Samsung Rumored to Introduce Bone-Conducting Earphones at July Event
The earphones, codenamed 'Able,' are expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and feature open-ear designs for safer listening.
- Samsung is reportedly developing its first bone-conduction earphones, which may launch at the Unpacked event in July.
- The earphones, internally codenamed 'Able,' are designed to transmit sound through the skull or around the ear without entering the ear canal.
- This technology aims to improve safety for outdoor activities like running or cycling by allowing users to hear ambient sounds such as traffic or warnings.
- Approximately 1.7 million units are expected to be manufactured in 2025, representing 15% of Samsung's total earphone shipments for the year.
- Details on pricing, design, and availability remain unclear, but leaks suggest Samsung could be targeting the niche bone-conduction market dominated by brands like Shokz and Philips.
