The intro is fairly long on this one, so the review starts at 1:06
I going to get this head phones thank you I need them for csgo
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.
Is there a microphone ? thx advance
Its fine i thought its asmr quite pretty relaxin
@@melty8392 Hey how is your pair? Can you hear footsteps and gunshots well?
The only thing more hipster you could do is putting viewers through the manual grinding of coffee beans
Lmao, maybe next time
i was wondering how long we had to watch some woman make a coffee drink.. ffs
To be fair, there's no craft beer in that intro.
@@SynthApprentice Nor vaping :)
So when you say hipster you actually mean useless and boring, right..?
This might be the best edited review I've ever seen. I forgot you were reviewing anything
(not because it was distracting, but impressive)
Wow, thanks a lot lol
FapMan The Fapper oh dude I agree. Only saw the video had a few thousand views. I was blown away by the quality
Thought he was reviewing a coffee maschine
BubVisuals I might get these but I can’t find anywhere if it has a microphone in it. If you could tell me it’ll be a big help.
-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
4:54 When you make a review for headphones but in reality you make a perfect beat for Lil Peep.
Lmao xD
R.I.P.
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
Definitely worth more than the headphones themselves lol
Is this better than phillips shp9500? In my country phillips a bit cheaper than this?, btw i use to play aaa game not esport
@@user-mb8ep5eq5m get philips
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 :]
id actually argue lower bass is better for metal, If you listen to any thrash metal the bass can sound muddy
@@HIGHTOP203 thrash metal is absolutely about the miss, personally
does it make any difference for games at all?
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. :)
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
wow i feel proud of myself for recognizing the sample you used at 4:57, i've given up on you by real friends :')
Love the cinematography in this review. I’m getting it for house music production.
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.
This seriously deserves more views. 🎶
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!
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?
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.
what do you think about misodiko? im wondering if they kill the sound
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.
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
The fact that you can still hear some of your surroundings is actually a plus for me (for outside use)
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!
Are they only good for its price? Or I can find some better studio headphones options even in a little bit more price?
@@angelicaamora11 honestly I don’t think I could get an equivalent or better pair without spending at least $100 I’f not more
This video quality though....
So underrated😢😢
After two yrs still can't beat these for price to quality of sound.
Are they durable?
@@FortuneBeatz I've been wearing them most days for a few hours at a time. My only complaint is right ear gets sore after about 4 hours of use but my two dearer pair do that as well. For $50 can't go wrong.
@@pgale Thanks!
The intro is ASMR 🤤
Honestly, I just subscribed because I LOVED what you did with the color. You deserve more subs man.
bro, when you put that Real Friends song on your track.. that’s when I knew I needed these. fuck yeah dude
Good attention to detail, loved the editing and great review! Thanks 👍
Thanks a lot
I modded mine and added a jack so i can have a removable cable, they're even better now. My favourite all rounder headphones
How?
@@machrx5 You pop open the plastic part that has the writing on it, there's screws you undo then solder the wires to the female end of a 3.5mm cable and put it in place, there are tutorials on how it's done
Is this better than phillips shp9500? In my country phillips a bit cheaper than this?, btw i use to play aaa game not esport
THANK YOU definitely gonna cop those headphones
Thanks for your review!
Insane quality!
Keep it up!
Greetings from Germany
The effort put into this video is amazing. Kudos!
That was a great video. Thanks for the review! Now I'm convinced to get these headphones.
Which is best for mixing audio and mastering samson sr850 or the audio tecnica ath20x???
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
I think you just got used to the sound, burn in doesn't exist
Did you use anything to modify the sound or is it good out of the box?
Awesome. Thank you for the review. No filler straight to the point.
does Samson is the best headphone for mixing and mastering in fl studio?
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.
Great review thanks!! I just bought them!
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
Did you use any AMP/DAC with these headphones? Do they need one or can you plug then directly on your MB and have a good experience? Great review btw!
I saw that you listened to Greaf and instantly subscribed. And Bones!! Great taste in music my man
Just got one of these. Sounds great with my little blackstar amplug and my Les Paul guitar.
I just got mine today, so comfortable and good-sounding ✌
How were them?
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos but I just have to commend you on your slick presentation. Bravo!
Romit Varerkar haha thanks a lot man
Your channel deserves some more viewers/subscribers, man! Excellent quality videos - keep up the good work! Subbed!
I watched this video with them. They are awesome! Thanks for the video.
i think you are the first person to give a detailed enough and simple to understand review of these headphones, i will definitely get them thanks to you :-)
This video is so nicely made and you can really tell you had fun making it! Great channel!!!
The Audio Technica M20x is also in the similar price range. Which one would you recommend?
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.
Bro, sr850 better than the m50x or similar??
Aesthetically pleasing.
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.
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?
Great video. I have been looking at these headphones for a while now. Main use would be for PC gaming and listening to music. Would it be wise to pair these with a DAC? I have been looking at the FiiO E10K USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier. What do you think?
Excited information about these. I was debating on whether or not to purchase these and now I'm going to, thanks to your recommendation and positive review
Nice, they are great
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
What about the sound leak.. is it too aggressive ?
