Samsung unveils its first clip-on open-ear earbuds, the Galaxy Buds On
“Samsung” has unveiled the “Samsung Galaxy Buds On,” its first clip-on open-ear earbuds. The earbuds will go on sale on October 27 and will initially be available only in South Korea. They will cost 299,000 won, or approximately $220 (374 manats). It has been confirmed that sales will later begin in other countries as well, but an exact date has not been announced.
The “Galaxy Buds On” do not enter the ear canal like conventional models. A C-shaped clip holds each earbud at the edge of the ear. Thanks to the open design, the user can hear surrounding sounds, and the earbuds may be more comfortable when worn for extended periods. According to “Samsung,” different ear shapes were studied, and the speaker and battery were positioned in a balanced way. The charging case, which has a transparent lid, resembles the case for the “Galaxy Buds 4” models. Airflow directs sound from the edge of the ear canal to the eardrum. Little technical information is available about the “TwinBoost” speakers. However, the model’s name indicates that each earbud could have 2 audio drivers. There is also a separate feature to reduce sound leakage and prevent people nearby from hearing the music. The earbuds are expected to increase the volume automatically in noisy places. They will not have an effective ANC feature that electronically cancels external sounds.
The earbuds can be controlled using the touch-sensitive area behind the clip, voice commands and head movements. Users will be able to nod to accept a call and shake their heads from side to side to reject it. Artificial intelligence assistants such as “Bixby” and “Gemini” are also expected to work. Fast pairing with “Samsung Galaxy” smartphones and access to “Galaxy AI” features will also be available. The earbuds will operate for 9.5 hours on a single charge. This is longer than the latest “Galaxy Buds” models. “Samsung” has not yet disclosed the total operating time with the charging case. The company will provide additional information about the “Galaxy Buds On” on October 27, when sales begin. The international price and the countries where the earbuds will be released are not yet known.
