Did they copy the Senn Momentums or, and follow me here, or did they iterate on their own design from the 2016 Gear IconX?So instead of copying Apple, they copied My excellent Sennheiser MomentumTW buds!

You’re right, they copied themselves. They have no shame.
I’m guessing they copied themselves, as I doubt seriously they are even close to the sound quality of the Senns!Did they copy the Senn Momentums or, and follow me here, or did they iterate on their own design from the 2016 Gear IconX?
What does the sound quality of the Senns have to do with your claim Samsung copied the look of the Momentums?
As to the sound quality, if they are anything like last years version, they sound pretty darn good. The sound signature is completely different from the Momentums. Different, not better or worse, just different. Regardless, still has nothing to do with your original claim.
Yes. It's a blatant rip off. Samsung had to munge it a little to try at least not to be that obvious.
So, launching an iterative follow-up product of which the original product Samsung released months before Apple released their airpods, and looks nothing like Apple's product, is a blatant ripoff?
Where do you people come up with stuff?
Except that they don't and I highly doubt we will ever see anyone wearing these. Just like I very rarely see anyone wearing these gear smartwatch things from Samsung. Samsung so desperately wants to be Apple, But I have to give them credit for not copying AirPods, instead copying Bragi the Dash this time. Well done Samy
NONE of us here that own AirPods thought calls would sound as good as they do too!!
And yet half of the macrumors members scourned villified and hated when Apple bought Beats yet they learned heavily there!!

Wow, I didn't know Bluetooth device pairing could be patented.
Actually it is ... first by the creator of Bluetooth: Ericsson.
You’re right, they copied themselves. They have no shame.
You are right Mr Scruff!
I was wondering where did they get the peering inspiration though?
That can hardly be a copy, can it?
No, Samsung never does that It is unheard
Bragi is made up of former people who worked at AKG and Harman. Both owned by Samsung. Who's to say they didn't borrow any knowledge from their time there?Except that they don't and I highly doubt we will ever see anyone wearing these.

Care to rebut his point? Gear IconX came out in the summer of 2016. Apple's Airpods came out in December of 2016.
[doublepost=1550730922][/doublepost]
Yes, but some features won't work as they should or won't work at all. Just like how you can use Airpods on Android but have a limited feature selection.
You are no doubt one of the many self deluding haters of apple who thinks that Google came up with the smart phone and its UI before Apple did. Or was it Nokia or Blackberry. Anybody but Apple eh?
Blatant rip off. AND 3 years too late too!!! LOL!!!!
Gear IconX came out in July 2016. Airpods came out in December 2016.

Why? It's that old line again isn't it? "Oh, Apple wasn't first at anything they're just a marketing company."
Oh, there was x,y and z before the iPhone, iPod, iPad, touch id, face id, 64bit ARM.....
It's like listening to a broken record.
I stated that those Sammy pods are a blatant rip off. They are. Period. Container too. Even more so.
I'd bought BT headphones prior the the Airpods. Tried a few. All merde. Total waste of money.
Then Apple comes up with something that turns into a best seller because they finally do it right. (your Gear IconX is in the failed bin too.)
I've been on here long enough to remember the howls of protest, before anyone had tried them, that they were crap, looked stupid, didn't work and no body needed them. Oh and where were the damn wires and headphone jack?
Apple couldn't make enough to keep up with the demand for almost a year.
Now that's all forgotten and everyone is scrambling to Ape Apple.
Apple Apes. I like that, it's got a nice ring to it.
Banana anyone?
And if time isn't a factor, why bring up the argument yourself? Regardless, you seem to overlook that other companies came out with pod containers for the AirPods that used Qi to deliver the power to the earbuds charging inside. I didn't see you complain of their blatant rip off of something Apple also missed the mark on; a Qi enabled case.
And with that, another post of yours without any merit or research.
No, I don't hate Apple or their products but I don't love them either.
The icon-x came out before the earpods, the new Samsung earbuds are an iterative follow up on the icon-x design.
It just isn't a blatant ripoff, the idea that it is a blatant ripoff is illogical.
Hence, where do you people come up with this stuff?

You are right, it is possible. But I just don't trust Samsung! I mean just look how they changed their Galaxy Tab for 2019. Striking similar to the new iPad Pro, even antenna bands. build material (from glass to aluminum) they changed the camera position also, and after making fun of Apple about the lack of headphone jack, they did remove it themselves from the tablet! Not just copycats but hypocrites too!
