Samsung Signals First Clip-On Galaxy Earbuds in App Leak

An internal Galaxy Wearable app update and an Indian certification point to a clip-on, open-ear model that could move the form factor into Samsung’s core Galaxy line.

Overview

  • An update to Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app, which surfaced Monday, exposed an internal product name 'Galaxy Able' alongside references to new Galaxy Watch models.
  • A Bureau of Indian Standards listing registered a battery number EB-BU600AAY tied to model SM-U600, giving independent regulatory support to the leaked app references.
  • Leaks and images describe an outer-ear clip design rather than in‑ear tips and multiple outlets report industry sources saying the hardware may use bone‑conduction or similar open‑ear audio methods.
  • Naming remains unsettled because tipsters propose the retail brand could be 'Galaxy Buds On' while app code uses 'Galaxy Able', and the SM‑U600 model series differs from the SM‑Rxx numbers used by past Galaxy Buds.
  • If Samsung launches clip‑on earbuds under the Galaxy umbrella it could broaden mainstream awareness of open‑ear audio and offer users a comfortable option that preserves ambient sound for outdoor and active use.
