Just a day after leaked images surfaced online, Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds On in South Korea, its first clip-on earphones. The clip type design is claimed to be comfortable for extended use, including during outdoor activities like running. The open design allows users to remain aware of their surroundings.
The earphones support touch controls for music and calls, with sensors at the back. They are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 chipset and a Class D amplifier, delivering up to 9.5 hours of continuous use on a single charge. Three microphones and a bone conduction-based vibration sensor detect when the user is speaking to reduce background noise during calls.
When connected to a Galaxy smartphone or tablet with Galaxy AI, users can invoke the assistant and perform various actions. The earphones also support Gemini Live and Head Gestures for answering calls, checking notifications, and canceling alarms. Priced at KRW 299,999 ($220), the Galaxy Buds On will be available in South Korea from October 27, with a phased rollout to other regions.
