Compared to other brands
- Lots Of Features. Most headphones from Samsung are packed with active features and support several codecs. Even their cheaper models are often wireless, have noise cancellation, and support low-latency or high audio quality codecs. This makes them affordable yet versatile headphones when compared to other brand name models.
- Above-Average Sound Quality. Samsung's headphones usually have a decently well-balanced sound quality.
- Stylish Designs. Samsung has a lot of sleek-looking headphones that are comfortable to wear. Their designs often include features like touch-sensitive control schemes to reduce the number of visible buttons and bright colors that stand out. Some of their headphones are a fashion statement, as well as being practical.
- Plasticky Build Quality. Although headphones from Samsung look good, they tend to have slightly flimsy build quality. They feel less durable than other similarly designed headphones in their price range.
- Poor Headphone Variety. Samsung doesn't have a lot of variety in their models. They often release Pro versions of their original line-up with more features, but they do not have a lot of headphone types for different listeners.
Overall, Samsung delivers decent sounding and sleek-looking headphones. For their price range, they have a lot of active features and support multiple codecs that make even their budget headphones versatile. However, the headphones we've reviewed so far have a slightly plasticky build quality that doesn't feel as durable as competing brands. They also don't have a lot of headphone variety, so you might not find a model that fits your specific needs and preferences.

Best Samsung Headphones for Mixed Usage
Usage Ratings - Version 1.26.8Mixed Usage6.9Critical Listening6.9Commute/Travel7.4Sports/Fitness7.1Office5.5TV5.4GamingThe best Samsung headphones for mixed usage are the Level U Pro. They are surprisingly affordable for the number of features they provide. If you don't mind the around-the-neck design and you're comfortable with in-ears, then the Level U Pro are a good option for most situations. The similarly-designed Samsung U Flex has a much better build quality with the same amount of features, but only for Samsung devices which is a bit limiting. If you have a regular Android phone (that's not a Samsung device), then go for the Level U pro instead. They're lightweight, have a decent wireless range, and they support apt-X LL (low latency). They also have a customizable sound through the Level app.

Best Samsung Headphones for Audio Quality
Usage Ratings - Version 1.27.1Mixed Usage7.4Critical Listening7.4Commute/Travel7.0Sports/Fitness7.5Office6.0TV5.7GamingThe best Samsung headphones for audio reproduction are the Level Over. They have an excellent wireless range and a long-lasting battery life. They also have a customizable sound and deliver a comfortable listening experience that's good for casual and critical listeners.
Conclusion
Samsung is a big brand that delivers versatile, stylish, and feature-packed headphones, but do not offer as many headphone choices as some of their competitors. On the upside, the headphones they produce typically have a better-than-average sound quality, and a lot of premium features, like touch-sensitive control schemes and low-latency codecs, that are not usually available in their price range. Unfortunately, they're not built as sturdily as similar models from other brands.
