Samsung Galaxy Buds On (South Korea)

Samsung's first clip-style open-ear Galaxy Buds went on sale in South Korea on Oct 27 for 299,000 won; other markets come later.

Samsung says the Galaxy Buds On rest on the ear without blocking the canal, with Twin Boost speakers, sound-leakage reduction, automatic volume adjustment, three mics plus a bone-conduction sensor for calls, head-gesture control and up to 9.5 hours of playback. Korea gets one black model. Samsung has not set dates for other markets; European retail listings reported by Android Authority hint at the first half of December, which is unconfirmed. Update Oct 27: sales started on schedule via Samsung.com, online marketplaces and Samsung Stores; buyers through Nov 30 get two 30%-off accessory coupons. Update Oct 28: Samsung announced US availability in early November at $229 (black only); see the separate US entry.
