Samsung Level

Samsung Level for Android is the official companion app for owners of Samsung’s Level audio hardware. In other words, in which Samsung Level is the control interface for the headphones, earbuds, and speakers in that family of products.

What You Get with Level Hardware

This app delivers its value through strong integration with Samsung’s Bluetooth audio devices. The SoundAlive effects allow you to modify sound fields according to your preference. The volume monitor will keep track of your exposure and will send listening fatigue notifications if you keep the volume up for too long. The connected headset reads your incoming calls, messages, and calendar events which is useful when working out or while you are travelling. You will get call and a missed call alerts but not all the features will work unless you are using a Samsung smartphone. For ultra high quality audio streaming, you will need Samsung Galaxy S6 and its later versions.

The app pairs your Level devices via Bluetooth quickly, has shortcuts to your favorite apps, and switches ANC (active noise cancellation) on and off for compatible models. Connecting audio device is easy and sound customizations let you have true control over your listening experience. This software is free, no ads, no push for in-app purchases.

The Samsung-Only Catch

Samsungs hardware is all that matters for this app to work. If you’re using other brands’ headphones, it won’t recognize them either. It only recognizes Samsung audio products. User feedback suggests that Samsung may be trying to make devices compatible but it varies by device. Members of the community reported connection issues when swapping devices, claiming that their previously paired Level headphones won’t connect to the new phone. What if you are operating the app on an Android that is not Samsung? You will lose out on most of the features because you need a newer Samsung phone to use all of them.

The notifications about missed calls and reads the voice will work only if you give the app access to it. It’s nothing wrong with this per se, but do keep it in mind before you install.

Who This App Actually Serves

Samsung Level aims for a small target audience. It targets people who already use Samsung audio devices. And who already own a Samsung phone. Imagine it as a special tool that cannot be of much use to someone other than its intended users. The headset app is particularly helpful for pairing your Level devices when you want to take control over the SoundAlive effects and ANC settings. However, it has stiff competition from wider audio managers that work operated by various brands.

The reality? If you have Level headphones and a recent Galaxy device, download this app as it works as it should. You can change settings even offline, but that’s a small comfort considering that the whole point is to buy certain hardware to get the full value. Samsung Level gear owners will love this latest accessory. And for everyone else? Well, it’ll be invisible.
