Great headphones, great value

These Samson headphones are superb, especially for the price. I bought them for casual listening, but the audio quality is high enough that I would even use them for mixing. I cranked up "Dark Side of the Moon" with these and felt like I was hearing parts of it for the first time. They're also comfortable. I listened for hours while working on writing projects.

Good headphones

If you want to try open back headphones and are on a budget, these are the headphones to buy. These sound amazing compared to the wired earbuds I was using before. They're self-adjusting, which is convenient. They're fairly comfortable, at first they felt tight but I'm sure that's just because they were new. My only complaint is that you can't change which side the wire goes into (it goes into the left side), but the cord is plenty long so it's not a huge inconvenience. Overall, would recommend.
Rated 5/5

Exceeded My Expectations!

I mostly just got these to use as reference headphones for tracking guitars and vocals. Not mixing. I thought these would be "good for the price" or "serviceable" but no, they are just plain good. Excellent sound quality and very comfy. They feel quite durable as well.

I've owned several Samson products and they still have yet to disappoint me.

Great sound, great price!

When I purchased the Samson SR850,I was really looking at something inexpensive, that I could use with my Irig2. I can not believe what amazing sound they deliver! I use them for all my silent jamming, music, movies, everything! I am honestly impressed.

Amazing Headphones and Especially at the Price

Punch so far above their weight it's not even comprehensible. I've now bought 4 pairs and replaced all of y other headphones with the SR850's!
