30-Second Smart Briefing & Audio Digest
“Samsung is reportedly working on new Galaxy headphones, dubbed the 'Galaxy H1', which could compete with Apple's AirPods Max. The headphones are expected to launch in 2027, marking Samsung's first over-ear headphones since 2015. This move could shake up the high-end headphone market in the US, where consumers are increasingly looking for premium audio experiences. Expert Analysis: The Galaxy H1's launch could be a strategic response to Apple's dominance in the high-end headphone market, and Samsung's inclusion of its Seamless Codec Ultra High Quality (SSC UHQ) codec could provide a unique selling point for US consumers. Additionally, the Galaxy H1's support for AI assistants like Gemini and Bixby could appeal to US consumers who value seamless integration with their smartphones.”

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. 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.
