Samsung's headphones have failed to set the world alight, but now the brand could be taking a different tack. According to one leak, the firm will release its first pair of bone conduction headphones this summer.

Samsung is well known for trying new things in the earbuds space. There where the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live for one, those shiny bean shaped things that neither sounded good nor fitted very well. Now there're rumblings that the firm wants to try a different form of uninvasive audio on your head — bone conduction headphones.

The rumor comes from noted leaker Ice Universe on Weibo, the Chinese social media site. Per the post (translated by Google Translate), Ice Universe says that “Samsung Electronics MX division will release bone conductive headphones at the Samsung Fold conference in July.”

The information comes from prolific tipster Ice Universe, who claims that the rumored device will feature an Open Wireless Stereo design, unlike the Galaxy Buds. This

Industry insiders just claimed that Samsung could announce its first ever open-air bone conducting audio device at the Samsung Unpacked event in July.

The brand also showcased a slim phone called the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge at that event, which is slated to be launched in the coming months. There's also word of a new foldable phone called the Samsung Galaxy G Fold launching later in the summer.

A report says Samsung is looking to launch open-ear wireless earphones to join its growing Galaxy Buds collection.
