Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

Manufacturer specification · No USB Type-C cable is included, and the wireless charger and cable are sold separately; Samsung does not name the case's wired charging port on this page. Charging power 2.5 to 4.5 W. On Galaxy devices with One UI 8.0 or later, settings are in the phone's device settings and Quick Panel; earlier versions use the Galaxy Wearable app, which needs Android 12.0 or above with at least 1.5 GB of memory. On iOS the earbuds connect as Bluetooth audio but cannot be controlled because the Galaxy Wearable app is not supported. Samsung (US) lists HD Voice, 24-bit/96 kHz audio, 360 Audio, Bixby and Gemini voice wake-up, Interpreter/Live Translate, Head Gestures and Gaming Mode as unavailable on non-Samsung Android phones with the app; iOS devices and PCs connected over Bluetooth get 16-bit/44 kHz audio, standard call quality, ANC and Ambient mode.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro

What it brings

Samsung lists a 2-way woofer-and-tweeter speaker with dual amplifiers plus Voice Detect and Siren Detect; the Galaxy Buds4 has a 1-way driver with a single amplifier and Samsung says those two detection features are Buds4 Pro features.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
IP57 rating on the earbuds (Samsung says the Charging Case is not water resistant), three sizes of ear tips in the box and a wirelessly charged case.
Manufacturer source

What to check

The Galaxy Wearable app is not supported on iOS, so iPhone owners get Bluetooth audio without Samsung's controls; elsewhere the app needs Android 12.0 or later, while Galaxy devices on One UI 8.0 or later use the phone's own settings.
Manufacturer source
Neither a USB-C cable nor a wireless charger is included, and each earbud weighs 5.1 g, heavier than the 4.6 g Galaxy Buds4.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

Sennheiser HD 800 S

What it brings

Its 56 mm ring-radiator driver is rated 10–44,100 Hz (−3 dB) with total harmonic distortion of 0.02% or less at 1 kHz and 1 V rms, in a diffuse-field-equalised open design.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Both a 6.35 mm unbalanced and a 4.4 mm balanced cable are included, and the ear pads, headband padding and dust covers can be replaced by the owner.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

At 300 ohms, check that your amplifier or audio source can drive the headphones properly. The documented connection uses the supplied analogue audio cables with 6.35 mm and 4.4 mm plugs.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Sennheiser describes the intended use as listening at home with high-quality audio systems. A standard 3.5 mm adapter can be used, but the reviewed sources do not explicitly establish whether one is included.
