5 Best Wireless Headphones For Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has some excellent audio quality — there’s some decent treble and high mids, though the lack of bass leaves you wanting more. One of the downsides of the Galaxy S8 that Samsung didn’t improve on over the Galaxy S7 is the loudness levels — you can’t get the phone to play music very loudly at all. And at the loudness levels that the Galaxy S8 does reach, the sound easily gets distorted. That said, you might want to consider alternative options for listening to music with the phone, such as the Galaxy S8.

With so many wireless headphones available on the market right now, which pair do you choose? If you follow along below, we’ll show you the best options for the Samsung Galaxy S8. Here are our top picks.

 

Jaybird X3

If you haven’t heard of the Jaybird X3’s before, you’ve probably been living under a rock — these are some of the best off-brand headphones that you can buy right now. Connect these over Bluetooth to your Galaxy S8, and your audio quality is transformed into something of magic. Jaybird has been able to pack some phenomenal quality into such a small package.

These headphones are optimal for all walks of life. They’re great for casual listening, such as in a coffee shop or office. But they’re also great for fitness activities — with perspiration and water resistance, sweat and rain won’t destroy the Jaybird X3’s. Not only that, but eight hours of listening time on a single charge means you can go through longer gym sessions without having to worry about battery life.

Beats PowerBeats3

The Jaybird X3’s are a great listening experience, but some folks prefer their favorite brands, such as Beats. Beats make a great alternative to the Jaybird X3’s, and those are the PowerBeats3. The audio quality is similar in a lot of ways, though the PowerBeats3 might have a more pronounced bass. Still, the PowerBeats3’s are great for all-day listening to sessions because of the sheer amount of comfort they have. They even come with extra wingtips if the default ones don’t fit your ear correctly.

You’ll get excellent battery life out of these wireless headphones, too. A single charge can get you a full twelve hours of music playback, and if you run out of juice, you can put these on the wire for fifteen minutes for an extra hour of listening.

Beats Solo3

Sometimes earbuds just don’t cut out, and you want a pair of full-size headphones — the Beats Solo3’s are perfect for just that. Beats and Apple have been able to pack some excellent audio quality in the Beats Solo3 that compete with even many studio-level headphones. As usual, Beats has hit the nail on the head with the perfect blend between treble, mids, and bass.

Beats Solo3 owners will love the amount of comfort that these headphones provide — these take on the over the ear style and have some nice padded ear cups. You can use them in wireless over Bluetooth or in wired mode with the included 3.5mm audio jack.

Soundmoov

The Soundmoov’s are last up on our list but are most optimal for those that don’t want to spend a whole lot of many on wireless headphones. These won’t cost you a lot but do have some excellent audio quality in them. That said, they do have their cons — try and turn these headphones up and sound quality gets distorted. The optimal range for these is about 50%.

They do have some decent battery life. A single charge gets you about 2.5 hours of music playback, but if you need a quick boost, throw them in the included charging case to juice up quickly.
