Best headphones for Samsung loyalists

Instead, it's a better idea to upgrade them and buy separate earphones or headphones that offer a far superior listening experience. Before you do so, it's worth having a think about how you intend on using your headphones.

Are you planning on commuting with them regularly? Do you travel frequently? Do you love using Samsung's S-Voice assistant? It's important to have a comfortable pair that work for you. Read on to find out more about what to look for with headphones for your Samsung smartphone.   Read more...
