Samsung is bringing a new kind of earbud to the U.S. In a press release today, the company announced Galaxy Buds On, clip-on earbuds that rest on your ear instead of inside it. They cost $229, come in black, and go on sale in early November.

Nothing plugs into your ear canal, so you can still hear traffic, coworkers or the doorbell while music plays. Samsung says that’s the point, especially for outdoor running.

How the Clip-On Design Works

Each earbud has a band that clips around the ear. Samsung says it studied more than 119 million ear measurements to shape the band. Each earbud weighs 6.65 grams, about the weight of six paper clips.

The earbuds last up to 9.5 hours of music on one charge. The slim case brings the total to 38 hours. For calls, that’s up to 5.5 hours, or 25 with the case. Those numbers come from Samsung’s own testing, so real-world battery life will vary.…
