Owing to smartphone manufacturers skipping the 3.5mm headphone jack, the wireless earphones market has been booming. The market growth of the audio device has been on the rise and competition is already stiff and is bound to grow more intense. Now, OnePlus, the smartphone manufacturer is reportedly also looking into entering this cut-throat market to tackle other major brands like Apple and Samsung.

According to Max J, the known leakster (for Samsung related information) stated that OnePlus is getting ready to enter the wireless earphones market. In a tweet, he shared an image of a truly wireless earphone promotion concept which he claimed was from OnePlus. Unfortunately, since no official confirmation or announcement has been made, it is uncertain as to what the upcoming earphones might actually look like.

Furthermore, the image carries the words “listen without the cords in your way” which is a clear hint at truly wireless earphones. Hence, it might follow a similar design philosophy as a regular Bullets Wireless lineup but without the cords. Although, what useful and unique function OnePlus adds to the gadget is a mystery for now.

Currently, Apple dominates the wireless earphones market with its AirPods. Thus, the move from OnePlus seems probable as it may seek to rival both Samsung (Galaxy Buds) and Apple in the market. Since the company already offers wireless earphones, these new additions might just prove to be a great push to its periphery gadget sales; and knowing OnePlus, the company might undercut its mainstream rivals by a notable margin in terms of pricing.
