Samsung announces ‘Level’ brand of premium headphones and speakers
Samsung announced on Wednesday that its premium lineup of Level headphones and speakers will soon be available in the United States. The collection consists of three premium headphones and one Bluetooth speaker system, ranging between $149.99 and $349.99 in price.
The headphones and speakers can be synced with Samsung’s streaming music service Milk Music on select Galaxy devices, while the Level Over headphones in particular can be paired with Samsung’s new Level app for an enhanced audio experience.
I cannot help but assume that this move was at least slightly inspired by Apple’s acquisition of Beats Electronics a few months ago.
Samsung Level products will be available exclusively on designer brand website Gilt beginning tomorrow.

Level Over
The Samsung Level Over is an over-ear headphone designed for an immersive sound experience. Level Over delivers powerful, clear, sharp sound, ergonomically designed comfort and wireless Bluetooth technology.
Level Over includes Active Noise Cancellation, employing four mics on the inside and outside of the headphones to cancel outside sounds. In addition, Level Over includes technology that prevents resonance between the vibration plate and the frame, avoiding unnecessary booming and helping to provide the original sound. Users can control volume, navigate tracks, pause or stop music, answer or end a call all using the Smart Control Technology on the side of the headphones.
