South Korean giant Samsung might launch with the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 device a pair of wireless earplugs -- similar to Apple's wireless AirPods -- that will be powered by its artificial intelligence assistant 'Bixby'.

According to a report in Korean outlet ETNews, the earphones will feature noise cancelling technology and it's expected that they will also work alongside the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
