For years, Bluetooth dominated the wireless sound world, with almost every brand that offers earphones or headphones you use. But now, Samsung seems to be looking for a wide range technology (UWB) for its future headphones.
Samsung Recently, a patent in the United States has been hinted at a new way to wirelessly transmit sound using UWB. According to the details, the process still begins with bluetooth, which is used to create a connection between the host device and the first ear layer.
After that, the first earphones move to the UWB connection, with the second ear invitation. In short, UWB takes care of the sound transmits, while Bluetooth holds the connection settings and manages control data. It is an interesting mix of both techniques working together.

So why is UWB a better option for Bluetooth headphones? For beginners, UWB can reduce overlap and cumin, providing a smoother experience. In addition, it supports the transmission of data faster (thinking about up to 20 Mbps), which may also mean using less energy. Until Samsung claims that this top speed can allow the sound delivery without losing. These privileges will definitely raise matters compared to normal bluetooth, which makes future galaxy buds more impressive. But of course, it should be noted that the device that marries (whether it is a smartphone, a laptop, a tablet or a smart watch) will also need UWB.UW support mostly booked for tools such as smartphones, tracking marks, and AirPods (only the case only And not earphones), and some smart watches. To date, it has been used for things like finding missing devices, opening doors or controlling smart home settings. Its use of wireless sound? This is a completely new ball game.
hunting? UWB is not completely prevalent yet. It was mostly found at the end of the party Android phones, and even models such as the latest base Pixel 9 or Galaxy S25 does not include it. If Samsung has launched the Galaxy buds that got rid of the Bluetooth to UWB, I think this may mean two things: Either you start more smartphones in UWB support, or these earphones will be marketed as a distinct option for high -end devices.
Of course, let’s do not advance ourselves – just because there is a patent that does not mean that it will actually become a real product. Many patents remain that – ideas on paper. I think we will discover soon enough.
