Our take on the Samsung Original AKG Headphones 3.5mm Earphones

The Samsung EO-IG955 is the wired in-ear headset Samsung bundled with its Galaxy phones, tuned by AKG. It uses two speaker units per ear, 8mm and 11mm, for a balanced sound, and a fabric-covered cable that resists tangling. The in-line remote handles calls and volume, but volume control works only on Samsung devices. It suits anyone with a 3.5mm jack who wants a light, noise-isolating wired headset for calls and music. Against rival wired earphones it offers genuine AKG tuning and a fabric cable, but no extra ear tips and no volume control on non-Samsung phones.
