[Edaily Reporter Han Kwangbeom ] SamsungElectronics(005930)unveiled the “Galaxy Buds On,” the first clip-style wireless earbuds in the Galaxy Buds series that do not block the ears, on the 1st.

The Galaxy Buds On are designed to rest lightly over the ear, reducing discomfort from prolonged wear and allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings while walking or exercising.

SamsungElectronics analyzed data on various ear shapes and conducted simulations to optimize the placement of the speakers and battery. It expanded the contact area to distribute pressure and adjusted the elasticity of the band to ensure a stable fit even during vigorous movement.

To enhance audio performance, the earbuds feature “Twin Boost Speakers” that emphasize the low-frequency range. They also include an automatic volume control feature that adjusts volume based on the external environment, as well as “Audio Leakage Reduction” technology to minimize sound leakage.

The device utilizes the Snapdragon S7 1st Generation Sound Platform and a high-efficiency Class D amplifier, delivering up to 9.5 hours of music playback on a single charge.

For call functionality, it utilizes three microphones, a bone-conduction-based vibration sensor, and machine learning technology. By separating the user’s voice from ambient noise, it maintains call quality even outdoors in windy conditions or indoors in noisy environments.

When paired with Galaxy AI-enabled smartphones and tablets, users can access features such as Gemini Live, Quick Voice Memo, and Head Gestures. Users can answer or end calls, dismiss alarms, and check message notifications simply by nodding or shaking their head.

Users can adjust volume and equalizer settings via the smartphone’s Settings menu and Quick Panel without needing to install a separate Galaxy Wearable app.

SamsungElectronics will launch the Galaxy Buds On in South Korea on the 27th as a single model in black. The price is 299,000 won. The product is scheduled to be released in global markets sequentially thereafter.

Kim Jeong-hyun, Executive Vice President and Head of the CX Division at SamsungElectronics’ MX Business Division, stated, “The Galaxy Buds On features a form factor designed to accommodate consumers’ diverse daily usage scenarios, providing users with a comfortable everyday listening experience while remaining naturally connected to their surroundings.”
