-grade sound on compatible Galaxy phones. Samsung's own previews stress the immersive 24-bit/96 kHz audio and ear-shape-optimized ANC, while YouTube reviewers highlight the usefulness of real-time Adaptive EQ and head-tracking 360 Audio. Criticism centers on the restriction of UHQ to select devices, the requirement of the Galaxy Wearable app for full functionality on other phones, and battery life figures that omit the impact of active ANC.
Because the Buds4 have only just launched, user feedback is limited, but early pre-order chatter suggests strong enthusiasm for the sound quality, ANC performance, and tight Galaxy ecosystem integration. Anticipated complaints focus on reduced feature support for non-Samsung phones and concerns that real-world ANC usage will shorten battery life.
