There are a plenty of headphone options for Samsung Gear VR and even though you can easily use the one you get with the Samsung phones, you might want to consider investing in headphones that you could just use for gaming on the Gear VR.
I usually keep the headphones that come with the phone for emergencies and tend to invest in headphones which I could probably use for gaming, music and other activities on the phone. Whatever might be your reason but if you are looking for new headphones that would go well with the Gear VR then here are some recommendations.

4. Bose SoundTrue In-ear headphones
If you want simple in-ear headphones then the SoundTrue in-ear headphones from Bose is the perfect ones that you should go for.
It is light and easy to use and if you do are not fond of using over-ear headphones then this one is something you should consider to pair up with your Gear VR headset.
The Bose Sound True headphones have an amazing audio quality and are light in weight and pretty comfortable to wear.
They have different fins sizes and ear tips in order to ensure that you find one that fits you perfectly. It is definitely one of the best that you could possibly use to play VR games.
The headphones do not completely cancel out the external noise so if you do want to hear sounds from your external environment or you do not want to totally ignore the happenings in your natural surrounding while playing any VR games then this is definitely a headphone that you should consider.
5. Samsung Gear IconX cordless earbuds
These are wireless earbuds and if you are using the new Samsung Galaxy S8 which has resolved the overheating issues then it is perfect for you. You can use these headphones at the gym and they are more like Sports Bluetooth headphones.
The headphones would last for 4 hours on full charge and are really small so you would find the weight of these headphones negligible. Technically it is fitness headphones but you could even use it to immerse yourself completely in the virtual World.
The headphones are compatible with every phone and you can even transfer music files to the Gear IconX(in case you want to use it for the gym as well).
Even though I have included these headphones in my list, personally I would prefer wired headphones since they do not deplete the battery life of your cell phone and as most of us would agree, Samsung phones have a pretty sad battery life and overheating issues as well.
6. Samsung Level U Pro
These are again Bluetooth headphones and one of the best that you will find under $50. These headphones have a pretty okayish sound quality but are extremely comfortable with an excellent battery life.
The headphones will stay intact around your neck and are light in weight hence making it really easy to wear for longer periods of time.
The only problem you might have with these headphones is the Bluetooth connectivity but since you would be using it with the VR headset, the phone is not too far away but if you are planning on using it in your gym or exercise routines then be ready to face some connectivity issues.
This is again a Bluetooth headphone so do consider this before purchasing, honestly, a wired headphone is way better when it comes to compatibility with VR headsets and if you are interested in looking at some of the over-ear headphone options then do look at the headphone recommendations for the PlayStation VR.
