Don't hold your breath for this feature any time soon, but it sounds like several brands are thinking about it.

A recent report claims that Samsung, Meta, and Apple want to incorporate cameras into their earbuds. Earbuds are among the most common accessories these days. Chances are you’ll find many people wearing them on the street.

"Feature creep" is defined on Wikipedia as "excessive ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product." It goes on to demonstrate the problems, as "these extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and can result in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design."

They've also received great reviews on Amazon. One reviewer said: "The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE have aced my expectations when it comes to wireless earbuds. Contained in a compact and stylish charging case, these earbuds are perfect to carry around. You barely feel them in your pockets due to their small size.
