Samsung Galaxy Buds On tipped for December global launch

Samsung's Galaxy Buds On have appeared on several European retailer websites and may reach stores in the first half of December, SammyGuru reported.

Swiss listings show prices of CHF 179 to CHF 199, which the report converts directly to roughly $217 to $241; the lower figure likely reflects a discount and the higher figure may be the recommended retail price.

Samsung priced the Galaxy Buds On at 299,000 won for South Korea, a direct conversion of about $226.

There is no official confirmation of releases outside South Korea. Media coverage has suggested a US launch could also occur in December, with a likely US price of $199 if Samsung offers the earbuds there.

Reddit users responded to the open-ear design, but many commenters said they preferred previous models such as the Galaxy Buds Live, which launched in 2020 and has not received a sequel.

Two 360-degree animations shared by The Cipher Project show the earbuds and their charging case in detail. The case uses a cube-like form with rounded corners, similar to Galaxy Buds 4-series cases, and provides space for the Buds On curved band; the lid appears transparent.

No official global launch date or US retail listings have been confirmed by Samsung.
