Samsung has new Galaxy headphones in the works
Samsung is reportedly developing its first over-ear Galaxy headphones in more than a decade, potentially positioning them against premium rivals such as Apple’s AirPods Max and Sony’s XM range. If released, the Galaxy H1 would expand Samsung’s audio line beyond Galaxy Buds and give it a presence in the high-end wireless headphone market.
Code found in Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app reportedly refers to the product as the Galaxy H1, with a possible launch in 2027. The icons indicate Bluetooth over-ear headphones, although their final design is unknown; expected features could include Samsung’s SSC UHQ codec for newer Galaxy devices and AI assistant support for Gemini and Bixby.
- Samsung may launch premium Galaxy H1 over-ear headphones in 2027.
- They would be Samsung’s first over-ear headphones since 2015.
- Expected features include Samsung audio codec and AI assistant support.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds are wireless earphones, while over-ear headphones sit around the ears and are often sold as premium options for listening at home or on the move. Samsung has not made a new over-ear Galaxy model for more than a decade, so a return would broaden its audio range.
Apple and Sony already sell well-known high-end wireless headphones, and Samsung’s product could compete in the same market. Its importance would depend on details such as sound quality, device compatibility and price, which have not been confirmed.
