What do we associate the South Korean company Samsung with? Someone has TVs. Other people primarily think of smartphones. It is possible that someone will name smartwatches and fitness bracelets. But in fact, the company's assortment is much wider than it might seem. In particular, South Koreans are actively releasing all kinds of headphones. All of them are designed to connect to a smartphone or tablet. This is done either by wire method or using Bluetooth. Let's take a look at the best models available in Russian online stores.

Best Samsung Wireless Headphones

Samsung EO-BG950 U Flex

Rating: 4.9

Samsung EO-BG950 U Flex

One of the most unusual typefaces present in Russian retail. She has a flexible bow that will hang around her neck. At its ends there are batteries that are fully charged for 10 hours of sound. There are also numerous keys here. On the left is a button responsible for turning on the headset and controlling the volume. With its help, playback is paused. Below you can find the micro-USB socket used to connect the charger. Well, on the right end of the neckband there is another button – it is used to call one or another application (if the accessory is connected to a Samsung smartphone).

The headphones themselves are attached to the rim with long enough wires. There are magnets on the back of the headphones that attach them to each other. This helps them not to dangle when the headphones are hanging on their chest. An 11mm woofer and an 8mm tweeter are hidden under the ear cushions. As a result, it is quite difficult to find fault with the sound. The buyer will find powerful bass, decent treble and very deep mids.

This headset is mainly intended for use during sports activities. However, sometimes it is better to leave it somewhere in your backpack. For example, when cycling, you run the risk of not hearing a shout from a person or a signal from a car, due to the fact that the headphones are plug-in type. Also, the accessory did not receive water resistance, which is why it is better not to use the headset with active sweating.

The flexible design of the rim makes it easy to put in your pocket. It is also impossible not to notice that the 51-gram weight is almost not felt here – almost all of it falls on the aforementioned bow.

The Samsung EO-BG950 U Flex includes a microphone that allows you to use the accessory for conversations. However, there is only one microphone, so don't expect noise cancellation.

Advantages

  • Convenient transportation;
  • There is a microphone;
  • Long battery life;
  • Not very high cost;
  • Owners of Samsung smartphones will receive additional functionality;
  • Each ear has two speakers.

disadvantages

  • Micro-USB connector is used;
  • Headphones are not comfortable for everyone.

Samsung Gear IconX (2018)

Rating: 4.8

Samsung Gear IconX (2018)

The South Korean manufacturer is doing its best to catch up with Apple. As you know, the Californian giant has a gorgeous wireless headset, which no competitor can create an analogue of. Fortunately, the South Koreans are not trying to release a complete replica of these headphones. Instead, they introduced the Samsung Gear IconX (2018) to the world. This representative of our rating is much larger. They are explained by the presence here of 3.4 GB of internal memory. Therefore, music can be stored directly in the headset. If the smartphone suddenly turns out to be very far from you, then you can still continue listening to it!

Otherwise, these are typical Bluetooth – headphones. The shape of the earplugs is used here, so that the headphones do not fall out even while running. However, there is no moisture protection as such, therefore, after a run, it is recommended to immediately wipe the device so that the sweat remaining on it does not affect its further performance.

The device differs from analogs in the control method. The touch pad is used here. It recognizes both touches and swipes. As a result, you will quickly get used to how you pause here, move to the next track or even the next playlist, and adjust the volume. Well, if you use the S Health application, then the headset can act as a personal trainer – it can register various physical activity, and during the next synchronization with a smartphone, all information is transferred to the above program.

Unfortunately, most common speakers are used here. If the previous model reviewed can be called a two-driver one, then Samsung Gear IconX (2018) are traditional headphones that will not charm with their sound. But on the other hand, they have two microphones, thanks to which noise cancellation is implemented. However, again, one shouldn't hope for perfect work of this function. Three replacement ear pads are supplied with the device. Well, the autonomous operation of the headphones is provided by a built-in 82 mAh battery. This is enough for no more than 7 hours of music. Few? Yes. But along with the headset, you will receive a battery case with a capacity of up to 340 mAh. As a result, if you regularly put headphones in this case, you can get a 24-hour runtime. This idea, as you might guess, was borrowed from Apple AirPods.

Advantages

  • There is a built-in memory;
  • There is some noise reduction;
  • It is supposed to use a headset to fix workouts;
  • Weight does not exceed 8 g;
  • Fast charging;
  • The set includes a battery case;
  • Easy control;
  • There is a microphone.

disadvantages

  • High price;
  • Big sizes;
  • No moisture protection;
  • Far from perfect sound quality;
  • Low reliability.

Samsung EO-BN920 Level U Pro

Rating: 4.7

Samsung EO-BN920 Level U Pro

Another headset in our ranking that has a neckband at its disposal. Two hinges are flexible here, it is thanks to them that the headphones fit easily in your pocket. It should be noted that this model uses the UHQ-BT codec. According to the manufacturer, the sound transmitted through it is of the highest quality. However, it would be better if the South Koreans made their choice in favor of aptX. The fact is that only owners of top-end smartphones from the same South Korean company will be able to take advantage of the latest codec. The rest of the people will have to enjoy the mediocre sound they are accustomed to from much less expensive Bluetooth headphones.

