Cassy O, 29 Dec 2016As long as Samsung makes the S8 with AptX HD and the Gear IconX with 5-8hrs battery life. ... moreI Agree, thanks for your input!
AnonD-507785, 30 Dec 2016For now...you increased usage of lightning port by 100% (if not more). Soon the port will star... moreyeah after 1 million time, anyway I will upgrade to iPhone 8 so whatever
it's good to copy everything from iphone i don't like ios so i buy an android iphone wich is samsung ...
AnonD-626593, 30 Dec 2016I beg to differ - Erato Audio Rio 3 and Muse 5 true wireless earbuds are the real deal! I have... moreThat may be, but you're forgetting about the value for money factor. For this price I can have a much better over-ear studio headphones, that will blow Muse 5 out of the water. Wireless technology is not there yet, considering all the angles.
Herodroid, 30 Dec 2016Exactly. Apple did this so they can earn money. But tech is not yet evolved enough to be movin... moreAnd I really hate the idea of truly wireless like gearx and airpods you lose one you have to buy it and its not cheap I would rather have $200 wired headset than $160 airpods which last only 5 hours and if I accidently lose one I have to pay $70 just to get a replacement
Jimmy chow, 30 Dec 2016I really want the 3.5mm jack gone. Such ancient tech. Wall outlet is even older. Want to get rid of that to? Won't be able to charge your phone, watch TV, microwave popcorn, etc. but hey price of progress, courage and all that.
I wish that one day these Apples and Samsungs will realise a few things about people seriously minding their audio tech...
1. We do NOT use the crap they call earphones provided with the phones. When we buy our phones, we get a REAL pair of headphones, e.g. Sennheiser, and completely forget these Apples and Samsungs even make earphones...
2. The only physical feature of our phones that we use more often that the single microUSB port provided to us is the 3.5mm jack connector.
3. The only thing these companies achieve by chasing fads is make us use our phones for a lot less things than the previous generations, which is the opposite of the point of a smartphone.
Phew, 30 Dec 2016Where Apple goes, Samsung follows a year later.haha samsung released it first a year ago, this is a new version
So many wannabes manufacturers these days. Except for one true, practical manufacturer.
Anonymous, 30 Dec 2016Except their "awesome audio performance" has nothing to do with the fact that they are wireles... moreThe fact still remains - you can aquire excellent set of true wireless earphones regardless of whether the awesome audio is reliant on wireless or not. The wireless performance of these units is perfect with no connection drop out or discernible difference in audio quality between wired and wireless earphones. However, to each his own I suppose!
Where Apple goes, Samsung follows a year later.
Samsung is obsessed with Apple..

aptx HD will have almost double the standard bitrate, however, Sony ldac is at 980kb which is unbelievable the best wireless standard so far until Bluetooth 5 is released

Take the best possible wireless headphones and you can still find wired phones at least as good as the best wireless ones.

Jimmy chow, 30 Dec 20163.5mm is outdated junk and its time to start ditching it. in audio technology, 3.5mm jack isn't outdated, even the wireless still can't beat it.. the reason(s) why manufacturers removing 3.5mm jack is to shave some cost production, save space, and to force consumer to buy their earphone accessories
And they'll still be overpriced and horrible sounding.
Jimmy chow, 30 Dec 20163.5mm is outdated junk and its time to start ditching it. Yet you can't name any tech, that will offer same or better quality. Wireless technology is not good enough at the moment, deal with it.
There are disadvantages and advantages for the 3.5 mm jack
Advantages
-you can get a good sound from a budget 3.5 mm headphone such as soundmagic e10s
(going digital means integrating dac amp to headphones which increases the cost)
-cant charge while playing music,watching movies
(think if you are on a travel and needs to charge via a powerbank but you are bored)
disadvantage
usb c port can actually output analog signals too(just like a 3.5mm port)
usb c can also output power(for noise cancelling headphones)
AnonD-507785, 30 Dec 2016Yet any modern tech used in the phones as a replacement is inferior to 3.5mm jack. Sooo...if i... more3.5mm is outdated junk and its time to start ditching it.
