Introduction to Galaxy Buds On
Samsung has officially begun selling its latest audio accessory, the Galaxy Buds On, in South Korea, following their initial introduction in early October. Excitingly, these innovative earbuds are expected to make their way to Indonesia soon.
Open-Ear Design for Enhanced Awareness
The Galaxy Buds On features a distinctive open-ear design, allowing users to enjoy music while remaining aware of their surroundings. Unlike traditional in-ear models, these earbuds clip onto the outer ear, making them a practical choice for daily activities and sports enthusiasts.
Comfort and Sound Quality
Crafted from flexible shape-memory alloy, the earbuds are designed to adapt to the user's ear contours. Samsung has strategically positioned the speaker and battery based on various ear shapes to ensure even pressure distribution, enhancing comfort during extended use, especially during physical activities. However, the open design may compromise passive sound isolation compared to in-ear models.
Advanced Features and AI Integration
Equipped with TwinBoost Speakers, the Galaxy Buds On promises powerful bass and features automatic volume adjustments based on environmental conditions. Additionally, the earbuds include Audio Leakage Reduction technology to minimize sound leakage, although some sound may still escape at higher volumes.
Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform, the earbuds are said to provide up to 9.5 hours of music playback on a single charge. For phone calls, the Intelligent Clear Call feature utilizes three microphones and bone conduction sensors to enhance voice clarity.
A standout aspect of the Galaxy Buds On is its AI integration. Users can access Gemini Live through voice commands when connected to compatible Galaxy smartphones or tablets. Simply saying, "Hey Google, let's talk Live" allows users to ask questions or interact with the Google AI assistant hands-free.
Unique User Interaction Features
Samsung has also introduced Quick Voice Memo, enabling users to record voice notes by pressing and holding the touch area on the earbuds while speaking. These recordings can later be searched using Bixby. This feature requires compatible Galaxy AI devices and pre-set gesture settings.
Another intriguing feature is Head Gestures, which allows users to answer calls by nodding or decline them by shaking their head. Users can also check notifications and silence alarms through head movements, adding to the convenience of the earbuds.
Availability and Pricing
The Galaxy Buds On retail for 299,000 won (approximately 4 million IDR) in South Korea and are available in Black via Samsung's online store and retail outlets. Samsung is also offering a special discount coupon for accessories to consumers purchasing the earbuds within a specified period.
In Indonesia, the appearance of the Galaxy Buds On in the SDPPI database signals strong preparation for the local market. However, specific details regarding the official launch date and pricing in Indonesia remain unannounced.
