It seems Samsung wants to take Apple on yet again with its upcoming flagship. SamMobile reports that the South Korean company might be looking into removing the 3.5mm audio jack on the Galaxy S8 and it also wants to release a wireless headset alongside it. There isn’t any information yet if this will be bundled with the new smartphone or sold separately, like what Apple did, and if it’ll feature Harman audio.  

This won’t be Samsung’s first foray into developing wireless headphones for mobile devices, though. A few months back it released the Gear IconX, a wireless headphone that was also an activity tracker.  At the moment these are all just rumours and must be taken with a grain of salt, especially with prototypes showing the Galaxy S8 still sporting a headphone jack but it is still worth watching out for. Will you be interested in getting wireless headphones for a new Galaxy device?
