For a while now, there's been talk about Samsung exploring a different kind of earbud design. Specifically, the rumors suggested a new 'clip-on' form factor for their upcoming Galaxy Buds. While this design isn't entirely new in the world of audio and has been adopted by some of Samsung's competitors, it's definitely a first for Samsung's popular Galaxy Buds line.
There was a bit of a mystery around what these new earbuds would be called. At one point, we heard the name Galaxy Buds Able circulating. However, more recently, the name Galaxy Buds On has gained traction, with 'Able' now thought to be just a codename used during development. So, for now, we're sticking with Galaxy Buds On.
The exciting part today is that a new leak has finally shown us what these rumored earbuds actually look like. These aren't just guesses; the images come from illustrations believed to originate directly from an unnamed Samsung app.
So, what do they look like? Unlike the current Galaxy Buds that fit snugly inside your ear canal or have a small wingtip, these new Galaxy Buds On feature a distinct clip-on design. Imagine an earbud that doesn't push deep into your ear but instead clips securely around a part of your outer ear. This could offer a completely different comfort level, especially for people who find traditional in-ear buds uncomfortable after extended use or those who need something more stable during workouts. It's a noticeable departure from Samsung's usual earbud aesthetics, potentially offering more versatility and appeal to a wider range of users looking for a new way to enjoy their audio.
