    Samsung and its retail partners have long incentivized the purchase of the company's flagship smartphones with discounts and free accessories. With the holiday season behind us and a new flagship smartphone on the horizon, Samsung is once again offering a freebie to get people to buy the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 8.

    The company is offering a pair of on-ear AKG Bluetooth headphones for free with every purchase of a Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8/S8+ and the S8 Active. As is the case with promotional offers, there's a caveat.

    Free AKG headphones with Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8

    AKG is a premium audio brand owned by Harman International which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung. The company already ships the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 with AKG-tuned in-ear headphones in the box.

    This limited time offer is only available for customers in the United States who make the purchase via Samsung's online store or the Shop Samsung app. For some reason, the promotion excludes Sprint carrier devices.

    The AKG on-ear Bluetooth headphones model Y50BT promise “legendary AKG sound” with up to 20 hours of battery life. The headphones cost $149.95 on their own so this is a pretty good deal that Samsung is offering to customers.

    Customers should read the full terms and conditions of this promotion like any other before they decided to make the purchase. The full details are listed on the product pages for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 on Samsung's online store.
