Here’s a look at what the rumored Galaxy Buds On from Samsung might resemble.
Renders of the clip-on earbuds have emerged in a Samsung app, providing the clearest view of their design to date.
Rumors regarding Samsung's clip-on Galaxy Buds Able have been circulating for several months, with many anticipating their launch alongside the company's latest foldable devices. However, at Samsung’s July Unpacked event, there was no mention of the clip-on earbuds. A recent leak indicates that they are still in development and offers the most detailed glimpse of their design.
What the images disclose
The new design first appeared in April, when leaked icons from One UI firmware hinted at an earclip-style shape that deviates from Samsung’s typical in-ear design. The following month, a report elaborated, describing earbuds that clip on and allow for an open-ear fit, attaching to the outer ear.
Renders of these Galaxy Buds Able or Galaxy Buds On have now appeared in a Samsung app (via SamMobile). The visuals suggest that the earbuds may feature a curved clip that envelops the outer ear, connecting a rounded module near the ear canal to a flatter, disc-shaped portion that rests behind the ear to secure the piece. The renders also depict a corresponding case with a front LED indicator.
This design implies that the Galaxy Buds On might utilize open wireless stereo technology, akin to Motorola’s Moto Buds Loop, Huawei’s FreeClip, and Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds, which employ standard drivers positioned outside the ear canal.
Samsung has yet to confirm anything
To date, Samsung has remained silent regarding the Buds On or Buds Able. Details about specifications, pricing, or a release date have not been revealed. However, a separate leak suggests the earbuds might launch in the fourth quarter, so additional information is expected in the near future.
If the leak is accurate, Samsung would make its debut in a increasingly competitive market, joining companies like Motorola, Huawei, and Bose, which believe that some consumers prioritize awareness over isolation.

Sony is preparing to introduce two new budget headphones with more color choices
Sony seems to be getting ready to refresh two of its affordable headphone series, as newly uncovered import documents indicate possible successors to the WH-CH720N and WH-CH520. Although the company has not yet officially announced this, the documents provide an early insight into model names and potential color options, suggesting that Sony's entry-level audio lineup may soon see its first significant update in several years. This leak follows reports that Sony is also developing a new color variation of its flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones. This time, however, the focus is on products designed for a wider audience, where affordability is often as crucial as features.

HBO Max is adopting a popular TikTok feature to enhance content discovery
Streaming platforms face a major discovery challenge: people are increasingly using TikTok to find what to watch. HBO Max's solution is to incorporate that endless-scroll experience into its app.
So, what is HBO Max Shorts?
TCL has created a 22-speaker soundbar for transforming living rooms into theaters, but it's excluding the US market.
Here's what to expect from TCL's new flagship Q95K soundbar, featuring Bang & Olufsen tuning and 360-degree sound technology.
Having tried various soundbars, I am often skeptical of "360-degree audio" claims, viewing them as marketing hype rather than genuine innovation. However, TCL's new flagship soundbar may have the actual hardware to support its claims this time. The Q95K features an 11.1.4 channel Hi-Fi setup and has been engineered in cooperation with Bang & Olufsen. In my opinion, it represents a serious effort to compete with high-end home theater systems.
