Despite rumors ahead of its unveiling, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus do have a 3.5mm headphone jack, and they even ship with a pretty good pair of AKG headphones. But those headphones aren’t for everyone, and some are going to want to get a new pair of headphones for their new smartphone. So we’ve rounded up some of the best headphones available for the Galaxy S8 below.
Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones
These are some of the best wireless headphones on the market right now. The Bose QuietComfort 35 (or QC35 for short) also feature acoustic noise-cancelling which actually works really well. Many people like to use these headphones on flights, as it drowns out the sound of the plane, and allows you to just relax. These are Bluetooth, so you don’t need the 3.5mm headphone jack anyways.
