Code strings in Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app hint at a new pair of over-ear Bluetooth headphones codenamed "Galaxy H1," potentially launching in 2027. If true, these would be Samsung's first over-ear headphones since the Level On in 2015, positioning them as direct competitors to Apple's AirPods Max.
Background
Samsung acquired Harman International in 2017, gaining audio brands like Harman Kardon and JBL, but has not yet released its own over-ear headphones under the Galaxy brand. The AirPods Max has dominated the premium over-ear headphone space since its 2020 launch.
