Samsung's first clip-style earbuds, the Galaxy Buds On, reach U.S. stores Nov. 6 for $229. They are built to keep your ears open to the world around you.
Samsung's first clip-style wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds On, go on sale in the U.S. on Nov. 6 for $229. They already launched in South Korea earlier this month. Clip-style earbuds have an open design, so you can still hear traffic and people around you while music plays.
The earbuds use a C-shaped design, similar to other clip-on pairs. Open earbuds usually struggle with bass, so the two woofers are the part to watch.
The details come from Samsung, and the reviewer at Gizmodo has not tested the earbuds. Comfort and volume will decide whether they are worth buying. It is also unclear how the bass holds up in real use. Samsung faces plenty of competition in this category, so the $229 price will be compared with other clip-on options before anyone buys.
If you want earbuds that keep you aware of your surroundings, the $229 Galaxy Buds On are one more option, but wait for hands-on reviews of comfort and sound.
