Samsung expands its sound lineup with the debut of the Galaxy Buds On, the company’s first wireless earbuds that attach to the outer ear instead of sitting inside the canal. Their open‑ear architecture lets you enjoy music or calls while staying aware of the world around you.

Clip‑on, open‑ear construction for comfort and situational awareness

The Buds On sport a wide, adjustable clip that rests on the outer ear, supported by a flexible band that conforms to a variety of ear shapes. By positioning the drivers just outside the ear canal, the earbuds deliver audio without fully isolating you from ambient sounds, helping you stay alert to your surroundings.

Sound quality and leakage‑reduction technology

Audio is driven by Samsung’s TwinBoost speakers paired with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform and a Class‑D amp. An intelligent volume‑balancing algorithm ensures consistent loudness, while the proprietary Audio Leakage Reduction system limits sound that escapes the earbuds, reducing disturbance for nearby listeners.

Battery endurance and playback duration

Samsung claims the Buds On can provide up to 9.5 hours of uninterrupted music on a single charge, enough to power a full day of commuting or remote‑work sessions.

Calling features, AI integration, and gesture controls

Three built‑in microphones, a bone‑conduction voice sensor, and AI‑powered noise suppression work together to produce crystal‑clear voice transmission even in noisy environments. The earbuds tie into Samsung’s Galaxy AI ecosystem, enabling voice commands such as launching Gemini Live or creating a Quick Voice Memo. Head‑gesture controls let you answer calls, mute alarms, or glance at notifications without touching a device.

Effortless pairing with Galaxy devices

Opening the charging case instantly pairs the Buds On with compatible Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Users can tweak volume, equalizer presets, and other preferences straight from the phone’s Quick Panel or Settings menu.

Pricing, availability, and pending specs

The earbuds are priced at KRW 299,000 (approximately ₹21,000) and will hit South Korean shelves on 27 October in a sleek black finish. An international rollout is slated for later, though Samsung has yet to reveal details like driver size, Bluetooth version, supported codecs, or charging speed. Additional specifications are expected as the launch date nears.
