hello. This is Technologytodaynow. There is news about the new Galaxy Buds, which are expected to be released in July this year, so I would like to learn more in this post.
Galaxy Buds are being developed in the form of bone conduction earphones
In July, Samsung Electronics is expected to introduce a new type of Galaxy Buds at the Galaxy One-Pack event for the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. According to IT tipster Ice Universe’s Weibo, Samsung Electronics is developing bone conduction earphones codenamed ‘Able.’
Most of the Galaxy Buds released so far have been kernel-type earphones with silicon ear tips, and there have also been open-type earphones such as the Galaxy Buds Live 3. The new type of earphone, codenamed ‘Able’, is said to have been designed to deliver sound around the ear without being plugged directly into the ear unlike before.
Characteristics of Bone Conductivity Earphones
In particular, bone conduction earphones transmit sound through bones, and are the first product to be released by Samsung Electronics. Since bone conduction earphones do not block the ears, you can hear surrounding sounds well, and they are mainly suitable for activities that require awareness of the surroundings, such as running or cycling. In addition, models with a waterproof function can be used while swimming. For those who are sensitive to otitis externa, there is also the advantage of not having to worry about moisture because the ears are completely open.
a production plan
Samsung Electronics seems to be planning to produce bone conduction earphones in significant quantities this time. According to a report by the Seoul Economic Daily, about 1.7 million units are expected to be produced this year, which is about 15 percent of the total earbuds in the MX division.
In addition, the second-generation model of the Galaxy Buds Pen Edition will also be unveiled along with bone conduction earphones.
New Galaxy Buds Forecast
And when you think of bone conduction earphones, you usually think of Sakz’s open-run products, but expensive bone conduction earphones do not necessarily have good sound quality, so it seems that inexpensive products sold at Ali are also being used a lot these days. The Galaxy Buds series are sold at a high cost-effectiveness due to many discounts, so if this bone conduction earphone is also cost-effective, it is expected that many users will be in Korea.
One question I have is about the shape of bone conduction earphones. I don’t have any information on what form the product will be released in yet, so I’m very curious to know if it will come out as an earphone that is divided into two units or as a headphone that is integrated into one.
