Everyone is talking about the new Samsung S8 and the Samsung S8+, and the new phones are loaded with amazing technology. However, one interesting feature is the new Bluetooth 5.0.

Apart from an increase in range and data, Bluetooth 5.0 also means that the S8s will support playback through two pairs of wireless headphones simultaneously. This feature, is called the ‘Bluetooth Dual Audio’ and will allow two people to listen to the phone’s audio at the same time. This is perfect if you want to share your music with someone, but don't want to cause any disturbance to people around you. 

This feature was earlier seen on the Marshall Mid headphones, which allow you to wire a second pair of headphones into the Marshall headphones, which are tethered to the phone via Bluetooth. 

However, the S8's idea seems a lot more fluid, and it is definitely a feature to look forward to.
