Budget Hi-Fi

25 August 2019

Amazingly nice sounding headphones for the money. The stock earpads are cheap and uncomfortable - I recommend swapping them with AKG 240 Velour pads. There are plenty on ebay/amazon around $20 that fit perfect and feet great.

I also bought the Superlux model that shares drivers with this to compare and preferred the Samson voicing overall. Very flat and clear but with a bit more low end. Driving off a regular phone/PC DAC and they sound okay. Push a bit more power into these and you will be rewarded. My Macbook Air 2012 has an on board DAC/amp that is surprisingly powerful and these headphones sound wonderful (in general, not just for the money) connected to that device.

Buy This Before You Buy A Gaming Headset: Great Foray Into Good Audio

21 November 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

These headphones are nothing to snuff at. Amazing slightly V-shaped sound with sparkly well-extended highs and deep lows that rumble when it is called for. Detail is top notch and edges out a bit over the Monoprice 8323 but doesn't quite have the same impact as those headphones, so bassheads may be left wanting. The Panasonic RP HTF600 has a bassier sound that is not quite as lean but is more liquid and smooth than these SR850s. The Pannys compete with the Samsons in terms of the width of the soundstage but the Samsons are much more 3D and have better positioning, clarity, and soundstage in gaming than the Pannys. Well worth the price for an extremely comfortable pair of headphones with great detail and amazing soundstage. Works well as an all-rounder pair of headphones. Just be aware that these headphones are semi-open and therefore leak a bit of sound out and let sound in as well. Buy these instead of any gaming headset!

Amazing monitor cans at ANY price.

You always hear "these sound like $200 headphones for half the price" when reading headphone reviews. I don't know about the money, but these things sound amazing. They are true monitor headphones. These are not warm or fun or colored in any way. They have great response and will reveal harsh recordings. They do sound better than any headphone I have ever heard. The clamping on the head is comfortable and the pads for comfortably over the ears. The velour pads feel initially SLIGHTLY warm, but do not heat up like vinyl pads. They start at the same comfy temp for extended times. The suspension system allows for extended use comfort, also. I am really disappointed in all my other headphones I have paid much more for. I bought these over the almost identical Superlux. These come with velour pads and are slightly less. The Superlux has detachable cords but that was not needed by me. Go with these for your monitors and be pleased. Spend the money you save on better equipment elsewhere. You won't do better than these - different but not better. They are plastic-y but these aren't for fashion.

Great sound quality at this price

16 March 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

I have compared these against my Beyer Dynamic DT990, and Audio Technica ATH AD900x...priced between 150 and 200......
As others have said, fairly incredible sound - and at this price point!! The overall sound is close to my Beyer Dynamic Dt990. The bass seems a bit stronger, reasonable mids, and fairly brilliant, but somewhat recessed treble in the very upper reaches. And, I feel actually were better than the sound of the Audio Technica, as these have a very recessed bass and treble....
Construction is good, but will have to see the longevity of the "hammock" suspension elastic band. Comfort is acceptable at this price point, but is far short of the Beyer Dynamics, or Audio Technica..
For the price, these semi-open headphones compare reasonably with some cans costing 4 times as much. As with any product, it is a huge price increase for diminishing returns. They do not surpass the Beyer Dynamic, but come close to as far as sound.
Overall, these headphones may end up to being my "go to" headphones

Most surprised I've been with an inexpensive buy in a while.

28 December 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

These headphones are very impressive for their price range, especially being open-back headphones.
What I find weird, is the experience I've had with these are black and white with other's reviews. I'm not too entirely sure if there's been any revisions on these specific ones. A lot of people say the plastic is cheap. I found that the plastic is okay in durability. Seems like it wont break easily anytime soon. Another thing I should mention is comfort: a lot of people say that these headphones are very comfortable. Personally I find that these clamp harder than most of my headphones. Not to mention, the highs sound okay to me, they're not over-exaggerated in my opinion (maybe I'm already losing the top end of my hearing, haha).
Something I wanted to get out of the way before I continue: My opinions may be bias to some, because I have not reached the normal burn-in time limit yet (if you buy into that).

Now for the short but sweet meat of the review;

Pros:
-Great sound stage: Being an open-back pair, you can really differentiate different panning placements and the stereo image overall. 100% stereo sounds can be heard well, as opposed to some other closed back headphones. This is also a plus if you're a gamer, it really places you inside the virtual environment.

-Best bargain!: These are probably the best headphones in the below-$50 price range.

-Not-too-shabby for consumers/novice producers: While these are pretty flat studio reference headphones, they still deliver great, tight, solid bass thanks to their 50mm drivers. Every consumer's must-have. Not to mention the have 32 ohms of impedance; meaning it doesn't take much to drive them. You can listen to them on lower-powered devices like iPhones, Mp3 players, or anything that has a standard 3.5mm jack.

-Self-adjusting headband: The self-adjusting headband used on these (seems to be modeled after AKG K240's), are very convenient. You don't have to worry about taking an extra minute out of your day to mess with notches and getting them just right.

Cons:
-They clamp pretty bad: I don't think the newtons of force are listed anywhere on the site, but these do clamp down pretty hard compared to a lot of other headphones I/'ve have/had. The ear cups are kind of stiff as well, which doesn't help the comfort aspect to them. I've heard they can be super comfortable, but in my case, they were not.

-A little bit too much bass: For my taste, these have a little bit too much bass from what I'm used to in studio monitor reference headphones. The frequency response curve is a little tampered compared to other studio monitor reference headphones.

-No removable cable: If the cable breaks, you have to send the entire unit back. And there is only a one-year warranty on them.

-A little bit of bleed: If you're planning on taking these on the bus or anything, these do bleed a little bit. From what I can hear, its only the high-end of the frequency spectrum. People around you can probably make out what kind of music you're listening to, but they probably cannot make out words. This also accounts for if you're in a busy place: these only have the tiniest bit of noise isolation. So if your environment sonically reflects that of an industrial workplace--I'd recommend going with the SR-950's.

Final verdict:
Despite there being a few cons here and there (some of them are personal or situational), these you cannot beat for the price range. If you're second guessing your future purchase, just buy them already. In the long run, these make up for every penny.

Update: So I remember either seeing out of the corner of my eye, or remember hearing it in a review; but I remember someone mentioning they left the headphones stretched on a object that's as big as a human head. Just last night, I put these over the back of my chair (which is pretty bulky.) overnight. The outcome was fantastic. There is no more clamping whatsoever. Nada.
My suggestion to everyone who buys/bought this is: stretch these over something that's about the same size as a human head, like I mentioned previously. Something like the size of the back of the couch is ideal.
Despite the clamp being gone, around your ears still gets very irritated from the earcups around the 2hr mark.
