Wait 5 sec.

Over the past few months, reports have revealed that Samsung is working on two distinct types of wireless earbuds. We previously shared the basic design of these upcoming Galaxy Buds. Now, a more realistic-looking render of one of them—Galaxy Buds On—has emerged.The Galaxy Buds On are expected to be Samsung's first open-ear, loop-style wireless earbuds. They will reportedly launch in Black and White, and the black variant has been spotted via SammyGuru and tipster ThatJoshGuy (@thatjoshguy69). The design loops around the outer ear, which is preferred by users who dislike the pressure of traditional in-ear earbuds with silicone tips.

The speaker section of the Galaxy Buds On has a rounded shape for better ergonomics.Code strings in the Galaxy Wearable app indicate that the Galaxy Buds On will support the head gestures that first debuted with the Galaxy Buds 4 series. While they reportedly include utility features like Auto Volume and Volume Boost, they appear to lack active noise cancellation (ANC) and 360 Audio. Additionally, both Bixby and Google Gemini support seem to be on board.The Galaxy Buds On may also be able to start record voice, which can then be summarized using Galaxy AI. This feature can be ideal for quickly recording ideas or capturing meeting notes. Finally, the earbuds will reportedly pause playback automatically when they detect that you have fallen asleep.
