Samsung’s Galaxy Buds4 Pro Wins First EISA Award, Recognized for “Ear-Tailored” Technology Beyond Sound Quality

Samsung Electronics said on the 24th that its wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro, were named Best Product in the In-Ear Headphones category at the EISA Awards 2026-2027.

This is the first EISA award for the Galaxy Buds series. According to Samsung Electronics, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro was internationally recognized for its sound quality and personalization technology.

The personalization technology takes into account each user’s ear shape and wearing condition, and the award also recognized the overall quality of the wireless earbuds themselves beyond factors such as connectivity with mobile devices. The recognized areas of quality included sound quality, call quality, and wearing comfort.

The EISA Awards are a global consumer electronics awards program that began in 1982. Major tech experts from more than 25 countries worldwide evaluate products based on performance and innovation.

What sets the Galaxy Buds4 Pro apart is that it delivers improved sound quality at the hardware level rather than through software. Compared with the previous generation, the speaker’s effective surface area was increased by about 20% to strengthen bass reproduction, and a dedicated tweeter was also added for more precise high-frequency expression.

In addition, separate amplifiers were applied to the woofer and tweeter, and a 2-way speaker structure was adopted to enable independent driving of the low and high frequency ranges. This differs from structures in which a single amplifier handles the full range, with a focus on reducing distortion and improving the expression of musical detail.

The product supports 24-bit, 96 kHz ultra-high-quality audio. Ljubisa Miodragovic, EISA president, said the 2-way speaker structure with dedicated amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter delivers clear sound and rich musical detail.

Samsung Electronics also focused on responding to real-world wearing conditions, along with sound quality improvements, in the Galaxy Buds4 Pro. The Galaxy Buds4 Pro is designed to analyze whether the earbuds are being worn and the shape of the user’s ears, and to adjust the noise-canceling algorithm in real time. Depending on changes in the wearing angle, the earbuds can vary sound isolation performance and sound quality, and they can also vary sound isolation performance and sound quality depending on changes in how tightly they fit between the ears and the product.

The Galaxy Buds4 Pro continuously reflects these changes in wearing conditions. Based on this, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro was designed with the goal of delivering a consistent listening experience even during extended use and while on the move.

Large-scale data was used in developing the wearing comfort. Samsung Electronics secured more than 100 million ear data points worldwide and carried out more than 10,000 wearing simulations. Based on this data, Samsung Electronics applied a new 'Premium Metal Blade' design and said the 'Premium Metal Blade' is a data-driven design intended to ensure stable comfort across a variety of ear shapes.

For call quality, the bone-conduction-based vibration sensor Voice Pickup Unit was applied. Sensor fusion technology combining this with a noise-reduction algorithm was also applied, and Super Clear Call is a feature based on this sensor fusion technology. The feature is designed to identify and transmit the user's voice even in environments with heavy background noise.

Moon Han-gil, master at Samsung Electronics’ MX Division Audio Group, said Samsung’s goal is to deliver the sound intended by creators to consumers without distortion. He added that, based on this goal, the company will continue technological innovation and pursue richer, more satisfying listening experiences, and through this aims to lead the global wireless audio market.
