Is the over-the-ear clip design attractive enough to replace traditional in-ear headphones, or will users still prioritize sound quality over comfort?
According to information published by SamMobile on July 7, 2026, Samsung is said to be developing a new wireless headset model called Galaxy Buds On. This is just leaked information and Samsung has not officially confirmed the product's commercial name or launch date.
Images appearing in Samsung's software show that Galaxy Buds On has a clip-on design that clips onto the ear lobe instead of being inserted into the ear canal like previous Galaxy Buds lines. The two-part structure is connected by a curved bar that grips the ear, aiming for a more comfortable wearing experience over long periods of time while still allowing users to hear sounds from their surroundings.
This is a trend being pursued by many companies in the open headphone segment. Products like the Sony LinkBuds Clip, Huawei FreeClip, Motorola Moto Buds Loop, and Bose Ultra Open Earbuds all focus on comfort when exercising, traveling, or working outdoors. If Galaxy Buds On is commercialized, Samsung will officially enter this segment to compete directly with competitors already on the market.
Some reports also mention the possibility of Galaxy Buds On using sound transmission technology through the cough boneOr analog audio technology. However, this is still just leaked information and has not been confirmed by Samsung, so it cannot be considered an official specification.

It is worth noting that the product code SM-U600 is different from the SM-R convention that Samsung used for previous Galaxy Buds lines. This shows that Galaxy Buds On could be a completely new product line instead of just a successor to the current Galaxy Buds.
At the present time, there is no official information about selling price, hardware configuration, battery life or opening date. All information about Galaxy Buds On still needs to wait for Samsung to announce in upcoming product events.
