Samsung's New Earbuds Leak: Open-Ear Design Incoming?
22 Apr
Summary
- Samsung is reportedly developing new open-ear earbuds.
- The leaked design suggests a clip-on style, not bone conduction.
- These could launch alongside new Galaxy Fold phones in July.
Samsung is reportedly developing its own open-ear earbuds, potentially named the Galaxy Buds Able. This potential release comes as many audio brands, including Sony and Bose, have launched similar products in early 2026. The leaked design, discovered in Samsung's firmware on April 20, suggests a clip-on style rather than a bone conduction model. This clip-on design means the earbuds will cuff the ear and use air conduction to transmit sound, similar to popular models from Bose and Sony.
The rumor of Samsung's entry into the open-earbud space isn't entirely new, with earlier reports suggesting a bone conduction model. However, the latest leak points towards a different approach. This announcement could coincide with the rumored July launch of new Galaxy Fold phones, as Samsung's recent Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro were released earlier than expected in February, potentially freeing up the summer event for other devices.