Is it too audible while recording a song and simultaneously monitoring through these?
he wears glasses so maybe the sound leak is more aggressive with him. all that hair might also leak some sound.
MAYBE
The right side of my SR850's just suddenly stopped working for no reason that I can think of. I've them for 10 months and they were working fine up until a few hours ago. Does anyone have any idea how to fix, or even open these things without damaging them?
nice videos hope your channel blows up
Cheers
I find with my current headphones, when I am in a car I can only hear the sounds of the car on the road, would these block that out?
Absolutely not, these are open back, so I'd be way louder
Hey! Great review and nice video. Just a question. Are these 5.1?
Thanks, and no, they’re semi open back, while I’ve found be better in my experience
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?
I'd say just stretch them tbf. The band can defiantly take it
@@BubVisuals thanks
Since these are semi open headphones, would my microphone pick up the sound from these headphones?
Depends how sensitive it is. If your levels are low, then no, if they are high, then yes
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?
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..
Great review👍. Your broad reviews made me sub u.😁👍 I appreciate ur work.
ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do a review. after much research, i'm going to get me these samson sr850. cheers, mate!
felt like i was getting ready to watch a movie lol good intro
Hi man. I love your review. I'd like to ask if your samson sr850 is still working up to this day?
Thanks!
Would you say the Ausdom M06s compare to semi-open experience?
I'm also interested if I should get the Samsons or Superlux's HD668B?
Would you recommend these for playing bass AND for mixing? Awesome review btw
This was awesome subscribed!
geri911 thanks dude
HI can you help me please? i want a pair of good-budget headphones for listening to music and music production what can i buy Ausdom M06s or the SR850s ?
For production as well, definitely the SR850s
@@BubVisuals aaa ok thank you for replying and for your speed i also found them on ebay for 22 euros thanks
@@BubVisuals sorry again but the SR850s have any bass because i want very much bass in my songs and i like it also listening to
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.
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.
Thank you, just ordered a pair!
Good choice bro
ItsMeMora how are they?
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
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.
should i buy these or the audio Technica m20x? The sr850 is 15 dollars cheaper in my country. I want to use the headphones for listening music and watching movies but im gonna use them the most for gaming. I like the looks of the m20x more.
Nice review btw!
Fenno Walta -these look better....
he looks like the guy we used to know
hey that was nice... i would appreciate if you help me chose between this Samson SR850 and Behringer hps 3000..
I've personally never owned the Beringher one, but I'm totally fine to answer any questions that you have about the sr850s, and thanks
Bro Loved both content and quality of your videos. Definitely, as impressive as Ash Tailor. Lastly, i am getting one of these but how are they as compared to Samson sr950.
Haha thanks. And it just depends on whether you want open or closed back whether you chose the 850s or 950s
Oneodio pro 50 vs Samson 850 which is better in terms of sound quality
Thanks man. ordered through your link.
Its 4 years on now. If you see this, could you please tell me ,how are the headphones working after all this time
What a reviewer. Very cool video man. Serious question. Are these headphones good for mixing? Not just for tracking or monitoring
Hey man, what do you think its better, this or Sennheiser HD451 ?
Great video. Thank you.
Excellent quality review. Sounds great through my 8€ Grundig headphones.😄
Oh hello nice quality channel, I subscribe now. This is also just the video I was looking for just now lol.
Nice, and thanks
samson sr850 vs sr950??which one is good for mixing n mastering??i live in place where sound is much ambient..pls reply
Same build quality and sound quality only difference is Open back (850) and Closed back(950) if you live in a noisy place obviously the 950 are gonna be better
I just got one recently and a thing bothers me that my one doesn't go lower than 40Hz although it is said to have 10 to 30000Hz frequency response(Lets say 20-20000Hz). Can anyone tell me if you are encountering the same problem as I do??
Well there are no song that's goes that low so is not really a big problem
Thanks alot bro. I was concerning that my headphones have factory error or something.
Fantastic review! Just bought these after watching it!
How are they?
Chandan G honestly brilliant, very clear, crisp sound and really comfortable. Would really recommend them.
@@scottishfanta Nice. Thanks!
Great review. Just wanted to know How are these compared to the Philips Fidelio X2? As both are cheaper in price.
Thanks!! Getting one now
I heard it has a poor bass?
Anf is it better than sennheiser 202, edifier 840, tascam th 02 ?
Super review thanks for sharing
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???
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!
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.
I’ve got a little extra money and I have enough for the Phillips 9500 should I get that or save money and get the Samson too give you some context I like to listen to songs similar to or made by Louie zong
Hi, i'm looking for headphones that alows me to hear what happen aroud (like a doorbell or someone calling me) and my own voice while speaking, this semi-open design is fine for this?
From what I've read these are closer to fully open in terms of effect. You should be able to hear everything.
Is there any necessity to use any DAC/AMP with SR850? or Sr.850 itself is self sufficient?
32 ohm is actually perfect for phone or similar. you dont need a dac, but it is preferrable if you can
Sees Skyrim on the desktop, instantly likes. Besides that great review!
Lmao thanks
When you said "besides", at first sight I was assuming I read "Bethesda"
Are you still using these headphones? If so, do you still recommend them?
