Samsung’s New Over-Ear Headphones Arrive So Late They Might Be Wireless Time Travelers
KEY POINTS
- •Samsung revealed code in its Galaxy Wearable app hinting at new over-ear headphones, dubbed Galaxy H1.
- •The headphones could launch as late as 2027, marking Samsung's first over-ear offering since 2015’s Level On Pro.
- •This follows Samsung's 2016 acquisition of audio brand powerhouse Harman, signifying a long, slow headphone resurrection.
After a mere six-year headphone vacation, Samsung is finally teasing an over-ear comeback slated for 2027—just in time to battle Apple’s cult-level AirPods Max rivalry. Dubbed the Galaxy H1, these mythical cans are hinted at through mysterious 'strings of code' buried in Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app, which sounds like the tech version of archaeologists finding ancient hieroglyphics. Since their last over-ear, the 2015 Level On Pro—which debuted before Samsung bought Harman, the audio brand empire—they've been quietly lurking in wireless wraith mode. 2027 launch means we can expect either breakthrough audio or groundbreaking forgetfulness.
