Samsung continues trying to become the best alternative to AirPods and in this case, after a leak in social networks, the more than possible arrival of the Galaxy Buds, smart in-ear headphones from the South Korean company.
In addition, other devices such as the clock have been leaked Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy Fit / Fit e quantizer braceletSo the brand wants to get back into the sport-focused product race to take Apple's place. In spite of everything, we must not forget that other brands such as Jaybird, The Dash or similar have been in this segment of headphones for a long time, so Samsung has more competitors apart from Apple's AirPods.
Smart headphones compete for market position
And we are not only "at war" with smart speakers, headphones are also a good mouthful of this market and manufacturers continue to compete to take most of the cake. In this case, Samsung plans to present, in addition to its flagship in mobile telephony, the Samsung Galaxy S10, the new Galaxy Buds smart headphones to compete with Apple's AirPods. Actually the firm already has headphones called Gear IconX that have passed without pain or glory through the market and now I would return to the load with these Galaxy Buds.
These new headphones would be the first of the firm to add wireless charging and will come with a box to charge just like Apple's Airpods. Among its main features that have been leaked before its launch are the 252mAh and 58mAh battery for each of the headphones, so they would stay below the mAh of last year's Gear IconX. On the other hand they will add Bluetooth 5.0 and splash resistance with an IPX2 certification. We will see if they can really be considered as a direct rival to the AirPods once they are presented officially next Wednesday, February 2.
