Samsung is reportedly working on a new over-ear wireless headphone product, internally codenamed “Galaxy H1,” according to findings in code and design references inside the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app. The reports indicate Samsung is building a “proper” over-ear model after years without a widely recognized mainstream over-ear release.

The outlets frame the effort as a potential competitor to Apple’s AirPods Max, with one account also mentioning Sony’s WH-1000XM6 in the target segment. The same reporting points to features associated with premium wireless audio—such as active noise cancellation, ambient mode, and support for advanced Bluetooth audio—and suggests the headphones may include Galaxy AI integration. Another outlet cites SamMobile’s information that a launch could be planned for 2027. While both sources agree on the device working name and over-ear positioning, they differ mainly in how specific they are about expected technical details. Pricing and full specifications are not confirmed.
