Product ReviewsSamson SR850 Professional Studio Headphones, Black

Still the best bang for buck headphones on the market.

Dollar for dollar, the best headphones available. Fantastic frequency response which actually improves as the headphones run in over their first few weeks of use. The open back SR850 have a huge sound stage making them great for gaming. They're a little tight on my head but the metal frame is easy to bend out a bit, making it possible to wear them for hours without any bother.

Suitable for the consumer audiophile who wants a much better listening experience to pros who just want a set of flat, no nonsense reference heaphones

I had a pair of SR 950 that one of my mates kids broke by using them as a flail, having had 7 years of perfect audio out of them I wanted another pair but couldn't source them fast enough. I'm not using my headphones in a situation where I have to worry about spill any more, so I thought I'd try the open back version. If I didn't like them I could buy the closed back ones as well and still have change out of $100. Let's just say I won't be needing to buy the closed back ones. Perfectly happy with the open back version.Read full review...

My impression for Headphone.

When this item came I was disappointed little bit because when I open the box there has no original box no manual... only headphone was in it.

Sound is between morderate and good, ear cover cushion is not soft... feel uncomfortable little bit.Read full review...

You can't beat the sound of them for the price

For the money I'd challenge you to find anything better good in every range especially mids. I read Bass was not to punchy I had not problems maybe head bangers may like bit more i'm passed that .I have $300 headphones that only sound slightly better. Build quality is solid i do get a bit sore ears after wearing them for long periods 3
hours +. But overall great product. Read full review...

Cheap doesn't mean Bad

I never write product reviews, but I'm so amazed at these headphones that I just had to share. Wow!
I'm sure there are better headphones out there but come attached with a high price tag. These Samson headphones have far exceeded my expectations.Read full review...

Best budget headphone with very good sound qualities

I did my research before buying. The Samson SR850 is a well known budget, open back headphone. I was tossing up between the Philips SHP9500 and the SR850. The SR850 was 1/3 of the price, therefore decided to go with it. My first set of studio headphones. I am only a beginner audiophile. I am, however, enjoying music a lot more with these headphones. I much prefer them to listening to music via speakers. You hear so much more detail. It allows you to hear songs in a new way. Your ears pick up on sounds and melodies you hadn't heard before. For me, it is an awesome product. And I've pretty much been using them everyday since I bought them. I also love using them for movies. They could be on your ears for hours and you wouldn't feel much discomfort. I do have fairly small ears however. The negatives are not much to consider. The cord is a little short; and the one I bought didn't come with the soft ear pads (but the ones on it are not bad either). Read full review...

Great value for money. Worth trying if you want something for your studio.

Really impressed with these headphones. I think it is good value for money. I am not a pro but for my ears these sound quite flat with a good frequency range.

Excellent sound quality at an awesome value

These headphones have some of the best sound quality I have ever heard, especially considering how affordable they are. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any aspiring music producers or at-home music listeners. They are also incredibly comfortable and lightweight.Read full review...

Budget cans with premium performance.

For price vs performance these are great. Comparable to considerable pricier cans sound wise. Comfort is so so, more comfortable then similarly priced cans. I purchased these as a cheaper option to travel with that I can take with me anywhere to enjoy my music without worry asthese are quite cheap to replace compared.Read full review...

Good sound, but cheap build quality and uncomfortably snug fit.

Good sound but OPEN back design that will cause spill when recording.
Cheap build quality - don't think the cable or the muffs will last long.
Uncomfortably snug fit - the wire head band compresses the head and becomes uncomfortable after a few hours.
Overall for the price, i'd recommend these (or the SR950) but only if on a budget.Read full review...

Best budget headphones around!

Very good set of super budget cans. Better than any gamer headset out :P
Only complaint is lack of detachable cable.
