    There are many reasons why you would want to look at some of the best Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5. Most people like them because they don't have to deal with wires so it's much easier to live with these headphones. Others have style or even brand considerations. Whatever your reason to pick one up, here are some ideal Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5.

    Why you should buy a Bluetooth headphone

    The Galaxy Note 5 already ships with a decent wired headset in the box so if you're not that picky about your audio peripherals and really don't have much use for a headset then you're set. You don't have to spend your money on a Bluetooth headset. Anyone who has used wireless headphones will tell you that it's much easier to live with them. They're great for working out because you're not tethered to your phone and you can also be at some distance from the device you're using for streaming audio.

    There are some things that one should consider before purchasing Bluetooth headphones, though. Wired headphones tend to offer better audio quality but if you're willing to spend a pretty penny on wireless headphones that will more than make up for the difference. Another aspect that varies by price range the battery life which isn't something you have to worry about on a wired headset.

    It all depends on your lifestyle and the reason why you're looking to purchase a good pair of headphones, wired or wireless. If your heart's set on the latter then let's take a look at our list of best Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5.

    Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5

    Bose QuietComfort 35

    Bose QuietComfort 35

    Bose is synonymous with premium audio products and the QuietComfort 35 is one of its most popular Bluetooth headphones. They provide excellent noise cancellation that can be adjusted using the Bose Connect app on your smartphone. Bose has manufactured this headphone with premium materials to ensure that it's lightweight and comfortable for all-day listening. The Lithium-ion battery will be enough to provide up to 20 hours of wireless listening per charge. It even has Google Assistant built-in so that you can control your music and more using voice commands.

    It ships with a wired cable that you can use when the battery runs out. Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones are the most expensive option on this list. Amazon has them available now for $349.

    Samsung Level On Wireless PRO

    Samsung Level On PRO

    Our next pick on this list of Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5 is the Samsung Level On Wireless PRO. They deliver Ultra High Quality Audio with a true 24bit digital audio experience and up to 2x wider frequency range compared to standard CD-quality wireless sound. Smart Command Touch Controls make it very easy to control playback. The foldable frame makes it a great option for travelers who will also appreciate the headphone's Active Noise Cancellation feature. Samsung says that the battery life is good for up to 10 hours of music playback.

    It even has features like Sound Share which lets you share your streaming audio with a second Level On Wireless PRO headphone. The Talk-in mode lets users turn ambient noise on or off while they're listening to audio. It also ships with a cable so that the fun never stops even when the battery needs charging. Relatively expensive, but certainly worth the money. You can purchase Samsung's Level On Wireless PRO headphones from Amazon for $159.

    Sony Extra Bass Wireless Headphones

    You don't need to look beyond the name of this device to figure out its unique selling point. If bass is what you're all about then you should consider these Bluetooth headphones from Sony with “Extra Bass.” The level of bass boost can be controlled using the companion app which also lets you select virtual surround sound modes. Settings made in the app are saved inside the headphones and the effects can be turned on or off by pressing the “Bass Effect” button.

    Sony says that this headphone can provide up to 18 hours of music playback on a listening charge and there's a standard 3.5mm cable in the box as well. There's no noise cancellation, though. It costs $114 and you can purchase this headphone on Amazon right away.

    Jaybird X3 In-Ear Wireless Headphones

    Jaybird X3 In-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

    If you're looking for an option that suits your active lifestyle then perhaps you might prefer the Jaybird X3 in-ear Bluetooth headphones instead. One of the best-selling options on Amazon, it's meant for customers who don't want their headphones to go all over the place while they're doing an intense workout or similarly intensive physical activity such as running, hiking, cycling, etc. They are sweat-proof as the hydophobic nano-coating keeps moisture at bay.

    The company says that users will get 8 hours of battery life on a single charge and that 15 minutes of charging will give a full hour of playback. There's no way to connect them to your Galaxy Note 5 with a wire when the battery runs out, though. The Jaybird X3 in-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones cost $124.99 and are available for purchase from Amazon.

    Samsung Gear IconX

    Gear IconX

    The final option has earned a special place on our list of best Bluetooth headphones for Galaxy Note 5. Samsung launched its activity tracking Gear IconX earbuds in 2016, they feature a heart-rate monitor and accelerometer for activity tracking. The Gear IconX can track distance, speed, duration, heart rate and calories burned. The data is then synced with Samsung's S Health platform so that users can get a complete picture of their health and fitness goals.

    Weighing just 8 grams per earbud, the Gear IconX offers 4GB of internal storage with a built-in music player so you can leave your phone at home when you're out for a run and still enjoy your favorite music. Samsung promises up to 7 hours of music playback on a single charge.
