Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Buds On, its first open-fit earbuds, priced at $229. The new model uses a C-shaped cuff design and was developed with help from AI, according to Bloomberg. It will ship on November 6.
The Galaxy Buds On enter a growing open-fit category where Sony and Bose already compete. Samsung is betting that an AI-assisted design process and a distinctive shape can set its earbuds apart.
Galaxy Buds On specs and design
The Galaxy Buds On are Samsung's first open-fit earbuds. Unlike traditional in-ear models that seal the ear canal, open-fit designs rest outside the ear for comfort during long wear. The C-shaped cuff is a new form factor for Samsung.
Bloomberg reports the earbuds were designed with AI's help. Samsung has not shared detailed specifications such as battery life or driver size. The $229 price puts them in the premium range alongside Sony and Bose open-fit options.
