## Summary

Samsung launches the Galaxy Buds On in the US, a clip-style open-ear earbud with Gemini Live summoning and head-gesture call control. The earbuds offer SSC and SSC UHQ codecs up to 24-bit/96kHz on compatible Galaxy devices, up to 9.5 hours of playback plus 38 hours from the case, and an IP54 rating. Their IP54 rating is stronger than Bose's IPX4 Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) but weaker than Shokz's IP57 Open Dots 2.
