Apple AirPods 4 (ANC) vs Samsung Galaxy Buds FE

Apple AirPods 4 (ANC)

A significant step up from AirPods 3 with improved bass, clearer mids, and better spatial audio — though sealed earbuds still deliver more impact.

• The new acoustic architecture delivers notably improved bass depth and mid-range clarity over AirPods 3
• Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking creates a convincing immersive experience for Dolby Atmos content
• Bass can't compete with sealed earbuds — if you want thumping low end, AirPods Pro 2 or Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are better choices

Samsung Galaxy Buds FE

Clean, balanced sound at a budget price.

• AKG-tuned sound is balanced with good detail — punches above its $99 price
• 360 Audio with head tracking works well on Samsung phones
