- These earbuds have been approved by the FCC
- We might see them appear alongside the Galaxy S26
We've been hearing plenty about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro in recent months, and now it looks as though the launch of these wireless earbuds is imminent, according to new information that's emerged online.
As spotted by SamMobile, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have been approved over at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US – an essential regulatory step for any gadget that is going to go on sale in the United States.
There's no mention in this report of the standard Galaxy Buds 4, but we'll almost certainly see both pairs of wireless earbuds launch together, and once FCC certification is out of the way it doesn't usually take long for a product to appear.
The filing doesn't really tell us much about the earbuds, but previous leaks have revealed a flatter and more compact design this time around. It looks as though head gestures for answering calls might be supported too, as we've already seen on the Apple AirPods.
Now overdue

Another earlier leak pointed towards parts that were apparently set for the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, though the list that was published didn't give us any solid pointers about the features and audio upgrades that the earbuds might bring with them.
Considering the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and the Samsung Buds 3 were launched in July 2024 – alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, you might remember – it could be argued that the fourth generation versions are now overdue.
