- Code discovered in the Galaxy Wearable app reveals Samsung is developing flagship over-ear wireless headphones codenamed “Galaxy H1”.
- Expected to launch in early 2027, the headphones will likely feature ANC, Bluetooth 6.0, SSC UHQ audio, and Galaxy AI integration.
- The move marks Samsung’s first direct challenge under its primary mobile brand to Apple’s AirPods Max and Sony’s over-ear lineup.
Audio headlines have been full of nostalgia lately, especially with recent reports suggesting Sony’s classic WH-1000XM4 could make a comeback, coupled with the arrival of a new WH-1000XM6 color. Google also played it safe at the latest Pixel 11 hardware showcase, settling for a fresh coat on existing earbuds rather than swinging for ambitious new form factors. But while rivals rehash legacy designs or stick to modest incremental tweaks, Samsung seems ready to make a bold, unexpected play in the premium over-ear audio space.
According to SamMobile, code strings hidden inside the latest Galaxy Wearable app reveal that Samsung is actively developing full-sized wireless headphones internally codenamed “Galaxy H1”. While Samsung has spent recent years heavily refining its true wireless Galaxy Buds ecosystem, it hasn’t fielded a proper over-ear flagship under its primary mobile branding in ages.
