Samsung is rumored to launch the Galaxy Fold 7 sometime in July, and it appears as though the phone won’t be the only thing Samsung is bringing along to the party. Rumors suggest that they’ll also be debuting a pair of bone conduction headphones.
The rumor comes from noted leaker Ice Universe on Weibo, the Chinese social media site. Per the post (translated by Google Translate), Ice Universe says that “Samsung Electronics MX division will release bone conductive headphones at the Samsung Fold conference in July.”
Details are limited, but Ice Universe says the codename of the headset is “Able” and it’ll use open wireless stereo (OWS) that “can transmit sound from around the ear instead of cramming the headphones into the ear.”
Other details like availability, design, color, and pricing were not mentioned.
This may be a language barrier issue, but OWS and bone conduction are two different technologies. OWS — also known as air conduction — are basically earbuds that sit close to the ear without being inside of it, and sound transmits into the user’s ear canal. Bone conduction attaches to the side of the user’s head and bypasses the ear by transmitting sound through the skull.
So, as TechRadar notes, Samsung is certainly making something, but we’re not entirely certain if the new headset will use air conduction, bone conduction, or some mixture of the two. However, the most logical conclusion is that OWS refers to the open earbud design, similar to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, that sits on the outside of your ear. We may have to wait until July to know for sure.
It would be a big step for Samsung as the bone conduction market is a little thin and could use a big player. For now, Shokz, Philips, and H2O top the market, so there is certainly room for the bone conduction space to grow. Consequently, if they are open wireless earbuds, Samsung would be joining Bose in tackling that newer market.

ARSENAL are exploring ways to expand the Emirates’ capacity after being approached by an architect firm, reports claim.
It comes as Premier League rivals are moving quickly to expand their grounds or building new ones to supercharge financial revenue.

Arsenalare now mulling over their options as they attempt to not get left behind, according to The Mail.
Talks are reportedly at an early stage, with a number of potential options being considered.
The cost and the length of the project are the main factors being discussed by Arsenal chiefs, while the impact on the surrounding area is also a major factor.
Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke has already discussed the prospect of an expansion.
He said: “The internal conversations are starting to occur about the stadium.
“It is not an easy renovation, but we see the possibilities of what’s there.”
At 60,704 seats, Arsenal currently have the fifth-biggest stadium in the league – they were second when the Emirates opened.

Tottenham(62,850),West Ham(62,500) andLiverpool(61,276) have all since shot past them.
The cost and project time length are major factors for Arsenal when it comes to the available options.
The North London club were reportedly approached about hosting Euro 2028 games, but declined.
The Emirates has instead chosen to free up the summer 2028 calendar for events and concerts.
This potentially presents an opportunity to get any stadium expansion completed by.
Meanwhile an architect has already given an insight into what a potential expansion project could look like.

Nick Tyrer told The i Paper: “It’s efficient, everything fits together like a nice puzzle.
“It’s impressive what they were able to do on that tight site, but the problem with a puzzle that fits nicely together is as soon as you want to make big changes to it, it’s difficult.
“One of the big challenges is there’s an elegant roof that is supported in I think eight places.
The whole roof sits on those eight points and if you want to do any kind of expansion you need to remove the structure that’s blocking you.”
Tottenham’s state-of-the-art stadium took three years to build and was completed in April 2019.
And Man City’s north stand, which started construction in July 2023, is expected to be done by the end of 2026.
The Mail claim that money will be needed for work on at least Holloway Road underground station to increase its capacity.
