Price hikes have become a predictable punchline in tech. This time, Samsung might be skipping the joke.
Fans holding their breath can exhale a little: a fresh price leak suggests the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and Buds 4 will land in the U.S. at the same tags as last year. The tip comes via noted leaker Roland Quandt, who lists the Buds 4 Pro at $249.99 and the standard Buds 4 at $179.99.
US prices reportedly hold steady: Buds 4 Pro at $249.99 and Buds 4 at $179.99.
That parity matters. Wireless earbuds are a crowded category, and keeping price points unchanged signals confidence in product upgrades rather than a plea for padding margins. But before anyone rushes to their wallet, remember this leak speaks to the U.S. market. Samsung’s price tags can—and often do—shift from region to region.
Earlier whispers from Europe hinted at no price increases, but those weren't tied to U.S. figures. Now, with a clear U.S. price leak on the table and Samsung's Unpacked event set for February 25, the picture is starting to look more certain. Expect official confirmation (or denial) during the unveiling.
Why the careful approach? It’s simple: competition is fierce and consumers are choosy. Keeping entry and premium points familiar helps Samsung maintain momentum—especially when rivals routinely undercut on features or push aggressive discounts. Still, the real story will be the features Samsung packs into the Buds 4 series: battery life that convinces, ANC that actually adapts, and sound tuning that justifies the premium model.
If you were planning to upgrade, this is welcome news. If you watch global pricing because you buy abroad, stay cautious—what holds in the U.S. won't necessarily hold everywhere. For now, though, the rumor mill is offering a rare thing in today's market: relief.
Mark the calendar for February 25. That’s when Samsung will either confirm the calm or stir the pot.
