It’s solid-feeling and heavy, too, both of which point to a quality of build and design that should stand up to some light knocking about, too. The design feels a little like something Bose might put out, with an understated look that fits in around the house in virtually any setting, from sitting room to kitchen counter.

Even the buttons are metal, which bets the question: why so much plastic on the phones when you can deliver a portable speaker with this kind of quality of build? It features an all-metal enclosure with a metal grille to protect the speaker components too. I highly recommend these above all other in-ear headphones on the market if you have the Note 5 or S6 Edge+ because I can't reiterate enough how wonderful the audio quality is with UHQA enabled.The Samsung Level Box is a well-designed piece of hardware. Though I do wish the plastic was a little bit more flexible, it doesn't bother me enough to knock off a point. I typically go about 3 days of moderate usage before charging, and it takes an hour or two to charge (I don't know exactly how long because I don't pay attention when I'm charging them).Īll in all, these are the best headphones I've owned. They have noise canceling for phone calls which can be toggled on or off, and this does have an effect upon battery life, but even with it on they last me around 9 hours before I have to charge them. They disappear or look like an unusual little necklace, it makes them far less noticeable if you're going for low-key.īattery life is excellent. Try tucking these under your collar when you're at work. There are buttons on the side for volume and the headset can be turned on or off with a switch on the back. Perhaps adding some third-party earbuds that are designed NOT to fall out will help with this, as I've seen other reviewers comment upon. I take these on a jog routinely and they aren't prone to falling out IF you keep your head straight, however, they will definitely begin to fall out if you turn your head left or right. It comes with four pairs of earbuds - one is pre-installed and regular size, then it has three more pairs in Small, Medium, and Large in case your ears canals are shaped differently. The magnet even starts or ends phone calls when pulled apart or put together, respectively (same with music you're listening to). There's also a little magnet on the back of each headphone so that they can clasp together. The plastic it's made from feels sturdy enough. The plastic isn't very flexible so do be aware that on very slender peoples' necks they might look a bit big. If you don't own those, I can't comment upon the quality.Īs far as comfort goes, they're considerably light and rest very gently on my shoulders. Anyway, the sound is the best I've heard on any headset I've ever tried or owned so long as you have the Note 5 or S6 Edge+. You won't have a hard time hearing them in the noisiest of environments. I read some reviews which said that the headphones aren't very loud but trust me when I say that they're completely incorrect - these can be VERY LOUD. I have a FLAC version of Adele's "Hello" that I use to test various headphones and this is the very first time that a headset hasn't distorted, warped, or downgraded the bass when the music rises. The bass sounds incredible and it can even be enhanced through a preset in the Samsung Level app (so can everything, it even has an equalizer so you can individually tune it).
The UHQA, when enabled, really makes the sound seem as though it's much more dynamic as though you're really there inside a concert hall. It's hard to describe sound quality in words but I think the phrase "It sounds wider, more full, and more rich" is the best that I can use. The sound quality is, simply put, incredible. Or it could be planned obselescence, which also wouldn't surprise me.

Why is that, you ask? Honestly, I think it's because the latter two phones have Bluetooth 4.2 and the previous models such as the Galaxy S6 only have Bluetooth 4.1 so there's that. This headset absolutely destroys them all in sound quality.įirst, a caveat: This headset can work with anything but to be honest, it's designed for Samsung products due to two things: The Samsung Level app that it uses, and the fact that the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+ are the only headphones that can take advantage of what's called the UHQA (Ultra High Quality Audio) technology for true 24-bit audio. I've also had a pair of Beats Solo, the Samsung Level Over headset, and the Bose QuietComfort 2. I've had the LG Tone Pro, the Samsung Gear Circle, and the regular Level U for in-ear listening. I've had a number of headsets in my time.
