The Samsung Circle headset

After unveiling its Samsung Gear S smartwatch late last night, Samsung had one more thing to show us: earphones that join together to form a necklace that vibrates when someone calls you.

The Samsung Gear Circle can be paired with a smartphone to receive calls and listen to music, similar to existing high-end earphones and headsets. But one thing that is new about the headset is its magnetic locking system, which turns the earphones into a vibrating necklace when they're not in use.

Pairing the Gear Circle to a smarpthone via Bluetooth will allow you to give voice commands and take calls using the headphones, which fit around your neck as a necklace when not in use.
