Samsung’s first over-ear headphones in more than a decade might finally have a name

TL;DR

Samsung’s upcoming over-ear headphones could launch under the Galaxy Studio name, according to a new leak.
The source previously leaked the Galaxy Buds On name early in its development cycle, lending credibility to the latest claim.
Galaxy Studio could take on premium headphones like Apple’s AirPods Max, though pricing, features, and availability remain unknown.

Samsung’s definitely not the first name that comes to mind when you think of over-ear headphones, but the company isn’t a complete stranger to the product category either. Unlike Nothing, which just entered the over-ear headphone market last year, Samsung has released headphones in the past, including the Level Over and Level On. That was all the way back in 2015, and now, a decade later, the South Korean tech giant appears to be gearing up for another shot at the category with a different naming scheme.

We first heard about Samsung’s reinvigorated interest in the over-ear headphone market back in August via code strings, an internal codename, and in-app graphics. If at the time you presumed that Samsung would go with its “Level” branding, you’d have made a well-educated guess. Based on what we’re hearing now, though, Samsung seems to have something entirely different in mind.
