Samsung Could Soon Take on Apple and Sony with Its Own Galaxy Headphones
Code in the Galaxy Wearable app points to Samsung’s first over-ear flagship in years, with ANC, Bluetooth 6.0 and Galaxy AI support.
- Code discovered in the Galaxy Wearable app reveals Samsung is developing flagship over-ear wireless headphones codenamed 'Galaxy H1.' Companion app graphics confirm the design of Bluetooth headphones, signaling Samsung's direct entry into the premium audio market.
- Samsung has not fielded a flagship over-ear model under its primary mobile branding in years, with its last major effort, the Level Over, arriving in 2015. The company has focused recent efforts on its wireless Galaxy Buds ecosystem instead.
- Early indications suggest the headphones will feature Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 6.0, and SSC UHQ audio codec. These specifications would position the device directly against established rivals Apple and Sony in the premium segment.
- SamMobile reports a potential launch window in 2027, though Samsung has not officially confirmed the project. The company's entry into the space remains speculative, with no confirmed pricing or specifications yet available.
- Pricing strategy will likely determine market reception, with analysts suggesting Samsung could target the premium segment against Apple AirPods Max or pursue a lower price point near $300 to compete with Bose. Either approach could reshape the competitive landscape.
