Samsung launched its Galaxy Buds On in the US on November 6 for $229, marking the debut of the company's first clip-on earbuds in the country. The open-ear design allows users to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to audio, making them suitable for commuters, office workers, and those who prefer constant awareness.
The C-shaped earbuds weigh 6.65 grams each and feature an 11.3 mm "TwinBoost" speaker with dual woofers and a Class-D amplifier, delivering up to 9.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge. The Buds On also support voice commands for Google's Gemini Live and include a charging case that provides an additional 38 hours of listening time.
With an IP54 rating for dust and light rain resistance, the earbuds and case lack water resistance. The launch of the Galaxy Buds On signals Samsung's shift towards modular wearable habits, positioning them as a daytime alternative to their sealed Galaxy Buds Pro lineup.
