At the beginning of this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on TWS, Galaxy Buds On, designed for clear audio and intuitive AI experiences. The Galaxy Buds On are now made available in the US market.
Galaxy Buds On: Pricing
The clip-on TWS will be available in Black for $229 in the US beginning in early November 2026.
Galaxy Buds On: Features
Galaxy Buds On features a clip-on design with a band crafted to balance a secure fit and comfortable wear throughout daily routines. Samsung used AI-assisted optimisations and physics simulations to refine the design for a diverse range of ear shapes.
Computational modeling helped optimise speaker and battery geometry to create a low-pressure fit around the ear, while refining the stiffness and shape of the band for a secure, comfortable fit. Each earbud weighs 6.65g. The earbuds offer up to 9.5 hours of music playback on a single charge and up to 38 hours in total with the charging case.
A TwinBoost Speaker, paired with automatic volume adjustment based on surrounding noise, enables rich audio in both indoor and outdoor settings. Samsung’s Audio Leakage Reduction technology reduces escaping sound before it travels outward by projecting reversed sound waves from the rear of the speaker. Galaxy Buds On is powered by the Snapdragon® S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform and comes with a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier intricately designed to optimise power consumption.
It is equipped with three mics and a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU), a vibration sensor that detects when the user is speaking based on bone and skin movement. Intelligent Clear Call helps isolate the user’s voice and remove noise when they are not talking.
Samsung integrates Galaxy Buds On with the Galaxy smartphone and AI ecosystem. Gemini Live, Quick Voice Memo, Bixby and Head Gestures further enhance the user experience.
