Samsung Galaxy Buds On Will Cost $229 in the US, With Europe Launching in 2027

Samsung has revealed US pricing and availability for the Galaxy Buds On, its first open earbuds. The clip-on earbuds will go on sale in the US in early November for $229.

Buyers in Europe, including the UK, are expected to wait until 2027. Samsung has not announced an Australian release date. The company first unveiled the earbuds for the Korean market at the start of the month.

The $229 price puts the Galaxy Buds On close to some premium open-ear models. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 4 launched for $179, while the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro debuted at $249. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) cost $299, and the Sony LinkBuds Clip also cost $229.

TechRadar’s Tom Bedford notes that many open earbuds cost less, and says the price is higher than he expected. He argues that the design and feature differences between models can make it difficult to justify paying a premium. The article does not report a price for the Galaxy Buds On outside the US.
