Samsung development of Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Overview

Reports indicate that Samsung is developing a new audio product, potentially named ‘Galaxy Buds On’ (internally referred to as ‘Able’), which features an open-ear, clip-on design. Unlike traditional in-ear models, these devices are intended to sit on the outer ear using a flexible silicone loop for all-day comfort.

Technical leaks suggest the hardware will include high-precision inertial measurement units (IMU) to enable head gesture controls, such as nodding to answer calls or shaking the head to reject them. The earbuds are expected to integrate deeply with Galaxy AI, supporting Bixby and Google Gemini, and may include features like ‘Auto Volume’ for environmental noise adjustment and a sleep-sensing mode that automatically pauses music if the user falls asleep.

Recent leaked renders suggest the device may consist of two rounded modules connected by a curved bridge, with one wider section sitting behind the ear and a circular end functioning as a speaker near the ear opening. This design follows a trend seen in products like the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings. Additionally, leaks indicate the headphones may utilize ‘open-air air conduction’ to direct sound toward the ear without physical blockage. Official details regarding battery life, water resistance, pricing, and a release date remain unconfirmed.
