Our Verdict

Anker SoundBuds Sport Wireless

Samsung Level U Pro Wireless

The Samsung Level U Pro Wireless are better in-ear headphones than the Anker SoundBuds Sport. The Samsung sound better, have a more comfortable in-ear fit and have a lot more customizable features. The Samsung also have a better wireless range and battery life. On the other hand, the Anker have better isolation and will be more suitable to use in noisy environments. The Anker also have a slightly lower default latency performance, although the Samsung do have aptX-LL, which will be better for watching movies if you have the right dongle.
