Samson SR850 Traditional Wired Headphones, Black m

Product Information

This is all presented in a soundstage that is wide and has rather impeccable imaging. The sound is the most transparent I've heard extensively(the previous best being the M50). The build is not flashy or extraordinary, but satisfactory enough to make me feel like they will last years. They are semi open, but don't leak much more than some closed headphones such as the RX700 or Dre Beats. The SR950 and the HD681 sound very similar despite one being open and the other being closed. Both emphasize the highs and deemphasize the lows and mids compared to the HD668B. The SR950 is not fully closed; without music, I can still hear some external sounds but at a lower volume than in any of the other 3 phones. Detail is high in both and comparable to that in the first sibling pair.

HIGHS :: the highs could use a little work in my opinion in not really sure how to describe it but i just wasn't impressed with the highs but after some EQing they are more than acceptable no real qualms here after the EQ

MIDS :: im not sure how to explain the mids... but i haven't had an issue with the sound( middle frequencies ) Bass- The bass had become much more "full" and punchy it had lots of impact, it also has good extension and reaches very low, no doubt that these will satisfy anyone who listens to bass driven music. Confusion Regarding Faked / Photoshopped Pleather Superlux Lookalike​ I have mine from online retail er; which the preview showing the faked superlux (pleather) with SR850 stamp on it. I received several days later an original SR850, with velour pads. The original one as in www. samsontech.com. Actually SR950 are even worse. The only difference is that they sacrifice resolution for more subbass extension to make even 10Hz audible but it aint worth it. I can't think of a better value in headphones than these or their very similar cousin, the Superlux 668B.These cans are rated "studio" which means that you probably have good equlization equipment to compensate for their murderous and sibilant elevation at 4-8KHz range. The sound is very detailed but fatiguing and there is no smoothness or finesse to it. Bass is a bit empty but sufficient. Upper treble is obscured by 8-10KHz so equalize once more, don't listen to them flat. Clamp is too strong and pleather pads provoke intense sweating. These headphones properly equalized and amplified turn into a magnifying glass or a microscope with which you may explore recordings on sub-level but you can't see landscapes with it if you get what I mean. I have 4 of these phones, and they are wonderful: the HD668B, the SR850, the SR950, and the HD681. The HD668B and SR850 are my favorites; they sound great with everything and I'd take them over headphones costing up to 50x as much. The HD681 and SR950 are nice, but I spend very little time listening to them when the other two are available. value i rated this a four... i didnt rate it a five simply because you cant really assess value without comparison and i have no real headphone experience i can draw from i cant exactly say these are the best value ... but as far as i can tell they are a very good value and couldn't be happier LOWS :: the bass has some nice punch to it .. you cant feel it in your chest... and it doesn't "slap hella hard" but ive never thought that i need more bass in any song these headphones do a very good job and i cant see anyone aside from a huge basshead wanting more ..