The device weighs 45.7 g. Most of the weight falls on the neckband, the headphones themselves are attached to it with wires. Of course, there is also a microphone. Therefore, no one will bother the user to talk to the interlocutor without taking the smartphone out of his pocket. You will be heard perfectly, since there is also a second microphone – with its help the electronics are trying to cut off external noise. But another function, called Sound With Me, looks more interesting. If your second half has the same headset, then you can listen to music at the same time – the sound from one headphone to another is transmitted through the same 'blue tooth'.

These earplugs fit well in the ears. No problem even while running. A few keys are used for control – they help to pause playback, skip to another track and adjust the volume level. It should be noted and the magnets that are endowed with the backs of the headphones. This allows them to practically not dangle on their chest – one earpiece seems to stick to the other.

This headset supports Multipoint function. It can be easily connected to two devices at once. This is most relevant for those who have at hand not only a smartphone, but also a tablet or laptop. The built-in lithium-ion battery allows you to listen to music for seven to nine hours. A traditional micro-USB connector is used for recharging.

Advantages

  • Simultaneous connection to two devices is possible;
  • Extremely long battery life;
  • Flexible neckband is applied;
  • The headphones are equipped with magnets;
  • Microphone available;
  • Some noise reduction implemented;
  • You can share music with another headset owner.

disadvantages

  • Micro-USB connector is used;
  • Only a Samsung smartphone will provide excellent sound;
  • Some instances have poor microphone performance;
  • There are questions about reliability.

Best wired Samsung headphones

Samsung EO-IG955

Rating: 4.8

Samsung EO-IG955

Many people do not believe that wired earbuds can cost 4 thousand rubles. However, a model called Samsung EO-IG955 confirms this. Of course, in fact these are not headphones, but a headset, because there is a microphone here. But the high cost, of course, is not due to this.

The accessory is available in two colors. Outwardly, it looks as simple as possible. The user is waiting for the usual 'droplet-plugs' equipped with rubber ear pads. On the wire, you can find a fairly small remote control, which contains not only a microphone, but also three keys. The remote control helps not only to adjust the volume, but also to pause playback, as well as move from one music track to another.

Otherwise, these are typical 'gags'. Connecting to a smartphone or tablet is via a 3.5 mm jack and a fabric braided cable. The cable length is 1.2 m, which is sufficient in most cases. The headset comes with three pairs of interchangeable ear pads of different diameters.

AKG is involved in the production of headphones. Therefore, there are no complaints about the build quality. And in terms of sound quality, the product is much superior to cheaper competitors. The fact is that two speakers are responsible for sound output – their diameters are 8 and 11 mm. One reproduces low frequencies, and the other reproduces all the others. As a result, the sound is very rich and detailed. Although no one will argue with the fact that the headset still loses to expensive overhead monsters. But if a backpack is required to carry the full-size headphones, then these 'earplugs' easily slip into your pocket.

Advantages

  • The cable has a fabric braid;
  • Sound output using two speakers;
  • Convenient remote control with three buttons;
  • Have a microphone;
  • The set includes a case-case.

disadvantages

  • No moisture protection;
  • When connected to iPhone volume buttons do not work;
  • Short service life.

Samsung EO-EG920 Fit

Rating: 4.7

Samsung EO-EG920 Fit

The cheapest wired headset ever made by Samsung. At the same time, it is the most inexpensive representative of our rating. In Russian stores, this model is sold for 900-1000 rubles. Several color options are available to the buyer. Be sure to pay attention to the fact that these are not plugs, but earbuds. In their shape, the headphones are similar to a similar accessory from Apple, so they should not fall out of the ears. Also, the product is capable of boasting a fairly high sound volume.

Despite the low cost, this is still a headset, not headphones. The microphone is located on the remote control located on the wire. There are also three keys on the remote, due to which the track is paused, the volume level is changed and the call is answered. A 12mm speaker is responsible for sound output. Such headphones, of course, will not be able to reveal all the nuances of the musical composition to the maximum. But you will definitely not be horrified by the sound quality. In a word, it is ideal for unassuming users who prefer to while away listening to music for quite a bit of time.

Connecting to a smartphone or any other device is carried out using a conventional 3.5 mm jack. The cable used here does not have a cloth braid, so be careful with it. However, even the maximum accuracy will not allow the headset to last a long time. If you listen to music with its help almost every day, then the headphones are unlikely to last longer than three months. In fact, as you already understood, this is a disaster for all Samsung headphones – not all manufactured copies have maximum reliability.

Advantages

  • A large number of color options;
  • Have a microphone;
  • The set includes replaceable ear pads;
  • Low cost;
  • You can adjust the volume and pause playback;
  • Comfortable fit;
  • The flat cable does not get tangled.

disadvantages

  • The upper frequencies are poorly expressed;
  • Many copies fail quickly enough.

Conclusion

Now you know which Samsung headphones are the best. Note that it is absolutely not necessary to use them in tandem with a smartphone. The headphones discussed above show themselves perfectly when connected to a laptop or even a TV. Do not forget that now you can easily buy an LCD TV equipped with a Bluetooth – module – these are the models that Samsung wireless headphones can connect to. However, no one will deny the fact that their use with a smartphone looks more relevant – it is not for nothing that the accessories produced by South Koreans have not only speakers, but also a microphone.
