STUDIO QUALITY HEADPHONES UNDER $50? Samson SR850 review

[@BubVisuals]

The intro is fairly long on this one, so the review starts at 1:06

[@melty8392]

I going to get this head phones thank you I need them for csgo

[@chrischillyhill6289]

Hi there. I play drums in a band. Sometimes I use my electronic drum kit at gigs, and I wanted to start using headphones while playing live, as well as having a monitor speaker next to me. Do you think these would do the job, as I still want to be able to hear the band as well as what's in the headphones. Thanks.

-Very fast item spec rundown ✔ -Good vocalization ✔ -Cristal clear and direct message ✔ -High-quality editing ✔ -Quick video and to the point ✔ -You told us your actual opinion ✔ -Not forcing any downsides ✔ (I think atm is rare to see someone doing a review and not straight up hating on the fact that the item is actually good, most seem to try to force downsides) -But also not trying to force any upside ✔ Overall I think this has to be one of the best reviews I've seen in a while, thank you so much on the video because it was exactly what I was looking for ! :D

[@MithrilArtsandJewelry]

Broke my monitor headphones after 4 years and needed to find a replacement. Found the samson SR850 and ordered them. They arrived a few days ago and started burning them in. Last night, I tried them out, connected it to a DAC, played a few tracks and was so amazed at the sound it was producing! Daft Punk never sounded that good before in my ears and I could hear separation between sounds for the first time without using an equalizer. These are so comfortable as well. I'll most probably buy a couple more as spares because right now it's really cheap to buy. So thank you for the review. U were one of the few people I watched before buying these cans. :)

[@TheXMaki]

Wow. I was not expecting this level of quality video production and professionalism. Thoroughly and pleasantly surprised! Keep it up! Perfect review for the headphones I was considering buying. You sold me haha

[@thenarrator1921]

Definitely worth more than the headphones themselves lol

I found the stock pads on these to be the really stiff and hard, which was weird for a velour pad. I replaces them with XL brainwavz pads and it felt much better

[@ThePesident]

Just got these as my first non-gamer pair of headphones, and I should've kept bass in mind a bit more because I listen to a lot of metal/rock, but they're fantastic! Love them so far as my entry into studio quality audio. Also, I like your style :]

[@HIGHTOP203]

id actually argue lower bass is better for metal, If you listen to any thrash metal the bass can sound muddy

This video was a much higher quality production than I anticipated. You did a great job on it! And I am sold on these headphones as I'm looking for some cheap headphones for editing with as my main headphones are the V-Moda Crossfade LP², and they are certainly not neutral, and it's nice to test with various sources how something sounds.

[@WhatYadhuin]

The editing in this is amazing, was looking at buying these headphones and I am glad someone put time into reviewing a 50 dollar headphone

[@huntrrams]

Love the cinematography in this review. I’m getting it for house music production.

[@vipinningthouja5083]

This is the prefect headphone under 40 dollars. Being semi open back headphone, the sound is very realistic. The highs are very bright. The mid is prefect, and the bass is not that punchy but you can hear it upto ~30HZ(which is fine for most uses). If the surrounding environment is quiet, it is suitable for all purpose.

[@Darlagayle]

In love with the visuals, and got me excited for the sr850 I ordered. I appreciate that you also put in a sample track you made using the headphones. It wasn't that exciting I think esp mixing-wise (great beat tho!) but I guess that means you must have heard them very clearly on the headphones in spite of the relatively low volume. Thanks!

[@testoyt]

Hey, it's been quite some time since you posted this. How have they held up over time? Has the cable had any issues or have you had any problems with the headphones?

[@user-mv1cr4xi1g]

They are soo nice! If you want more bass, find the version with velvet pads, if you want even more top end frequencies, go with the leather earpad version.

[@oscarwong4201]

what do you think about misodiko? im wondering if they kill the sound

[@kjcsk8r]

ive been using these headphones myself for about two years now, and i cant sing their praises enough. for the price, theyre the only headphones id consider buying, but they still work great so i dont need to buy another pair!

[@angelicaamora11]

Are they only good for its price? Or I can find some better studio headphones options even in a little bit more price?

