It made no detectable difference through the supplied 3.5mm cable and the sound discrepancy is amplified if you switch to a more accomplished pair of cans. That sense of fulfilment is lacking with these Samsungs, and so while elements of their performance do sound impressive, you're left with quite a cold signature that leaves you feeling there's something missing. But what really pulls any pair of headphones together is a wholesome midrange - that significant part of the soundscape between bass and treble that adds detail, really fills out the sound and gives you a warm hug as you listen. Many people really like a booming bassline and to many pairs of ears a sharp high-end is seen as a sign of excellent dynamic range. As a result, the soundscape really lacks any kind of balance.Ī truly flat and accurate frequency response is not for everyone, true. They pump out some excellent bass and the high frequencies on many tracks really fizz.īut it's the midrange that lets these headphones down. The ear cups do provide a decent sound stage via some good isolation from outside noise even without noise cancelling turned out. In truth, I was a bit disappointed with them. So far then, the Samsung Level Over headphones are coming out on top but it's how they sound that really matters and sadly for me they only sound.
HOW TO USE SAMSUNG LEVEL U PRO WIRELESS HEADPHONES ANDROID
They're made from plastic, much like Samsung's Galaxy Android devices Sound quality The Level Overs do an excellent job of filtering out background white noise from air con units and aeroplanes but as with any ANC headphones, you'd be wise not to expect miracles. Sort of a default feature for active headphones these days and it's a technology that hasn't improved for many years. The other feature, of course, is noise cancelling. And anything is better than having five different buttons on the side of the ear cup. I felt this was fair enough though, the more you use these headphones the more you get used to the operation. For example, I kept accidentally launching Songbird and auto-playing the irritating Samsung theme tune - an unintended tap will do that to you. The touch-panel is always-on when the headphones are powered up, which means it's fairly easy to do things by accident. This concept does come with its flaws though. Of course, if you've got them wired up you'll use the clicker to do all of this, but I anticipate most people opting to go wireless if they're paying for the feature. It works really well and it makes quick operation very intuitive. Touch gestures make the Level Overs very easy to use
They're very on-brand for Samsung, though, and look very much at home next to my white Galaxy Note 3. Some will like the element of bling that the shiny white/black finish brings, but I'm drawn to a more robust, adaptable and premium design. In fact they feel really quite cheap to the touch. They're made mostly from smooth plastic, which for an expensive pair of headphones doesn't offer the premium feel I would expect. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the design aesthetics.
The ear cups and headband are nicely padded and even wearing them for long periods didn't get awkward or too hot which is always a good sign. It's not ideal for travel, that's for sure and makes them quite cumbersome.ĭespite that, the Level Overs are still quite comfortable to wear. The ear cups do not swivel for comfort and convenience like many other headphones do at this price point, so case has to allow for a deeper fit. The carry case is the biggest I've ever seen for a pair of headphones like this, and that owes to the construction of the headphones themselves. In the box you get a rugged carry case, a 3.5mm cable with clicker for controlling music and answering calls, a microUSB cable for power and charging as well as the obligatory double-pin airplane adapter. The Level Overs are stiff but they do flex and they're comfy
