TL;DR
- A report from South Korea corroborates that Samsung is developing the Galaxy Buds Able, featuring a clip-style design that hooks onto the ear without blocking the ear canal.
- The upcoming earbuds will utilize air-conduction technology rather than bone-conduction, offering ambient awareness, reduced ear strain, and better ear hygiene without sacrificing sound quality.
- This would mark Samsung’s return to open-ear audio (following the older, bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live) to compete with existing options from HUAWEI, Bose, Sony, and Anker.
Last month, we spotted references to a new unannounced Samsung device called “Galaxy Buds Able.” Later, a leaked render gave us our first look at the design, suggesting this could be an open-ear, clip-like pair of earbuds. Now, a report from Korea suggests Samsung is indeed preparing to launch its first clip-style open-ear earbuds.
As per South Korea’s ETNews, citing industry sources, Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Buds Able, an open-type wireless earbud that does not block the ears. These earbuds will feature a clip-type design that hooks onto the ear, allowing users to listen to music and make calls while hearing the sounds around them, as their ear canal will not be blocked.
