The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro adopted a sleek look with stems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-buds-3-pro-video-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">that had a light strip in them<\/a>. These blade lights, as they were called, were a significant departure from any design choice previously made for this product category.\n<\/p>\n<p>One would have expected such a significant design change to be kept around for the future. However, merely a year on, Samsung has decided to get rid of them.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPick a lane, Samsung\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/samsung\/galaxy-buds-4-pro\/hands-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">unveiled the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro<\/a> on February 25. It has redesigned the earbuds once again, and while it has the same stem design like its predecessor, Samsung has opted for a more understated look for its new earbuds.\n<\/p>\n<p>Keeping in line with the new aesthetic, it has removed the blade lights from the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and opted for a brushed metal finish for the stems instead.\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unfortunate, as there was a lot of potential here that could have been exploited. For example, Samsung could have made them customizable, maybe added RGB options, etc.\n<\/p>\n<p>However, Samsung\u2014and consumers\u2014had different priorities, as it revealed to us in a statement that you can read below:\n<\/p>\n<p>We engineered the Galaxy Buds4 series to be our most comfortable Buds to date. We have refined the\u00a0blade\u00a0design to be more sleek and secure whilst retaining a premium look and feel. We considered various factors and found that with our insights, features like a re-designed reassessed touch area on the\u00a0blades\u00a0with premium, real brushed metal were a priority for our consumers.\n<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, the blade lights are no more, and Samsung&#8217;s statement tells us we shouldn&#8217;t expect them to make a return any time in the near future. On the bright side, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro offer various advantages over its predecessors, including a more premium design and higher sound quality, which should appease most buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung introduced a substantial overhaul of the design of its wireless earbuds last year.
