Samsung is reportedly developing a new pair of over-ear headphones, tentatively named the 'Galaxy H1,' which could be released in 2027. This would mark the company's first foray into the over-ear headphone market since 2015, when it launched the Level On model. The new headphones are expected to compete with high-end models like Apple's AirPods Max.

The Galaxy H1 is anticipated to feature advanced audio capabilities, including the Samsung Seamless Codec Ultra High Quality (SSC UHQ) codec, and support for AI assistants. This development indicates Samsung's intent to expand its audio product lineup beyond its current Galaxy Buds offerings.

As Samsung prepares to enter the over-ear headphone market, keep an eye on how the Galaxy H1's features stack up against competitors like the AirPods Max 2. Watch for potential partnerships or software updates that could enhance its integration with Galaxy devices.
