Samsung is rumored to launch The Galaxy Fold 7 Sometime in July, and it appears as thought the phone won’T be the only thing Samsung is bringing along to the party. Rumors sugges that they’ll also be debuting a pair of bone condition headphones,
The rumor come from noted leaker ice university on WeiboThe chinese social media site. Per the post
Details are limited, but ice universe say the codename of the headset is “althe” and it’ll use open wireless stereo (Ows) that “Can Transmit Sound from ARAROM ARAROM ARAROM ARAROM ARAROM ARAOND SOND Into the ear. “
Mashable light speed
Other details like availability, design, color, and pricing was not mentioned.
This may be a language barrier issue, but Ows and Bone Conduction are two different technologies. Ows – also know as Air Conduction – Are basically earbuds Bone Conduction Attaches to the side of the user’s head and bypasses the ear by transmitting sound through the skull.
So, as Techradar notesSamsung is certainly making something, but we’re not entryly certain certain However, the most logical conclusion is that Ows Reefers to the Open Earbud Design, Similar to the Bose Ultra Open EarbudsThat sits on the outside of your ear.

It would be a big step for samsung as the bone condition market is a little thin and bill use a big player. For now, shokz, philips, and h2o top the market, so there is certain room for the bone condition space to grow. Consequently, if they are open wireless earbuds, samsung would be joining bose in tackling that newer market.
