Samsung is silently working on open-ear earbuds, reportedly called the Galaxy Buds Able/Buds On. While it was initially believed that the earbuds may debut at the upcoming Unpacked event, it’s unlikely. We’ll only be witnessing the new foldables and smartwatches at the event. It looks like the suspense may be ending soon. A new report has now revealed the Samsung Galaxy Buds Able’s launch timeline, but not the exact date.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Able may launch in Q4 2026 with an open-ear design
ETNews reports that Samsung has pushed back the launch to Q4 2026, as it continues to fine-tune the earbuds. Although the exact date is not available yet, Samsung Galaxy Buds Able/On may launch between September and October, as per the report. Considering the launch timeline is accurate, it’ll give the earbuds their own stage rather than sharing the attention with other announcements.Â
This could also give the tech giant a chance to talk in detail about the new category. We might learn why this exists and how it fits the ecosystem. The Galaxy Buds Able/On will reportedly feature an open-ear, clip-on design that wraps around the outer area. Unlike the regular Galaxy Buds that have an in-ear style design, this will enable users to hear conversations and other sounds like traffic while continuing to listen to audio.

Focus could be on comfort
While the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro focus on premium features like noise cancellation and an immersive audio experience, the Galaxy Buds Able/On appear to be more about comfort even after wearing for long periods. For now, the October launch timeline looks most likely, but it’s worth noting that Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed anything. So do take this with a pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will introduce the Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 wearables. This year’s focus will reportedly be on health and fitness features. We’ve already shared how they’d look and the color options through render images. We’ll also witness the unveiling of a new wide-screen foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, alongside the Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8.
