Samsung is developing a "clone" for Apple's AirPods headphones, which will also work with the Bixby personal assistant that has just been launched with support for the English language. Although Samsung released the Icon X headphones some time ago, considered at the time to be developed to compete with AirPods, it seems that in reality Samsung wants to release something that has the ability to do this.
Samsung is developing a pair of headphones that will offer the functionality that AirPods headphones have with Siri, that is, Bixby to allow the use of voice commands to control music and more. At the moment, no pair of Samsung's wireless headphones offers such advanced functions, but Apple's AirPods are thought of much differently and Siri has been praised by many for the functions offered.
Samsung was rumored to be developing a smart speaker that would work with Bixby, like Apple's HomePod, but in reality it seems that it is developing a pair of headphones. Those who provided the respective information announced at one point that Samsung does not want to develop a smart speaker and that it actually plans to launch a pair of headphones that will work with the help of Bixby.
Samsung is developing headphones similar to AirPods, with integrated Bixby
Samsung wants these headphones to imitate as much as possible the functionality of AirPods, so they will be designed to be used in tandem with Samsung Galaxy S8or Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Apple thought AirPods to work perfectly with any compatible iPhone and it is normal for Samsung to have exactly the same intentions to give customers the best experience of using its products.
Samsung also wants these headphones to have the best autonomy possible, just like the AirPods headphones have, and that means it has a lot of work ahead of it. Those from Apple have been praised by everyone for the autonomy of the AirPods headphones, and those from Samsung want to have at least as happy customers who can use their headphones all day long to listen to the music they have available in the terminals and not only.
"Samsung Electronics has begun developing a Bluetooth earpiece for small business and artificial intelligence (AI) voice secretary 'Bixbee'. It is expected to launch simultaneously with the Galaxy Note 8 in September. "
Samsung has had this new pair of headphones in development for some time, but it's hard to say when it will be ready to be officially launched. It is possible that Samsung will offer the new pair of headphones together with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but it is also possible that it will appear later, so it remains to be seen what will happen.
