Samsung's new headphones that will ship with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones have allegedly leaked online.

The photos were posted by tinhte.vn, a site that has leaked authentic items in the past. Notably, the headphones look quite similar to the Apple EarPods.

SamMobile reports, "Our sources had revealed to us that Samsung’s new earbuds would have a design similar to Apple’s Earpods and clearly the similarities are there. As far as the partnership with Sennheiser is concerned it is possible that Samsung might have worked with this company to improve the quality of its earbuds but it doesn’t appear that Samsung will be shipping Sennheiser branded earbuds with the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge."

Take a look at the images below and let us know what you think in the comments. Are these a copy of Apple's EarPods?

Samsung trying to copy Apple everything they can. Hoping that they can make money like Apple does. good luck whit that.

Actually Samsung is making much moooore money than Apple and I mean only in phones(apple is really small if you take whole samsung - electronics, weapons, shipment and so on)

gamerscul9870 - May 6, 2015 at 7:56pm

There are barely even close to Apple. If it had not been for their foolish ad gimmicks, they would have stayed near ahead of Apple.

gamerscul9870 - May 7, 2015 at 10:27am

Apple has given money to many things. Charity that involves red products, deals for purchasing new products, and many things. For buying Apple products, I buy them for how good many say they are, but I just don't take their word for it, I look at how many really are happy, and that's how I tell Apple products are really as good as it seems.

lolz... another sue case soon ^-^

They threw in a little clear gel to try and make them more comfortable, but some might still find them difficult to wear.

Sam Raimi - February 28, 2015 at 10:25pm

I love how you're so mad you failed to even form a valid disagreement. But seriously, Samsung is stretching the boundaries of what it means to let Apple abuse the patent system. And when Apple and its patent bully little brother Rockstar quit hitting companies for such ridiculous things as "the icons are arranged in a rectangle" and "it has rounded corners", the world will be a better place.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 10:28pm

What makes you think things that don't matter are ridiculous. It's still an effort to put textures in them than just making flat no textured tiles that are huge that take up 1/3 of the screen.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 2:33pm

Are you joking? My EarPods fit my ears perfectly and are a real step up compared to earbuds even if it was Apples. My sister gave 2 to me and the first one I bought and owned (before the 2 she gave me) has lasted almost an entire year loud or quiet.

Roger Melly - February 28, 2015 at 12:45pm

I can why Samsung is cheaper. Their R and D department is Apple. lol....

Dip - February 28, 2015 at 11:40am

As a matter of fact Appel EarPods system is a copy of skull candy old earbuds so everybody makes copy

Ottifant - February 28, 2015 at 10:43am

funny little things, look like hairdryers for Barbie and Ken :-D

Breix - February 28, 2015 at 9:59am

Seriously folks.. Soon all phones will all do the same thing copy or not copy but with the same features only named differently but does the same thing as the other phones does.. Yes different brand names of phone different a.k.a's of phone different designs different color but in the end they do the same thing.. A phone-music player-gaming-like a computer that u can browse sites check your mail and so on.. Remember the most common thing that all those phones has.. Call and text.

Rawl - February 28, 2015 at 6:38am

Samsung being samsung. They never change.

Nobody - February 28, 2015 at 4:51am

Of course they look like EarPods? What did you expect? Something marginally original?

Anku - February 28, 2015 at 3:28am

Its look like apple EarPods and little bit difference . Apple has no compression .

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:06am

Who is copying who? Why are Apple and Samsung users like to bash each other? Both are good. Both copied from previous phones. Just like car... how can you say the accelerator pedal is on the left and if some other car manufacturer makes it the same, is it copying? Don't be childish! Use what you like and don't bash. No need for that.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:12am

Samsung has bashed Apple and took it more than too far. The more they copy, the more it's revenge.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:13am

Homes aren't even any different companies. Same material, many customizations of rooms, floor levels, heights, shape, and much more. Enough.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:18am

Guess that kinda of makes sense... but is revenge like this really the right way? Maybe it's because people are hiding behind their PC's ... say things that they would normally not say in front of each other. I have never seen a brawl between Apple and Samsung users. But a brawl like online only.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:21am

Your home copied my home.... that's a similar argument. Or the home company A made looks similar to company B. Apple buy parts for iPhone from other companies. Samsung buy parts for iPhone from other companies. What's the difference?

I mean Samsung buy parts for S6 from other companies.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:24am

Difference is if one product is trying to work exactly like the other or looks like the other like it tries to be an imposter, it's copying. Look at Samsung's loop pay, it's a catch up on Apple pay.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:27am

Yes, you can say Samsung is trying to catch up to Apple. But Apple also caught up to SoftCard Wallet, Google Pay.. etc. Who not say Samsung and Apple copied Softcard and Google Pay?

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:29am

Apple went beyond others in mobile wallet. Heck you can even pay online.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:30am

Apple did not invent everything they made. So they are bound to have copied something as well. Same as Samsung.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:31am

Same as Google pay. It's just an observation... I am neutral on each side.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:32am

Google pay is part of Google Wallet. It's available to use online as well as on phones. That is before Apple Payment services.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:35am

So technically the iPhone back in 2007 copied what they? What did earpods copy other then putting in vents to increase bass, what did the iPod ever copy? What about those Mac developer programs, App Store, and much more on it?

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:38am

I am not saying they are not copying. What I meant was copying to be similar, not exact is been going on for centuries. Of course knockoff is something else. It's how we improve ourselves... without that imaging how the world will be now. Monopolies everywhere. iPhone from 2007

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:43am

Of course I can also find where Samsung copied as well.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 3:44am

Provide all you want, still didn't copy as much as Samaung ever did. Look at all the lawsuits here.

rs4ever - February 28, 2015 at 3:48am

My point is that most companies copies... that is been going on for a while and it's commonly unavoidable. So copy or not, if a phone works for you then that's all.

Breix - February 28, 2015 at 10:16am

Mac dev programs? Yes not like windows? But exactly where is it based from? Windows computer.. Different style different name called.. What was the first computer/software went out of the market? Win OS next Mac.. Originally called Apple Computers.. When win os has something to take out of the market trust me apple has something in there hands too.. Different names or features.. But it only does one thing.. Right?

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 2:59am

The shape looks like someone's head was sucked out with big lips on it.

Butterspider - February 28, 2015 at 2:56am

Now who's copying?....

than - February 28, 2015 at 2:45am

great, they copied a terrible headphone. who cares.

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 2:04am

Not even decent style let alone copying.

Yo samsung - February 28, 2015 at 1:50am

S6 and now EarPods next iPad !

te72s - February 28, 2015 at 1:31am

Samsung are 100% copycat!

Forrest - February 28, 2015 at 1:28am

I would say inspired by Apple EarPods not a copy, yet with this design the out side noises would be better eliminated, I don't think it'll fit in everybody's ears easily without causing pain and itching, which would make it uncomfortable wearing them for a long time, I hope it's safe.

Dommm - February 28, 2015 at 8:56am

It won't fit in mine.

justabrake - February 28, 2015 at 1:19am

I hope it's stronger then apples !

gamerscul9870 - February 28, 2015 at 2:56am

I doubt it. How can anyone go above and beyond EarPods that provide richer bass with low frequency sound?
