Our Verdict
Samsung Level Over Wireless
Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018
The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are better wireless noise canceling headphones than the Samsung Level Over Wireless. The Bose are smaller and easier to carry around, even if they are not the most portable headphones. The Bose are also a lot more comfortable to wear for long listening sessions, have a much better noise cancellation feature than the Samsung, and a much better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box. The Samsung, on the other hand, have a better app that gives you access to a graphic EQ and presets, so you can change the way they sound. They also leak quite a bit less audio, which is good if you like to blast your music in the office.
