Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung Level Over

  • High level of comfort with soft leather ear pads and a padded headband
  • Intuitive touch-sensitive controls for volume and track playback
  • Strong wireless performance and easy Bluetooth pairing
  • Impressive battery life, rated for up to 30 hours without ANC
  • Premium aesthetic with solid build quality
  • Solid audio performance with warm mids and good detail retrieval

What we don't like about Samsung Level Over

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is only average and lacks top-tier performance
  • Large and bulky design that cannot be folded for more compact storage
  • High launch price made them less competitive than rival brands at similar price points
  • Bass response can feel underpowered or lack 'punch' for some listeners
  • Significant sound leakage at higher volumes
  • Full feature set (app integration, SoundAlive) is largely restricted to Samsung Galaxy/Android users

Verdict

The Samsung Level Over is a flagship over-ear wireless headphone featuring 50mm bio-cellulose driver units with neodymium magnets designed to deliver rich, natural HD organic sound. It supports Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX and SBC codecs for high-quality wireless streaming, alongside NFC pairing and active noise cancellation (ANC) powered by a four-microphone system. The headset offers a comfortable, ergonomic design with polyurethane cushioning and an intuitive smart touch control pad on the right earcup for gesture-based playback and volume adjustments. Rated for approximately 15 hours of talk or listening time with ANC enabled (up to 30 hours with ANC off), it also supports passive wired mode via a detachable 3.5mm cable. Main pros include its exceptionally comfortable fit for long sessions, effective touch controls, and broad frequency response range (5Hz–32kHz). However, the headphones are notably bulky and lack a folding mechanism for compact travel, and some users find the noise cancellation to be average compared to industry-leading competitors.
