Samsung has developed a new waterproof membrane for earbud speakers. This innovation aims to protect audio components from moisture and sweat without hurting sound quality. The company says the membrane uses a special material that blocks water but lets sound pass through clearly.

The new membrane is thin and strong. It fits inside earbuds where speakers are most exposed to damage. Samsung tested it under tough conditions, including heavy rain and intense workouts. In all cases, the speakers kept working well and sounded clear.
This technology comes as more people use earbuds during exercise or in wet weather. Existing waterproofing methods often reduce audio performance or add bulk. Samsung’s solution avoids both problems. It keeps earbuds small and light while offering better protection.
Engineers at Samsung spent over two years creating and refining the membrane. They tried many materials before finding one that met all requirements. The final version resists water, dust, and everyday wear. It also lasts longer than older types of protection.
Samsung plans to include this membrane in its next generation of Galaxy Buds. The feature will be available in models launching later this year. Users can expect the same high-quality sound they know, now with added durability.
