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.
