Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Could Come With Wireless Headphones, But Will Also Have The Jack…

It was previously rumored that Samsung would be announcing an AirPods competitor with the announcement of their next flagship, the Galaxy S8.

Looking at the renders of the upcoming Galaxy S8 though, we’re delighted to see that Samsung has retained the 3.5 mm headphone jack (unlike Apple, in their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus), giving users the option to adopt a wired or wireless headphone setup — whichever one suits them.

As far as the wireless headphones go, the company could be prepping a product to go with the Galaxy S8 announcement, however no one’s really sure if Samsung’s product will be competing against Apple’s AirPods.

These headphones are expected to feature active noise canceling technology, which is always a welcome feature when you want to experience nothing but the audio pulsating in your ears.

They earphones are expected to come in Black, Green, Red and Silver colours, providing users a whole palette to chose from, a choice Apple users do not have.

Unfortunately, these premium wireless headphones might also carry an expensive price tag, as they are expected to retail for 130 Euros, which translates into nearly USD 140 (~ INR 9,000)! Yet, that’s still cheaper than what the AirPods are currently retailing for.

Samsung may incorporate its own technology, that should help with mundane things like proximity-based pairing, as well as the activation/deactivation of the earphones depending on whether they’re in use or not.

The Galaxy S8 is expected to be introduced to the world on March 29, so we’re excited to hear of another product that’s going to be showcased with the flagship.

For now, take this info with a pinch of salt; you cannot believe everything that you hear, but we’ll keep you updated regardless.
