Is the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro worth the upgrade from the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless to the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro buys you 22.7 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in battery (5.0 to 7.3), sound (7.5 to 9.1) and calls (7.0 to 8.6). On paper: battery life 4 h to 7 h, active noise cancelling and weight 17 g to 10.2 g. That costs $30 more, or about $1 per point of score - reasonable value for the jump. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
