Edifier NeoBuds
Score: 92/100
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro
Score: 93/100Rankings
Galaxy Buds 4 Pro deliver top-tier ANC, robust water resistance and a rich feature set for Samsung users, though they fall short on codec support and multipoint connectivity.
The NeoBuds Planar deliver audiophile-grade clarity with planar magnetic drivers and robust codec support, complemented by adaptive ANC and wireless charging. Their premium price, modest battery life, and bulky ergonomics limit appeal for everyday users.

Professional reviewers praise the NeoBuds Planar for their unrivaled clarity, planar-magnetic driver technology, and robust codec support, but criticize the modest battery life, lack of bass impact, premium price, and ergonomic quirks such as overly sensitive squeeze controls.
Everyday users love the detailed, airy sound and the convenience of the pressure-squeeze controls and ANC, especially for acoustic and classical listening, but complain about weak bass, short battery life when ANC is active, the protruding earbud shape, and an app that nags for account creation.
Professional reviewers commend the Buds 4 Pro for strong ANC, IPX7 durability and deep Samsung ecosystem integration, but note a flat sound signature, lack of high-resolution codecs and no multipoint Bluetooth.
Everyday users love the comfort, effective ANC and water resistance, but complain about inconsistent Voice Detect, fit issues for smaller ears and battery wear over time.
“Crisp, detailed sound unlike any other TWS earbuds”
“Perfect for jazz, classical, and acoustic music”
“Love the pressure controls - no accidental touches”
