SAMSON SR950 Professional Studio Reference Headphones, black

Samson SR950 is close back headphone. It can be used for tracking(less spill or leakage of sound), Mixing and Listening. This comes with good frequency range response somewhere between 14hz - 15000hz. No extra coloring of audio such Bass Boost or Treble Boost because it is designed to give transparent results.Come with good quality fixed 2.5 meter cable and interchangeable 1/4" and 1/8" stereo jacks (No Mic). Ideal for Recording, Mixing works. Can also be used with mobile phones for listening music who likes No Nonsense Audio.Headphone is light weight and cans are relatively comfortable compared to all similar headphones ( I also own Audio Technica ATH M40 which is way more expensive).In this budget, this headphone is great for the purpose.

DisclaimerI would like to state these observations have all been done via plugging through a sound interface and correcting the sound frequencies then playing the highest available quality of Music available present(24bit/96khz) , Its A Studio Reference Headphone not a Headphone of Truth that you will plug it into anything and expect a 64kbps mp3 to sound like fine wine . Invest In other things as well like an headphone amplifier( it has 32 ohm impedance so you don't have to worry about powering it up) and decent lossless file quality. If you want to enjoy the finer things in life you have to put in the effort.Writing This review as A Musician and Audiophile.I purchased these cans because i already have its Famous Cousin SR850( they are Legendary in their own sense) and also these were the only studio headphones that have Velour earcups in them , which is non existent in this price range you will get them in higher ranges above 10k and i prefer them over leather because leather disintegrates over times and its a total mess . I have read lot of reviews from HI-Fi and others sites most of the veterans and noobs are swearing and going to say that these sound triple what they are priced. As i had the SR850 i knew that these were not false claimsThe Sound QualityInitially when you listen through them , you will be disappointed but don't worry I ran through Isotek Burn in Full system Enhancer a couple of times ( For people who are wondering its a set of flac audio files that open up and burn in all the frequencies this headphone has to offer) , after running a couple of times i could notice the changes and the frequencies becoming more profound) , its been 24 hours and the sound quality is every bit people keep raving about The mids are delectable , the highs are bit piercing but not uncomfortable still manageable , the Lows are tasty not too overbearing appropriate( if you're basshead don't expect your mind to disintegrate but yes its not distorted) , Noise isolation is good , no Complaints will help me a lot.Build QualityI really don't care How they look , Its plasticky , at this price point i dont expect a Louvre masterpiece however , the clamps are bit tight you will have to remove them from time to time for prolonged listening session.OverallIf you care for the sound quality and only the sound quality and not fancy names and showing off to your peers , Go for this Eyes Closed.

I've worn several cans over the last decade or so and this is definitely one of the best ever. These are tuned beautifully with a mild boost in the upper mids but without compromising the intended authenticity of sound. I found these better than Audio Technica M30X and AKG K72 for monitoring and light mixing / mastering as they seemed to offer a more balanced output (AT is marginally biased towards the highs and the AKG has a noticeable drop in the mids).For the price, these headphones offer remarkable value, comfort and of course - excellent audio reproduction.

It's a ok headphones but there are too much of highs you will need a eq to fix them which is a big draw back at this price point, Instead of Samson Sr 950 I will Recommend to go for Samson z35 if you are going for a good close back headphones...

I thought my old headphones (Superlux HD662 monitor) were really good. This is a step above. Bass is deep and the soundstage is really better. The mids are clear, the highs are sharp and overwhelming. I thought there was sibilance, but it turned out to be bad audio source. I put some cotton padding to reduce the highs. An amp is not required to use this headphone but with an amplifier these perform better. Bass is much better with an amp compared to not using one. Plus with an amp you can listen at lower volume than required.The sound isolation in these are just OK. I mean you can hear the door bell or kids shouting and screaming (a bit faintly) while playing. You can drown the outside noise if you listen at high volume but it will definitely kill your ears fast.I haven't heard any Sennheiser or AKG's or any other brand so cannot make a comparison between these and them.

Great headphones for monitoring. Sound is on the bright side. Needed stretching as clamping force is too much. Great value for money. Ordered brainwavz xl suede for it to make it have more bass. Lets see how it goes.Update: Jack wire became loose sound started cutting off on one side. Only plays from both in a fixed arrangment now.

This product from samson is really great the highs mids and lows are balanced, these headphones are great for music producers like me, it serves the purpose of tracking and mixingreally well. Really impressed with the product. I can hear all the 808 s clearly, these cans are really accurate.... The soundstage is also good. I would recommend it for the producers out there.

Absolutely Garbage Product, Stay away from this... It may be defective piece however I was denied replacement...

Comfortable and decent sound quality for the price. I have 6 pairs now and use them for recording bands in the studio. No complaints from anyone. Cable is pretty good too compared to some other cheap headphones.

J'ai le Samson SR 850 (excellent casque, plébiscité sur les forums audiophiles anglophones) et ce Samson SR 950 se distingue par une meilleur finition qui fait clairement moins cheap. Au niveau de la qualité sonore, j'ai une préférence pour le SR 850 mais ce SR 950 s'en sort très très bien. Le prix est très honnête au vu de la qualité du produit. Ce casque n'a rien à envier aux casques de plus de 100 euros. Je suis un fan de Samson désormais, cette marque est ultra sous cotée. Excellent rapport qualité/ prix franchement. Je recommande à 200%.

Würde aber ein audiointerface empfehlen

These headphones are exactly what you would expect if you are familiar with Samson products: excellent sound and quality - surprisingly low price. (No, I do not work for or represent Samson - I have just never been disappointed with any of their products.) The first thing I needed to do after plugging these headphones in was to change all my EQ settings to flat. These headphones really do give a flat frequency response - see the attached photo. The sound is clear, clean, and true. Please note, they are large: 50 mm drivers are 50 mm. (The drivers cannot be folded or smashed to make them smaller.) But the auto-adjusting fit and large overstrap, along with the cloth padding make them quite comfortable. I was able to wear them 4-5 hours at a time from day one. I have to push these pretty hard to get distortion or breaking up - but by then, they are way too loud for my ears. I like the thickness, strength, and flexibility of the cable, and I also like the fact that the 1/4" adapter actually screws onto the 1/8" plug. That's a nice, tight connection. On a final note, just before throwing out the box, I realised that the molded holder inside the box would make an excellent, safe holder on my desk. I spray painted it black and that did it. I believe with a little glue and creativity it would also work vertically. I am quite pleased with these headphones.

Comfortable, good sound quality, and nice sound isolation. Cable ended up melting and twisting off after a single roadtrip. Must have been in the sun for a bit too long. Build quality is okay otherwise.
