Samsung's SM-U700 over-ear headphones surfaced in an FCC filing, with test documents listing Black and Beige colors and a label confirming 5W charging. The headphones may launch under the Galaxy Studio name, though Samsung has not announced a release date or price.
Why it matters
The FCC filing indicates the headphones have cleared a key regulatory step for the U.S. market, which typically precedes a commercial launch. Samsung's device has also received approvals in many other regions, suggesting a broad rollout is being prepared.
The regulatory test report and enlarged label confirm 5W charging and two color options, Black and Beige. Samsung has not said whether these specifications will carry into the final retail product.
The players
Samsung
Samsung is a South Korean electronics manufacturer best known for its Galaxy smartphones, televisions, and consumer audio products.
The details
The photograph in the filing shows part of the dark headband and indicates where Samsung plans to place its regulatory label.

Timeline
Filing details surfaced in an article published November 5, 2026.
The Tech Race
Samsung's Galaxy Buds line established the company's position in wireless earbuds, and the SM-U700 extends that Galaxy audio strategy into over-ear headphones. The move places Samsung in more direct competition with established over-ear makers such as Sony and Bose in the premium headphone segment.
If Samsung launches the SM-U700 with the features described, buyers could get head tracking for 360 Audio, Active Noise Cancellation, and touch controls in an over-ear design. Pricing and availability remain unannounced, so buyers should wait for Samsung's official listing before budgeting for the headphones.
The takeaway
Regulatory filings such as this one often provide an early look at upcoming hardware, but final specifications, pricing, and release timing can still change before launch. Readers interested in the headphones should watch for Samsung's official announcement.
