Product Information

Although the sound may not be as perfect in the Samson SR850 headphones, it certainly will be more accurate when played on other systems. To make it as easy as possible for you to get the gear you want, we offer a range of instant finance options. For people with large heads, the headband I think will not fit great, and the self-adjusting headband will also cause problems. With the Samson SR850, I could quickly pick point problems from my mixes that I sometimes tend to misjudge when monitoring on speakers, so the SR850 would be real handy for checking your mixes.

I’ve been listening to my Sony WF-1000XM4 ear buds in the meantime, and needless to say, I’ve been craving more of an open sound. Also I stopped listening to music using any headphones/earphones a decade ago (due to some personal reasons ?

The sound is detailed and exciting, giving you a great listening experience, whether you listen to music or play games.

You’ll get used to the sound after using it for awhile, but before then I actually found myself mixing in too much bass and mids trying to compensate for the ‘thin’ sound I hear. This is especially considering most budget headphones usually have a recessed or slightly recessed midrange. The 50mm drivers deliver exceptional audio reproduction for a wide dynamic range and accurate stereo imaging.You can hear all sorts of strange and interesting sounds going on in the background that feel like they’re happening inside your home, causing you to take the headphones off and investigate. So I use headphones occasionally to check my mixes and only when I absolutely must use them, for instance when I’m travelling.

Things seem to have more character; you’re able to get a sense of how the artist intended for the song to sound.It is comparable to my K701 only less refined and a little bit brighter (K701 is already bright sounding). We’re always led by this philosophy that you should invest more if a particular equipment piece brings more quality to your work. It’s not surprising, considering these are semi-open cans for a studio setting, but if you want headphones for travel, these are not for you. Some people assumed they're identical to the HD668B (cup design shared some more similarities than with HD681 line). The headphones fits and feels alright, though you wouldn’t be able to compare it with other headphones which were designed to be comfortable on the ears.

The SR850 Semi-Open Studio Headphones provide an excellent listening solution for musicians, sound engineers and general music enthusiasts.From a childhood fascination with sound, Peter’s passion has evolved into a relentless pursuit of the finest headphones. While yours are not the only good reviews, there are a lot of fanboys pushing products and it’s not all that hard to tell which reviews are somehow paid for through commercialism.
