Samsung to bundle AKG earphones in the box of the Galaxy S8

Last updated: February 26th, 2017 at 21:07 UTC+02:00

During its MWC 2017 event, Samsung announced that it’ll be bundling a pair of AKG earphones in the box of its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8. This news came shortly after the firm revealed that it will be bringing AKG-tuned audio to future Galaxy smartphones.

For those unaware, Samsung recently acquired Harman International Industries for an estimated $112 per share, and seeing as AKG falls under its umbrella, it has the resources required to integrate the audio specialist’s technology into its devices and offer its products as accessories.
