The earbuds are expected to clip around your ear rather than seal into it

What to know

Samsung's Galaxy Buds On appear to clip around the outer ear instead of sitting in the ear canal, SamMobile reported in July 2026, based on images from a Samsung app.

SammyGuru later published pictures showing a flat end that clips onto the outside of the ear, with a curved touch surface. The open design leaves your ear uncovered, so you hear the world around you without a special listening mode.

Samsung has not announced the earbuds or said when they will come out.
