Samsung Level U2 is a hybrid canal headphone with IPX2 waterproof rating and includes a USB Type-C port for charging.

"Samsung Level U2 features a stylish and ergonomic design for a comfortable fit," the company said in a statement.

"With its ergonomic ear tips, you can enjoy listening to more, for longer with the Samsung Level U2. Snug around your neck and easy on the ears, Samsung Level U2 is the ultimate in comfort, whether you're home or out for a run," it added.

The new earphone provides 500 hours of standby life, 18 hours of steady music playback and 13 hours of talk time on a single charge, the company claimed.
