They are currently sold out at major e-commerce platforms, including Samsung.com, Samsung Electronics' official online store, Coupang and Naver, and can only be purchased through preorders for later delivery. Samsung.com says deliveries will begin on a staggered basis starting Nov. 7.

The Buds On are the first in the Galaxy Buds series to feature a clip-on design that hooks over the outer ear, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. Because they do not block the ear, users can remain aware of their surroundings while listening to music. The earbuds also use shape-memory alloy that flexes to fit the shape of the ear. The product is aimed at consumers who enjoy outdoor activities such as running.

Audio features include Twin Boost speakers that enhance bass and sound-leakage reduction technology. For calls, the earbuds feature Intelligent Clear Call technology for clearer conversations.

When paired with a smartphone or tablet that supports Galaxy AI, users can access hands-free features such as voice activation of the AI assistant, head gestures and Quick Voice Memo, even when both hands are occupied. The earbuds are also compatible with accessories for the existing Galaxy Buds4 series, allowing users to use a variety of accessories.

The Galaxy Buds On are available in a single color, black, and are priced at 299,000 won.
