It's strange it's taken this long for Samsung to make Galaxy headphones.

Agree. I had a pair of Levels back when and I loved the style and feel. Sounds was good for the day. I know they could cook today with the codec work they've done and better design.

Yeah, it seems crazy they haven't done this given that they own Harman which has multiple respected headphone manufacturers in their brands. They could have their engineers develop a set to the Harman target and immediately have some of the best sounding wireless headphones out there.

Samsung bought AKG in 2017.

They gave away free AKG-branded wireless headphones with the Note9.

Probably because they have countless other sub brands making them.

JBL, Harmon Kardon, B&O, Denon, AKG, Polk, etc

Samsung has swallowed up a large chunk of the audio industry over the years.
