Samsung Galaxy H1 and new audio product development

Overview

Samsung is reportedly developing a new line of premium wireless audio products, headlined by the “Galaxy H1” over-ear headphones. This project marks a strategic return to the high-end over-ear market, a segment the company has largely avoided since approximately 2014-2015 to focus on the Galaxy Buds in-ear series.

Evidence discovered within the Galaxy Wearable app and APK files suggests the Galaxy H1 will feature Bluetooth 6.0, adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC), and high-resolution audio via the SSC UHQ codec. Technical leaks indicate the device may include 360 audio with head-tracking, a “Conversation Mode” that adjusts to ambient sound during speech, and a hybrid control system combining physical buttons on the left ear cup with touch surfaces on the right. The headphones are intended to compete with the Apple AirPods Max, Sony WH-1000X series, and Bose QuietComfort Ultra.

Beyond the flagship over-ear model, Samsung is expected to expand its portfolio with open-ear designs. This includes the “Galaxy Buds On,” which reportedly features a clip-on, two-part design with a silicone loop, automatic volume control, and gesture controls such as head nods. While some reports suggest a release for these products as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, other industry speculation points to a potential market launch for the Galaxy H1 in 2027.
