Samsung 2016 New Level Audio Gear
November 06, 2016
1 Nov - Samsung announced 4 additions to their Level series of mobile audio accessories at a media launch held in Singapore at Elements & Co for the Samsung Gear S3 watch. To summarize the range of audio products, there are 3 in-ear earphones (2 wireless) and a portable speaker.
What's the Big Deal?
The Samsung Level range of audio products has been gradually growing over the past few years. With this launch, we can see the Korean chaebol is improving its Level range and is now offering very affordable active noise canceling (ANC) products for users. Let's check each of them out.
1. Level Active
Category - Sports Wireless In-Ears
Price from - USD 69.99 (Amazon) / SGD 98 (Lazada.SG)
Colors - White / Black
Similar products - Jaybird Freedom Wireless / Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless
The Level Active are Bluetooth buds that offer performance tracking by pressing a button on the right earbud to pull run time and distance data from the Level and S Health apps. There are customizable fit options where you can choose between earhooks and wingtips. Oh, and these buds have P2i nano-coating promising splash resistance.
2. Level Box Pro
Category - Speakers
Price from - SGD 198 (Lazada.SG)
Colors - Gold / Black
Similar products - Bose SoundLink Mini II / Beats Pill+
These are 20W Bluetooth speakers that measure 200 x 55 x 62 mm and last 9 hours on the trot. It supports what Samsung calls ultra-high quality (UHQ) audio and supposedly offers twice (512kbps) the sample rate of the SBC codec (328kbps) which overall, aims to promise a richer sound experience. Two can be paired via the Level app for a stereo listening.
3. Level In ANC
Category - Wired Noise Canceling In-Ears
Price - SGD 78 (Lazada.SG)
Colors - White / Black
Similar products - Sony MDR-EX750NA / B&O BeoPlay H3 ANC
The Level In ANC stands out for two things - Active noise canceling (ANC) in an affordable package. We had reviewed a few ANC in-ear units in our Noise Canceling Immersion series of articles and can agree that at SGD 78, it is quite a steal.
4. Level U Pro ANC
Category - Wireless Noise Canceling Neckband
Price - USD 78.88 (Amazon) / SGD 148 (Lazada.SG)
Colors - White / Black
Similar products - Bose QuietControl 30
Neckband headphones are the hottest thing in the market along with truly wireless earbuds such as the Samsung Gear IconX. Samsung improves on its Level U Pro by adding active noise canceling. The earbuds can be magnetically linked to keep the buds tangle-free. When unclasped, they conveniently resume track playback or answer calls.
Availability
All 4 products are available at Samsung Official Store, Samsung Experience Stores, Lazada.SG and major consumer electronics stores in Singapore.
