One of the most striking products that Apple has presented in recent times are the AirPods, wireless Bluetooth headphones that adapt perfectly to the design of the company's previous headphones. Well now Samsung seems to have its own AirPods almost ready, which will be launched next to Samsung Galaxy S8.
The AirPods of the Samsung Galaxy S8
Apple presented the AirPods as a product very similar to the EarPods, with the same design, but wireless, without cable. Different software and hardware problems have caused the launch of the headphones to be delayed, although now they are already on the market, with a price of about 180 euros. A very expensive price that will make a product that iPhone users like very much can not get. And of course, Samsung had to respond to Apple with a very similar product. And it seems that next to Samsung Galaxy S8 to launch wireless headphones, also small in size, and very similar to these AirPods. It is not clear if these headphones will be sold separately, if they will be included together with the smartphone, which would be great but seems impossible, nor the price that they could have.
No jack
Keep in mind that Samsung could have already taken many steps to consider this launch. This is the case, for example, of the fact that remove headphone jack from Samsung Galaxy S8, in the style of the iPhone 7, which makes wireless headphones ideal. But besides that, has recently acquired the specialist audio company Harman, so it has a whole series of advances in audio technology that could be integrated both in the software and hardware of the mobile as in what could be the accessories that are launched with the Samsung Galaxy S8.
For the moment, yes, we don't know how much they will cost, although it would be ideal for the company to decide to give them away with the mobile, contrary to what Apple has done. Of course, this could give the impression that they have less value than the AirPods, and I don't think that is exactly what Samsung wants. Either way, the launch is scheduled for sometime in the first half of 2017, probably in the month of June, and it will be then when all the technical characteristics of the mobile will be confirmed.
