Samsung appears to be developing a new pair of over-ear headphones, according to recent findings within the company's software ecosystem. Strings of code discovered in the latest version of the Galaxy Wearable app suggest that the tech giant is working on a device currently referred to as the 'Galaxy H1.'
Industry analysts note that this development could signal Samsung's intent to enter the premium over-ear headphone market, potentially positioning the product as a competitor to established devices like Apple's AirPods Max. While the company has previously focused on in-ear buds, an over-ear model would represent a significant expansion of their audio hardware portfolio.
According to reports from SamMobile, the internal code suggests a potential launch window as far out as 2027. As is common with early-stage software leaks, these details remain unconfirmed by Samsung, and the company has not yet provided an official timeline or technical specifications for the project. If brought to market, the Galaxy H1 would mark the first time Samsung has offered an over-ear headphone option under the Galaxy brand.
The report is based on internal code findings within Samsung's own software, which is a standard method for identifying upcoming product development. While Samsung has not officially confirmed the device, the report from The Verge and SamMobile is consistent with industry practices for tracking unreleased hardware.
