Samsung looks like it’s finally ready to jump back into the over-ear headphone market after more than a decade away. A fresh leak points to a new product called Galaxy Studio that’s expected to go head-to-head with Apple’s AirPods Max when it eventually shows up.
The name dropped on X on October 8 from tipster @evowizz. This isn’t one of the biggest names in the leak world, but the account did correctly call Samsung’s first clip-on earbuds as the Galaxy Buds On before they were officially announced.
Samsung’s last real shot at mainstream over-ear headphones was the Level Over and Level On back in 2015. If Galaxy Studio is real, it’ll be the company’s first serious return to the category since then. Hints of the project actually started floating around in August 2026 through software code strings, internal codenames (including Galaxy H1), and graphics buried inside Samsung’s companion apps. Those early clues already pointed to a wireless over-ear design.
We still don’t have many solid details. What we do know is that these are expected to sit at the top of Samsung’s Galaxy audio lineup, which has mostly focused on in-ear and open-ear Buds so far. The “Studio” name suggests they’re aiming for higher-end sound and features to compete with the likes of Apple’s AirPods Max, Sony’s WH-1000XM series, and Bose’s QuietComfort line.
Some reports are floating the idea of an early 2027 debut, possibly alongside the Galaxy S27 series. One thing that feels pretty safe to expect is tight integration with the rest of the Galaxy ecosystem, including seamless pairing with phones, tablets, and other Samsung devices.
If the leak holds up, Galaxy Studio would give Samsung a proper full-size wireless option for longer listening sessions and expand its audio lineup beyond just earbuds.
