When it's Apple showed off its own wireless AirPods last fall, almost everyone immediately wondered when Samsung would come up with something similar. However, we must not forget that it was Samsung that came up with a product in this segment much earlier. Gear IconX completely wireless headphones were here long before AirPods.
These wireless headphones already have Samsung - Gear IconX:

However, this is probably not enough for Samsung, as it seems that the South Korean giant has been developing its own wireless devices for some time. However, it gives them one very interesting function that the apple cores do not offer - the smart assistant Bixby.
There is probably nothing to be surprised about. The assistant from Samsung has been in the world for a very short time and logically does not have a very extensive background. Although Samsung recently launched support for the US market, without some other initiative, even after this step, the assistant will not gain ground. Not even a button on flagships Galaxy The S8 and S8+ are not completely trusted by the people at Samsung as a guaranteed way to attract users. The headphones, which many fans of the South Korean company are sure to covet, with Bixby support are a very easy and almost non-invasive way to attract users.
Will wireless headphones replace the smart speaker?
In detail informace not yet known about this project. However, some sources compare the new headphones to the upcoming one Apple HomePod, or smart speaker. Although Samsung decided to suspend the development of a similar product some time ago, it can still bring a more truncated variant in the form of headphones. In addition, the company is said to have managed to develop a far more sophisticated software solution than what it is currently boasting about Apple and that could make the new headphones a truly adequate competitor in this sector of the market.
As for the launch itself, there is speculation about a small sensation. According to some, Samsung could bundle its smart headphones with the planned one Galaxy Note 8. It will be presented on August 23 in New York (we wrote <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>). However, I don't dare to guess whether it will bring a sensation in the form of headphones.
The main minus, which suggests a later sale, is the limitation of Bixby to only two languages. Would it even be worth publishing such a thing for only two states? That's probably why Samsung will be happy to wait a little longer. Nothing will go wrong with it, and the market will then hit even more massively with more languages. However, let us be surprised. Maybe we'll see it in addition to the show Galaxy Note 8 and the launch of the next wave of language support.
