Why it matters
This marks Samsung's re-entry into the premium over-ear audio market, signaling a strategic push to integrate its proprietary audio codecs and AI assistants into a high-end hardware ecosystem.
Strings of code in Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app hint at an upcoming pair of over-ear headphones that could compete with the AirPods Max, SamMobile reports. Samsung’s reportedly referring to the headphones as the “Galaxy H1,” and SamMobile says they could launch sometime in 2027. That would make these the company’s first pair of over-ear headphones since the Level On in 2015, which was released well before Samsung acquired Harman and a number of other audio brands.
