They’re also waterproof and Samsung claims audiophiles will enjoy “Ultra High chất lượng Audio” (UHQA) when paired wirelessly khổng lồ one of its đứng top handsets.

However, with the jury still out on UHQ audio và wireless headphones general sound quality, can the Samsung level U Pro’s justify their $99 (£70) price tag?

Samsung cấp độ U Pro – Design

The Samsung màn chơi U Pro’s have a fairly typical collar headphone design similar to the Tone Platinum wireless headphones set khổng lồ arrive with the LG G5 later this year.

With the notable exception of the Audio Technica ATH-ANC40BTs, I’ve never been fully sold on collar, or wireless headphones for a variety of reasons. Chief of which is the fact they’re not massively comfortable to lớn wear, especially when exercising.

This partially remains true with the Samsung cấp độ U Pro’s, though as collar headphones go they’re not bad.

The plastic frame feels a little cheap but is more than rugged enough for everyday use. For avid runners they’re also water resistant – though they don’t have an IP rating so you wouldn’t want khổng lồ get caught in a downpour wearing them.

The plug covering the set’s microUSB charge port is also reasonably discreet & ensures the collar doesn’t look overtly chunky or out of place. Magnetic locks in the ear buds also make it easy lớn stop the cable flapping about when you’re not listening khổng lồ music.

Along the cấp độ U Pro’s right side you’ll also find the usual assortment of volume, play và pause controls typical lớn most collared headphones.

Wearing the màn chơi U Pro’s on my commute to and from work, I found they’re reasonably comfortable to wear. Once I’d picked và loaded the headphones with the correct sized buds for my ears, the level U Pro’s fit neatly around my neck and, despite not having active noise cancellation, were snug enough in ear khổng lồ block out most background sounds.

I was also surprised how light they are. Despite featuring a large battery Samsung claims offers nine hours of music playback, the level U Pro’s feel feather light.

Running with the headphones was a slightly different story. Lượt thích every collar set I chạy thử the headphones awkwardly jumped around on my neck. The bud’s seal with my ear also had an annoying habit of breaking, which created yet another distraction that stopped me finding my rhythm while running. I experimented with a variety of different bud sizes and didn’t find a single one that worked.

That said, these are issues I’ve had with all collar style headphones, save the Audio Technica ATH-ANC40BTs, which come with active noise cancellation.

Samsung level U Pro – Sound Quality

The cấp độ U Pro’s UHQA technology is being marketed by Samsung as a key selling point. For those that missed it, UHQA is a bit of tech available on select Samsung smartphones, lượt thích the Galaxy S7.

Samsung claims it delivers a true 24-bit digital audio experience “with up to lớn 2x wider frequency range than standard CD-quality wireless sound.”

I’ve always taken Samsung’s claims with a pinch of salt. The Galaxy S6’s UHQA “upscaling” tech made a best a negligible difference to general audio unique that 99% of people wouldn’t notice. What’s more, those that bởi will likely have invested in their own Hi-Res audio collection and a more expensive pair of cabled headphones.

However, when it comes to sound quality, as wireless headphones go, the Samsung level U Pro’s are solid.

Paired with a Nexus 5X the earphone’s vì chưng a solid job not pushing any one kết thúc of the sound spectrum. The 13mm Dynamic & 13mm Piezo drivers deliver fairly well balanced, clear sound chất lượng throughout my testing.

Bass, while not quite as punchy as the Audio Technica ATH-ANC40BT’s, is solid and delivers enough power to ensure audio doesn’t sound muted or flat. Listening to lớn God is an Astronaut’s stellar Age of the Fifth Sun while running, the bassline powered through without clouding the music’s overall sound.

Chilling out to some of Chopin’s nocturnes, the notes were wonderfully clear, và felt had suitable clarity in both the low và mid-range.

My only issue with the cấp độ U Pro’s sound unique stem from the way it handles high frequency sound. Treble’s have a tendency to sound forced & on certain types of music I definitely noticed sibilance creeping in.

Listening to the Clash, Mick Jones jangled guitar & Joe Strummer’s shouted vocals had a slightly sharp edge. The issue reared its ugly head again during a session listening lớn acoustic tracks from Nick Drake & Michael Hedges. Through the màn chơi U Pro’s the two artists’ otherwise soothing folk tracks took on an unwanted, slightly harsh tone.

The is an issue I experience on every wireless mix I’ve tested, so it isn’t a total giảm giá khuyến mãi breaker for the màn chơi U Pro’s. It just reinforces my belief people interested in unparalleled sound quality should still opt for cabled headphones, especially when they’re thinking about shelling out over £50 for a pair.

Samsung level U Pro – App & Call Quality

The màn chơi U Pro work with Samsung’s game android Level app. The app offers a variety of fairly useful features, including the ability lớn see the headphone’s current battery level. There are also controls for audio settings lượt thích bass & clarity.

It also includes controls for the level U Pro’s điện thoại tư vấn alert và notifications settings. Those that wish to lớn can mix the headphones to vibrate on their neck when incoming messages, calls or general alerts come in. If you fancy making your own two person silent disco, the tiện ích also lets you stream music from your smartphone to a second pair of connect level U Pros, though I can’t honestly think why anyone would want to do this.

As an added bonus, the headphones also feature a dual-microphone with noise reduction và echo cancellation tech, so you can take calls on the màn chơi U Pros.

Should I buy the Samsung level U Pro?

The Samsung level U Pros are pretty good as wireless collar-style headphones go. They offer reasonable sound quality, feature a useful companion app, và water resistant design. Outside of the Audio Technica ATH-ANC40BT’s these are the best collar headphones I’ve tried recently.

However, I’m still not convinced about collar-design or wireless headphones in general. The kiến thiết feels cumbersome, especially when you’re exercising. There are also significantly better value for money cabled headphone options out there, like the £60 Sennheiser CX 5.00s, that offer superior audio quality.
