After being the subject of several rumours and reports, Samsung has finally announced its first clip-on earbuds, the Galaxy Buds On. At least in South Korea. Per its official newsroom, the new audio equipment is slated to go on sale in its home market on 27 October, with a global rollout to follow.

By this point, the series of leaks have left little room for imagination, but at the confirmation at least shed some light on additional details that we may not be familiar with. Unfortunately, the company is still withholding the detailed specs of the earphones at the time of writing.

Samsung claims that it has analysed data from different types of ears to create the form factor of the Galaxy Buds On that we see today. According to them, the buds’ unique shape can distribute pressure evenly across the ears, offering a secure fit without it falling off.
