Samsung Is Finally Engaged on the One Audio Product It’s Lacking

When it involves audio, Samsung just about does all of it. It’s received wi-fi earbuds, in fact (with and with out ideas), speakers (even Wi-Fi ones), and soundbars. It even has the Music Frame, an image body that additionally performs music, as a result of why not? If there’s one obvious omission on this lineup, although, it’s wi-fi headphones—a class that, if current leaks are something to go by, it might not be absent from for very lengthy.

According to SamMobile, Samsung is engaged on a pair of wi-fi headphones, and the proof has turned up in strings of code noticed inside its Galaxy Wearable app. The inner title, seen by SamMobile, is seemingly the Galaxy H1, and there are some illustrations to go together with these hints. Clearly, given the existence of app assist, these are going to be Bluetooth headphones and never wired.

Other than that, there’s not a lot to go off of but, however as SamMobile notes, given the dearth of data, they may very well be somewhat methods from launch—maybe in some unspecified time in the future in 2027.

Though Samsung hasn’t been within the wi-fi headphones sport for a while, it has had pairs previously, together with the Level Over, launched over 10 years in the past, all the way in which again in 2015. That pair had lively noise cancellation (ANC) and a 15-hour battery life. It additionally had NFC pairing, which isn’t one thing you see anymore.

Clearly, it’s been some time for Samsung, and the query is what alternative it sees within the wi-fi headphones area in 2026—or I suppose 2027. Does it go ultra-premium to compete with Apple’s AirPods Max 2, which price an eye-watering $550? Or does it attempt to undercut the Apple premium with a pair of wi-fi headphones that fall extra in keeping with Bose’s $300 QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) or the $300 Nothing Headphone 1?

For now, it’s all hypothesis, however I’m glad Samsung is seemingly getting again into wi-fi headphones. If its new pair is as strong because the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, we’ll be in good condition.
