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.
Samsung has new Galaxy headphones in the works
The first new Samsung headphones in a decade could go up against Apple’s AirPods Max next year.
Connection status icons in the app standard show the design of over-ear, wireless Bluetooth headphones, but not necessarily exactly what these will look like in the end. Samsung’s main audio device right now is its Galaxy Buds line, but it doesn’t have high-end headphones similar to the AirPods Max or Sony XM series.
