The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro are designed to deliver immersive sound and advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), helping reduce distractions whether you're commuting, traveling, or working in a busy environment. But if you're not getting the level of noise cancellation you expected, the earbuds themselves may not be the problem.

ANC performance depends on more than just the technology inside your earbuds. The way they fit, the settings you use, and how well they're maintained all play an important role in blocking outside noise.

Here are some simple ways to improve ANC on your Galaxy Buds4 Pro and get the most from your listening experience.

1. Make Sure You're Using the Right Ear Tip Size

The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro rely on a proper seal to deliver their best ANC performance. If the included ear tips don't fit your ears correctly, outside noise can enter your ear canal before the ANC system has a chance to reduce it.

If your ear tips are too small, the earbuds may gradually loosen as you move throughout the day. If they're too large, they can create pressure that makes the earbuds uncomfortable or prevents them from sitting securely.

Take a few minutes to test every ear tip size included with your Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro. Wear each size for at least 15–20 minutes instead of making a quick decision after a few seconds. You may even discover that one ear needs a different size than the other, which is completely normal.

Finding the right size not only improves comfort but also helps your Galaxy Buds4 Pro deliver stronger bass, clearer sound, and more effective noise cancellation.

2. Position Your Earbuds Correctly

Even the right ear tip size won't help if your Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro aren't positioned correctly.

Insert each earbud gently into your ear, then rotate it slightly until it feels stable and forms a complete seal. You shouldn't have to force the earbuds deep into your ear canal—instead, they should sit comfortably while creating consistent contact with your ear.

If your earbuds feel loose after only a few minutes, remove them and try inserting them again before assuming you need a different size. Sometimes a small adjustment in angle is all it takes to achieve a much more secure fit.

When your Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro fit properly, you'll notice better stability, fuller bass, improved ANC and fewer interruptions from constantly adjusting the earbuds.

3. Check Your ANC Settings

The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro include several listening modes, and making sure the correct one is enabled can have a significant impact on how much outside noise you hear.

Open the Galaxy Wearable app and verify that Active Noise Cancellation is turned on. If your earbuds offer adjustable ANC levels or adaptive features, spend a little time testing them in different environments. What works best in a quiet office may be different from what you prefer on an airplane or busy train.

To get the best ANC performance, make sure you:

• Enable Active Noise Cancellation in the Galaxy Wearable app
• Select the ANC level that best matches your environment
• Disable Ambient Sound mode when you want maximum noise reduction
• Install the latest firmware updates
• Test your earbuds in different environments to find the settings that work best for you

Taking a few minutes to explore the settings can help you get the most out of your Galaxy Buds4 Pro.

4. Keep Your Buds4 Pro Clean

Your Galaxy Buds4 Pro use external and internal microphones to analyze surrounding noise and generate opposing sound waves.

If those microphones become blocked by dust, earwax, or debris, ANC performance may suffer.

To help keep your earbuds performing at their best, regularly clean:

• The silicone or memory foam ear tips
• The speaker mesh
• The external microphone openings
• The charging contacts on both the earbuds and charging case

Keeping your earbuds clean helps ensure consistent audio quality and noise cancellation.

5. Keep the Firmware Updated

Samsung periodically releases firmware updates that may improve stability, call quality, and overall performance.

Open the Galaxy Wearable app to check for available updates and install the latest firmware when possible.

Keeping your earbuds up to date helps ensure you're benefiting from the latest software improvements.

6. Consider Memory Foam Ear Tips

If you've tried adjusting the fit and settings but still aren't satisfied with the ANC, your ear tips may be limiting performance.

Memory foam ear tips compress before insertion and expand inside your ear canal to create a more personalized seal than standard silicone.

Many users find that memory foam can help:

• Improve passive noise isolation
• Reduce outside noise before ANC even activates
• Help ANC perform more consistently
• Improve comfort during long listening sessions
• Enhance bass response
• Keep earbuds more securely in place

Because ANC works best when there's minimal sound leakage, a better seal can make a noticeable difference.

Upgrade Your Galaxy Buds4 Pro with Comply Memory Foam Ear Tips

If you're looking to get the most from your Galaxy Buds4 Pro, Comply Memory Foam Ear Tips are designed to conform to the unique shape of your ear canal for a personalized, secure fit.

Compared to standard silicone tips, Comply Foam Tips can help improve comfort, stability, passive noise isolation, and overall listening performance. By creating a better seal, they can also help your Galaxy Buds4 Pro deliver more effective Active Noise Cancellation.

Get the Best Noise Cancellation Possible

The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro already offers impressive ANC, but getting the best performance depends on achieving a proper fit and maintaining your earbuds.

Choosing the right ear tip size, positioning the earbuds correctly, keeping them clean, updating the firmware, and using memory foam ear tips can all contribute to a quieter, more immersive listening experience.

Sometimes, the biggest improvement comes from something as simple as a better seal.
