Cons: Equalizer customization, Water/sweat resistance rating
For everyday earbuds, the Buds 4 sound fairly open and spacious, especially with higher-quality Galaxy playback modes enabled. They do not sound huge, but they avoid the boxed-in feel common...
Pros: Equalizer customization, Treble clarity
