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
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
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.
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?
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.
Love the cinematography in this review. I’m getting it for house music production.
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
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?
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. :)
This seriously deserves more views. 🎶
wow i feel proud of myself for recognizing the sample you used at 4:57, i've given up on you by real friends :')
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
Good attention to detail, loved the editing and great review! Thanks 👍
Thanks a lot
The intro is ASMR 🤤
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
Honestly, I just subscribed because I LOVED what you did with the color. You deserve more subs man.
THANK YOU definitely gonna cop those headphones
The fact that you can still hear some of your surroundings is actually a plus for me (for outside use)
This video quality though....
So underrated😢😢
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!
Thanks for your review!
Insane quality!
Keep it up!
Greetings from Germany
bro, when you put that Real Friends song on your track.. that’s when I knew I needed these. fuck yeah dude
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
The effort put into this video is amazing. Kudos!
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
nice videos hope your channel blows up
Cheers
That was a great video. Thanks for the review! Now I'm convinced to get these headphones.
Would you recommend these for playing bass AND for mixing? Awesome review btw
Your channel deserves some more viewers/subscribers, man! Excellent quality videos - keep up the good work! Subbed!
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..
I saw that you listened to Greaf and instantly subscribed. And Bones!! Great taste in music my man
Awesome. Thank you for the review. No filler straight to the point.
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.
Hi man. I love your review. I'd like to ask if your samson sr850 is still working up to this day?
Thanks!
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?
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
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.
Aesthetically pleasing.
This video is so nicely made and you can really tell you had fun making it! Great channel!!!
I just got mine today, so comfortable and good-sounding ✌
How were them?
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?
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!
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.
Just got one of these. Sounds great with my little blackstar amplug and my Les Paul guitar.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos but I just have to commend you on your slick presentation. Bravo!
Romit Varerkar haha thanks a lot man
Great review thanks!! I just bought them!
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
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....
I watched this video with them. They are awesome! Thanks for the video.
What a reviewer. Very cool video man. Serious question. Are these headphones good for mixing? Not just for tracking or monitoring
Did you use anything to modify the sound or is it good out of the box?
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 :-)
felt like i was getting ready to watch a movie lol good intro
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??
Great review👍. Your broad reviews made me sub u.😁👍 I appreciate ur work.
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
This was awesome subscribed!
geri911 thanks dude
Sorry if asked, but did you do all the visuals? Good stuff.
ThomasAndCathy Oliver yet yeah, I did all of the visuals, and thanks
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"
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.
Great video. Thank you.
Oh hello nice quality channel, I subscribe now. This is also just the video I was looking for just now lol.
Nice, and thanks
Great review. Just wanted to know How are these compared to the Philips Fidelio X2? As both are cheaper in price.
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?
he looks like the guy we used to know
ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do a review. after much research, i'm going to get me these samson sr850. cheers, mate!
I love the difference between the casual and competitive games being just leaning in more lmao
The Audio Technica M20x is also in the similar price range. Which one would you recommend?
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
Thanks!! Getting one now
Thanks man. ordered through your link.
love your videos bro, but I think you should take a look at some headphones from oneodio. I heard there a good brand
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!
Which is best for mixing audio and mastering samson sr850 or the audio tecnica ath20x???
these headphones are now selling in a twin pack for 39 Euros at thomann
Super review thanks for sharing
If harry styles and harry potter had a baby...
Incredible cinematography! Is there a version similar to these that are closed back?
Yep, I think they’re called the sr950s, and thanks
Is this better than phillips shp9500? In my country phillips a bit cheaper than this?, btw i use to play aaa game not esport
does Samson is the best headphone for mixing and mastering in fl studio?
nice review mate!!
Excellent quality review. Sounds great through my 8€ Grundig headphones.😄
Very nice review !
Its 4 years on now. If you see this, could you please tell me ,how are the headphones working after all this time
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
Hey man, what do you think its better, this or Sennheiser HD451 ?
Good to know because I wanted to buy the same headphone for my live streaming.
ayy nice greaf is fire
I am struggling now which one to buy, my first goal was to go for Sennheiser HD 596 which are over £100 on ebay but these ones are under £50 and I don't know, should I buy these ones if they promise a similar sound quality or should I go with Sennheiser HD 596 ( regards to the point where u said that Samson SR850 are far better then Sennhiser HD 451). I know the 451 are not the same like 596 but are Sennhieser ..... hmmm give me hint ;) Bdw , cool video bro, definitely u are one of PETER MCKINNON'S subscribers :)) good job and keep up! Just subscribed to you :)
The HD 598s are out of date now. These are a much better option. (Also, I only really discovered him last week lmao, but I do really like his videos now) and thanks
haha gotcha , really good quality content mate , doesn't matter for me if u are inspired from his videos or not as long as I like watching them , hope u reach 1000000 subs as fast as him ;) ;) I found you yesterday Bdw and yeah u put alot of work in there , keep up ;) And yes Sennheiser 598SR are quite old but still in a good shape , but I am looking for comfort and sound quality , and you say that Samson sr850 are far better then Sennheiser 596SR, init? did u try them cuz I didn't and I am so confuse now...
Yeah, I used to own a pair of 598s before my HD6xxs, which are the slightly higher end ones. The sr850s are like a cheaper version of the 650s imo. Really really good value. As for comfort, I have been wearing them for the last two hours mixing a beat lol. I have two piercings in my ear and they still remained comfortable throughout. Also, lol, I'd love to get 1 million as quick as him lmao, and thanks again.
Thank you so much for the detailed answer , well I am thinking to buy both , test, and return one of them, bdw I don't have an AMP, so plugged direct into my computer or phone it might be a small difference because the Samson ones have 32ohm and the Sennheiser 50ohm... so they might have a little less volume... But i will give it a try ;) cheers
Yeah, that's probably best. The 598s do have some nice features, like the detachable cable, which would've been nice on the 850s, but I guess that's one of the cost-cutting measures that they took. And you're welcome
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me. I’m thinking of buying a pair of low-end headphones. I would use them mostly for watching videos and films, gaming and listening to music. I mostly listen to hip-hop, especially Eminem, and British grime music, but I sometimes listen to some electronic music, like dubstep or trap, and some 60s to 80s rock. I will mainly use them at home because for travel I usually use my earbuds, but considering that my last headphones died due to the jack bending and part of the cable breaking when it got caught on a table, I appreciate wireless or at least good quality cables and jack. I’ve narrowed down my list to the SR850, the Ausdom M06 and the Audio-Technica ATH-M20X, which one would you recommend that caters best towards the music I listen?
PS: great review, very nicely edited. And thanks in advance for your help
Thanks, sorry I missed your comment. I also mostly listen to Hip Hop, and I like them a lot for this. I would suggest this pair if you value quality, especially if you use them at home. My second recommendation would be the Ausdom M06s, and I can't recommend the M20Xs. Outperformed and overpriced.
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.
right on for listening to greaf
Greaf is awesome
Today I got my Samson sr850 thanks for your honest review, I thought go to audio technica m20x , bt after watching this video I change my mind. Yp it’s pretty cool and worth for money (to video editing purpose) ❤️❤️❤️
Bub, if i'm just trying to get my wife to stop blasting the TV through the house, what's the most comfortable headphones I can get her? i don't care about how it's connected - though wireless would be a plus (needs to be low latency if it is), but the question is: what pair of headphones for watching movies and tv can i buy her that are so comfortable - that she could never say she won't wear them because her head hurts?
honestly this was some great editing that was done on this video u did a great job with it and piqued my interest in these headphones
