- Leaks point to Galaxy Buds 4 at €179 and Buds 4 Pro at €249 in Europe, matching current models
- A 25W wireless charging pad could be bundled with some early purchases in France, reports say
- A Feb. 25 launch is being floated by leakers, but Samsung has not announced the earbuds
Samsung Electronics’ next Galaxy Buds wireless earbuds may land in Europe at unchanged prices, with the Galaxy Buds 4 tipped at €179 and the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro at €249, according to multiple recent reports citing the same leak. (TechRadar)
That pricing matters because consumer electronics makers have been nudging up tag prices where they can, and Samsung is already rumoured to be weighing selective increases for its coming Galaxy S26 phones in some markets. Holding the line on earbuds would give Samsung room to talk “more features for the same money” when it next refreshes its mobile lineup. (SamMobile)
The leak is also being read as a signal for other regions, including the United States, where the company has tried to keep its true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds — fully wireless in-ear headphones — close to the pricing of rivals. Android Authority said the European numbers matched the launch prices of last year’s Galaxy Buds 3 series. (Android Authority)
Reports have also pointed to a Feb. 25 unveiling window, after the Buds 4 names surfaced in Samsung’s Members app, a customer support channel. Notebookcheck said the same leak detailed black and white colour options in France and much of Europe, while an earlier apricot variant for the Pro model may be limited by market or sold through Samsung’s own store.

In France, Samsung could sweeten early sales with a bundle rather than a discount. Les Numériques reported that both models may ship in packs that include a 25W wireless charging pad at no extra cost — but only for the black versions — leaving the listed prices unchanged. (Lesnumeriques)
If the figures hold, Samsung would be staying in the thick of a market dominated by Apple’s AirPods line and crowded by premium options from Google and Sony. Price stability at the top end matters because small differences can sway buyers already weighing ecosystem perks and phone compatibility.
The same leaks point to feature upgrades that have become table stakes in the segment: tighter integration with Samsung’s software, new gesture controls, and refinements to noise cancelling and translation tools. Some reports have also suggested changes to the charging case and tracking features aimed at reducing “lost case” headaches.
But leaks are slippery, and the numbers could still shift by country once taxes, retailer margins and currency moves are baked in. Promotional bundles are also often limited by colour, channel or inventory, and Samsung can adjust at the last minute if component costs swing.
For now, the pricing chatter sets expectations ahead of Samsung’s next launch cycle. A flat price in Europe would make it easier for Samsung to pitch the Buds 4 as an upgrade over the Buds 3 generation without asking buyers to pay more.
It would also put Samsung’s earbuds closer to a familiar bracket against Apple and Google, where features — not just the tag — decide the sale. In that fight, bundling a wireless charging pad may be the kind of small nudge retailers like, especially in price-sensitive markets.
Samsung has not announced the Galaxy Buds 4 line, and details on final specifications and availability remain unconfirmed. The next concrete sign will be whether the company sets an event in late February and whether the leaked price tags show up in retailer listings.
