Whether you're monitoring a performance, mixing a session, or just listening to music, you'll get professional audio reproduction. Every. Single. Time. One of the things that makes Samson’s SR850 headphones stand out is the build quality. Firstly, the headband is fairly sturdy and well-made, making it possible to even handle some pressure. Amp. Because the 850 is a bit louder, it really doesn’t need amplification, while the 668B could benefit from it but doesn’t require it. How to choose a headphone amp! Overall, AKG K240 covers the audible spectrum pretty well. There’s a mild “dip” from 1 kHz and up to about 7 kHz with some irregular “jumps” around 2.5 and 3 kHz. After the 7 kHz mark, it has a noticeable jump, providing a fair amount of high-ends. Sound Quality: Bottom Line

But at the same time, we’re not sure how long they’d last. This is especially the case with all the mobile mechanical parts on it. It’s not catastrophic, but you can’t expect it to last for too long unless you’re super careful all the time. Build Quality: Bottom Line Unfortunately, the Samson SR850s aren’t very popular because they aren’t very good. They’re incredibly cheap and affordable, but that’s the only real highlight.

First Impression The catch is that yes, instrument timbre and tuning on higher-priced models are definitely superior to the cheaper stuff, so keep that in mind. Pros On the open box, they come across a tad sibilant but do tame down after some burn-in, and this is further helped with the addition of the 2p mod, which involves taking off the name caps on the left and right side and gluing a 2p coin to each side. Essentially this is mass loading behind the drivers, thus reducing some resonance from the slightly thin plastic. With that in mind, we can confidently say that Samson SR850 are more than worth the price. Honestly, we’re yet to find a pair within this price range that competes with them. They’re comfortable, they have a decent build quality, and they sound pretty great. What more do you need? Price & Value For Money: AKG K240 I’ve heard rumors that the 240 does tend to break down over time, but I haven’t experienced it for myself yet. Comfort

HD668B scale up a bit better with amplification, while the 681 and SR headphones don't improve as much. Samson SR850 semi-open studio headphones might not be the most beautiful, but they sure sound incredible. The audio cable is also non-detachable and looks as though it may break with repeated use. These are budget headphones not meant to last. Comfortability 3.0 The semi-open design does deliver an incredible soundstage that is spacious. Detailed compositions that emphasize spatial placement come across perfectly. You can feel the surround sound atmosphere and immerse yourself in the music. The overall build and make of these headphones feels rather cheap. The plastic is very thin and flimsy, and the ear cup padding seems likely to rip.But then we have AKGK240 headphones that are one notch ahead of Samson SR850 comfort-wise. It doesn’t take long to realize their build quality (which we’ll get to as well) and how it impacts their ergonomic qualities.
