Today, we’ll be reviewing the Samson SR850 semi-open back studio headphones and comparing them to several of their competitors.

They don’t cost a lot of money but the Samson SR850 can really sound good if you are prepared to put an hour’s effort into modding them.SR850s give you deep and rich bass and clean highs with a frequency response that extends beyond the range of human hearing. There is a distinct influence from the AKG range of headphones present in the design of the Samson SR850. Although we can notice an old-school-style headband, the newer versions of these headphones have more noticeable colors.
