pocket nouns galaxy SI coverage is brought to you by D brand clickbait e title is clickbait e but it would appear folks that i have misled you we produced a separate video taking a look and to listen at the earbuds that are included with the galaxy s 8 you know these earbuds here with the giant AKG logos on them but it turns out these earbuds were not made by AKG what depths of journalistic investigation did I have to descend to to uncover this shocking fact actually a Samsung PR bro hit me up on Twitter that's that's tweet right there after getting that tweet I went over to Samsung site and looked up their other headphones and wouldn't you know it this casing design is actually really common on Samsung headphones made by Samsung but tuned by AKG this disclosure is actually just a little bothersome it's not like we haven't seen these kinds of partnerships before see these earbuds were also tuned by AKG so of course there's a big AKG logo on the back no no actually it's an LG logo because LG made these headphones and then sought out the audio expertise of AKG and for the v20 in a lot of markets which got the B&O headphones these often just came in via no retail packaging no confusion there so it's a good thing Samsung corrected me on this misconception I wonder where I could have gotten the idea that these were from AKG a month ago we announced our partnership with Harman and today we're excited to show you one of the first examples of that collaboration every galaxy si will come with a pair of top-of-the-line earbud from AKG from a kg for her so folks does this change your opinion on a somewhat expensive accessory that's included in the box on a Galaxy s8 for me personally this doesn't change my assessment from the review of the audio quality in the slightest obviously but I can't shake this little bug of frustration as it pertains to Samsung in this labeling and branding exercise so drop a comment down below share your thoughts we know Samsung's really pushing this Harman acquisition do you think they've done enough to properly disclose the relationship as it pertains to the Galaxy s8 and these premium earbuds did you know that if there are 23 people in a room there's a 50% chance that two of them share a birthday we'd like to thank our sponsor D brand for reminding us that the next time your mom forgets your birthday chances are she forgot someone else's in the room - this is our ad and all of our Samsung Galaxy s8 coverage is brought to you by D brand check them out in the link below as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe to this channel for our full Galaxy s8 coverage including reviews in comparisons as soon as I'm done with this I'm going to be going outside to shoot some more for the real camera review and that helped us out with some sharing on your favorite social networks for pocket now I'm Juan Carlos bag now so I'm gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video
