Samsung - LEVEL OVER - Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

These headphones work great with my phone can listen to my personal play lists and never miss a phone call. The headset pauses my music and picks up the call. When I'm done talking it go's right back to the song I was listening to. You increase volume with a upward swipe or move to the next song with a for word swipe or listen to last song with a backward swipe. To lower volume do a downward swipe. It works with all downloaded music or streaming music. I have enjoyed many hours Listening to my favorite songs of the 60"s I would highly recommend these they can block all outside noise so you really get an A1 listening experience.

Let me start out by saying I'm very picky about my headsets. And that is probably an understatement. I have so many headsets, it's embarrassing. Bose, Plantronics, Beats, Jabra, Ultimate Ears, Shure, you name it, I may have had it. There's a few things I look for in a headset. Sound quality, voice quality, comfort, style and battery life if wireless. I have a Note 4 and stumbled onto the Level Over via Samsung's website. I was not really in the market for a headset, but when visiting my local Best Buy, a sales rep in the Samsung section, told me they were 1/2 off bringing the price below $200. This was a bargain, so I decided to give them a go. Sound Quality (5 stars): Top notch in my book. The noise calculation is spot on. It is strong, but not too much to where you hear the annoying "hissing" sound. The sound quality is really good, but jumps to outstanding when you use the Samsung Level app with your phone. You have total control of the sound. If you want base, you got it. If you are into rock, country or EDM, these should work well. Wind - there is a gap between the cup and the brace that goes over the head. Wind gets trapped in there OR wind gets picked up from the active mics. Either way, if it’s windy outside, it will impact the sound quality. Voice quality (2 stars): I am picky when it comes to voice. I am on the phone a lot for work and I hate nothing more than a bad call experience. Choppy, tin can, echo, breaking up, alien... drives me crazy. The feedback I have on voice falls into two buckets. First, if I used the wire or bluetooth, I was told I sounded "hollow". People could understand me, but they could tell I was on a headset. This is usually okay for most people. If you're outside and there's wind... it's not going to work for you. I was unable to test if the mic picked up a lot of background noise. The other bucket has to do with the noise cancellation feature. Talking on the phone with these things in noise calculation mode is painful. Your voice is NOT picked up by the mic and routed back into your earphones, so you can't hear yourself talk (if that makes any sense). Put your hands of your ears and talk. That is what it sounds like, but times it by 5. It is okay for short calls, but I wouldn't be comfortable taking long calls on it. The good news, is you can disable noise cancellation mode and the headset and mic still work. It is still not great, but it is improved. Comfort (5 stars): It doesn't get too much better than this. They really are comfortable which is something I usually struggle with because my head is on the BIG side. People with big heads usually experience a "pressing" feeling over longer periods of time which is uncomfortable at 60 minutes. These do not press up against the head AND the nice leather cushion headrest is perfect. When adjusted to your head, the headset truly rests on your head and not your ears. Style (3 stars): There are part of them that I like. I really like the leather band. I like the no buttons look. The colors are good, especially the white ones (although I purchased black). That said, they are giant. When wearing them to the check the mail, I felt like I was headed to the gun range or on the flightdeck of an aircraft carrier. They are BIG, but also note, they are lightweight for how big they are. I was okay wearing them in my home office, but would not be okay with wearing them in the office or at the airport. Also note, they don’t fold or collapse. So if you’re mobile and need to pack them, they’re going to take up a little room in your bag. They do however, come with a nice case for storage. Volume and track control is done through a touch slider. I liked it, although the pause feature did not work on my phone or I could not get it to work with Spotify or Soundcloud. Battery Life (5 stars): They charge fast and lasted a long time. I don’t know the exact times, but I was content. As noted in the title, I ended up returning them. Even though I got them for half off retail, they were just not for me. For the Level Over and I to live happily ever after, this is what I would like to see in a future version. Work on the size. Needs a smaller footprint. Specifically on how far they stick out off the ear. Need to solve the problem with wind and how it affects the sound quality. When on a call, somehow route my voice into the ear piece so I can hear myself and we’re gold (similar to what Turtle Beach has done with their gaming headsets). I travel often and it would be helpful if they collapsed or folded down.

The build quality seems great and they are incredibly comfortable. The touch controls are really cool and they work flawlessly. Bluetooth connection is easy and I would say the range is above average. A lot of reviews mention the lack of bass from these headphones. Most people don't realize that larger headphones like these need to be broken in. Those drivers(50mm I think) need to be loosened up. I ran them for over 30 hours, a variation of white noise, heavy drums, and frequency sweeps. I started out at low volumes and worked up to near maximum volume. When paired with the Samsung Level Over app, you can customize the sound perfectly. There are other options in the app as well, such as controlling the noise cancellation and notifications. They come with a cable too with an inline remote, so they can be used passively without the power on. The carrying case is nice. They don't fold, so if you're looking for compact headphones, these aren't the ones.

I went into best buy not knowing a lot about wh9ch wireless headphones I wanted and I am glad after trying them out in the store and using my phone to research while in there I choose these. I use this daily at work. The sound is fantastic and the Noise Cancelation feature is great so I can concentrate better. The battery is fantastic and I can go about 2 work days of good listening. The comfort blows the competition out of the water (the only one that I felt was on the same level was a Bose wired headphone that I can't recall the model). At the time the price was less than wireless Beats and a lot more comfortable.

These Headphones are absolutely awesome! I didn't care for the price, but once I listened to them on my Galaxy Note phone with the cord and with the blue tooth option, I forgot all about the price! On the other hand they seem really bulky, but once again, I was pleasantly surprised. I can easily fall asleep in bed with them on because they are also very comfortable. They are a very good investment and worth every cent.

Very comfortable, awesome sound and excellent battery life what more could you want. Only downside is the price and they are a little on the large side so they take up a lot of space in your bag while traveling. The touch pad controls on the right ear are also a nice touch but is a little too easy to accidentally bump at times.

I found myself looking for a pair of Bluetooth headphones and have found the perfect pair. Having had a pair of wired Bose Noise Reducing Headphones, I naturally headed for the Bose Bluetooth headphones based on my prior experience. I was sadly disappointed that Bose chose to change the "over the ear " design for their Bluetooth model. By having the earpiece sitting on the external area of the ear, outside noise crept in and the fit required constant readjusting. That said, I was shown the Samsung Bluetooth headphones and knew immediately that I had found what I was looking for. My preferred design, ease of use and set up and a dynamic sound experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the range allowing perfect "wireless" freedom to go throughout the house and outdoor areas with no loss of signal. I am sold on the quality of all of my Samsung products, Galaxy S5 phone, Tablet 10.1 and now these headphones to compliment the package.

Great headphones. The Samsung level app is amazing, it really helps customize until you get the sound that you like. The battery is the best, I don't charge mine regularly. A charge lasts like a whole week (I use them to commute daily and listen to audio books online). Touch pad on the right side is really convenient and make is simple to change tracks and up or down the volume it's also very responsive. The clamping force is minimum and these are very comfortable when using for long periods of time. Definitely recommend them. Ps the bass is really good if you tweak the equalizer on your music player app and combine it with the Samsung level app equalizer options, you can really get a rich bass. Just a FYI.
