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+.

Samsung was also rumoured to have been working on a Bixby speaker, though it has now been claimed that those plans have been scrapped.

A software update released earlier this month has already brought an English-speaking version of the Bixby voice assistant to the US.