[@kjcsk8r]

wow i feel proud of myself for recognizing the sample you used at 4:57, i've given up on you by real friends :')

[@bigdipper1578]

Just got mine yesterday. After a few hours of burn in,it definitely sounded a bit better than when i first opened and used it. Overall sound is crisp and clear,bass is not overwhelming as this pair of headset brings out the best in mids and highs tho the bass response is still pretty excellent. It's totally worth the price

[@gorgnof]

I think you just got used to the sound, burn in doesn't exist

[@chrisjamesr77]

I'm watching this right now with the audio coming through my own pair of SR850s! I gotta say I love them, use them for at-home stuff, of course: Listening to videos, music, and even for recording my (decidedly amateur) musical efforts.

[@Juice-chan]

Great video. Just one thing. While I liked the light coming through your windows on top of the pair of headphones, I felt that the dumpsters in the back wasn't as flattering to them.

[@pgale]

I brought these on your recommendation thx so glad I did sound fantastic for the price very close to my Audio Technica's mx50x's at 3rd of price. I have one problem tight on my ears after a while and I have a small head.

Did you use anything to modify the sound or is it good out of the box?

Its 4 years on now. If you see this, could you please tell me ,how are the headphones working after all this time

[@astr.4]

ive had this exact headphones for five years and all i can say is that they are one of the best headphones ive ever used, hell id even consider it better than my airpods when it comes to sound quality. i dont need to say this as youve already said it but i wouldnt personally use this in a public space as the noise would just come in and ruin your sound quality. i just hope to try headphones with higher ohms soon and see the difference with this 32 ohm headphone and a 100-200ohm headphone

[@sanietariq]

Nice production!! Subscribed!! im looking into getting these headphones for general day to day use, and some music making. how bad is the Bass capability of Samson sr850?

[@bigdipper1578]

Clear,deep,non thumping bass. None of that Beats or Sony's extra bass sound signature. If you're a basshead,this one wouldnt meet your expectations..

[@matthewianmagnaye923]

Great review! Would you prefer this headphone over the Status Audio CB-1 for mixing? Which one has the more natural and flat sound profile?

[@mossiegee4674]

I have 6 of these for my home studio with regular use and almost no wear and tear....would have liked a removable cable though

[@scarecrow5848]

You should do a review on the 860’s! They’re now about $50, and they’re supposed to be a upgrade to the 850’s.

[@karanvij00]

There are some reviewers who noticed that the mids are not full and these headphones sound "thin"...which can make the mixes more muddy. Your song at 4:50 also sounds muddy. Is it because of the headphones???

[@anupamsaikia7320]

Amazing review of the headphones. This video deserves more views. Btw is it a good headphone for competitive games? Or should i get the dtx 910

[@SynthApprentice]

Gaming has different demands than studio use for headphones. These would be a lot better than general purpose ear buds, but maybe not as good as a decent quality set of gaming headphones.

[@DefcampMelderonTV]

Great review thanks!! I just bought them!

[@mercho_music]

What a reviewer. Very cool video man. Serious question. Are these headphones good for mixing? Not just for tracking or monitoring

genuine question: does it ever get annoying having the long hair inbetween your ears and the headphones? idk i just feel like it might mute the sound a bit or be physically irritating

[@justintheoreo]

I have these headphones, and I love the earpads and sound, but after only like 20 minutes, I get a headache because the clamping force is too high for me. Any ideas on how to loosen it up?

This video was a pleasure to watch, I just found out about the SR850 and I'm wondering how good would it be for me to replace my HyperX Cloud 2 with these, I only use the headphone part since I have a Blue Yeti mic.

[@BubVisuals]

Thanks. And yeah, you'd get a massive improvement from the Clouds. While they are without a doubt, one of the best gaming headsets in terms of audio quality, the SR850s will sound so much better.

Nice vid! I know that people's heads vary in shape and size, are these headphones comfortable over 2-3 hours when wearing glasses? Also, do you know how these compare to the Sony MDR7506? I'd be using them primarily for watching movies, hooked up to a decent Yamaha receiver. Thanks!

[@BubVisuals]

Yeah, I found them to be really comfortable. And actually I have, as my friend has a pair of the Sony ones. Personally, I prefer a cleaner sound, so I much prefer the Samson’s, but the bass on the Sony headphones was really good. I don’t remember how comfortable they were, but the Samson’s were memorably comfortable.
