What the fuck are you talking about?

AKG, JBL, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, and Mark Levinson

All brands owned by Samsung that make headphones.

Well you're wrong again because Apple also has Beats.

Samsung became a big player in audio when they bought Harman in 2016. In 2025 they bought Sound United, that's where B&W and Denon came from.

AKG & JBL - no way they would stop making headphones with those brands

B&W & Mark Levinson - not really all that strong as headphone brands but they have a certain amount of prestige just because they are expensive (and thus have huge margins). Might as well keep them around.

Denon they could/should shitcan as a headphone brand

No one hesitates to buy Apple branded headphones, and Beats products don't compete with any product Apple sells.

But if the headphones say Samsung, and the implication is that Samsung made them in-house, NO ONE is buying them. Instead they are given away free with the phones so that Samsung can claim they're offering buyers a "$99 bonus." That's all the mark is good for
