Have you ever sat on the couch, or out on the porch with your iPad, and realized that the file you need is on your Mac?

One of these companies, Samsung, is reportedly set to show off its own “Galaxy Buds” at its upcoming February 20 press event. And thanks to a leaked image, we have a good idea of what they’ll look like.
