Actually SR950 are even worse. The only difference is that they sacrifice resolution for more subbass extension to make even 10Hz audible but it aint worth it. Samson SR850 studio reference headphones offer an excellent listening solution for musicians, sound engineers and general music enthusiasts. With outstanding bass response and clean, clear highs, the SR850 headphones ensure complete comfort and accurate monitoring performance. The SR950 and the HD681 sound very similar despite one being open and the other being closed. Both emphasize the highs and deemphasize the lows and mids compared to the HD668B. The SR950 is not fully closed; without music, I can still hear some external sounds but at a lower volume than in any of the other 3 phones. Detail is high in both and comparable to that in the first sibling pair. Bass- The bass had become much more "full" and punchy it had lots of impact, it also has good extension and reaches very low, no doubt that these will satisfy anyone who listens to bass driven music. Why: Well, I wanted to try out various inexpensive (budget) headphones to get a feel for what's all out there. Here at HeadFi, and other online communities, there seems to be a lot of blind suggestions when it comes to a headphone that is popular when mentioned in a thread. My favorite example is the AudioTechnica AD700 for gaming specifically. The problem is that a lot of people are recommending that headphone for someone who wants a headphone for gaming, who have never even heard that headphone, let alone gamed with headphones sometimes. Anyhow, I wanted to find another headphone that was even more inexpensive and capable of being great for gaming and music and movies all the same. After doing some hunting around, that landed me on the SR850. Part of the deal was that it had to look good and feel good, not just perform good. Again, landed me on the SR850.Get clear, full-range personal monitoring for a great price with a pair of Samson's SR850 studio reference headphones. These inexpensive headphones offer many of the same feature found on models costing three times as much. SR850s give you deep and rich bass and clean highs with a frequency response that extends beyond the range of human hearing. Their semi-open design provides the realistic low-end diffusion and critical stereo imaging you need to dive into the details of your music. Whether you're looking for an affordable pair of headphones for critical listening or simply want to experience the finer details of your favorite music, you're going enjoy listening with a pair of Samson SR850s. Overall, the headphones are pretty light weight and are fairly comfortable to wear. I've put many hours into it so far and often found myself realizing, "Oh, I'm wearing the headphones...". When you hold them, they don't have a heavy metal feel, they feel like very light plastic, which they are. Plastic and vinyl. They seem to sit just fine over my glasses too. Open, Clear, Bright. Especially when compared to higher end headphones which often sounded darker. It makes those high end cans sound kinda muffled. SR850 is comparable to other bright sounded headphones i.e AKG's. As these are tuned superlux with better driver but same sonic characters(samson hive better rhythm, transition, speed and tonal character while having same sonic charater and fr graph) The mids are forward and present, very rich and with good clarity. The mids are not recessed or drowned out by the bass. The sound is very full and I find any headphone with solid mids and even a hint of bass will perform well in nearly all music as mids make up the bulk of what we listen to (from instruments to voice). Vocals are great, guitar sounds wonderful and piano was very powerful. I was very pleased in general with the mids as a lot of budget headphones are recessed in mids to make a bassy/treble headphone which tends to be more fun and popular. That's not the case here. Mids are full steam ahead.

Which of those options is right? Are the SR850 and 950 carbon copies of their progenitors, or is there something different under the hood? What, if any, sonic differences manifest?These are 32 ohm headphones which means you will not need external amplification to play these at a loud volume, I listen to these through my uDac 2 with no problem. spatial is incredible, Wide staging, with extremely accurate pin-pointed sound source. This is the only speaker that can gave me illusion of a center speaker (new sound source) emerging in the center of my front wall. I have 4 of these phones, and they are wonderful: the HD668B, the SR850, the SR950, and the HD681. The HD668B and SR850 are my favorites; they sound great with everything and I'd take them over headphones costing up to 50x as much. The HD681 and SR950 are nice, but I spend very little time listening to them when the other two are available.

Natural vocal. The fact, there are many headphone out there are much worse than SR850. This is the main reason why I bought SR850. The build is not flashy or extraordinary, but satisfactory enough to make me feel like they will last years. They are semi open, but don't leak much more than some closed headphones such as the RX700 or Dre Beats. When you first put on the headphones, you realize right away, they are not what you expect. These have a big sound. They have full rich bass and generous mids. The highs are very present, it's actually a sort of bright headphone and the highs are the only weak point in the sound if that's a problem for someone. It gives them a nice full sound feel with some detail etched around it.

Comfort-wise, the HD681 and HD668B are the most comfortable out of the box, followed by the SR950 and SR850; both of these are head-squeezers, although the SR850 was by far the worst, and needed stretching. The SR950 comes with the most padded earcups. These cans are rated "studio" which means that you probably have good equlization equipment to compensate for their murderous and sibilant elevation at 4-8KHz range. The sound is very detailed but fatiguing and there is no smoothness or finesse to it. Bass is a bit empty but sufficient. Upper treble is obscured by 8-10KHz so equalize once more, don't listen to them flat. Clamp is too strong and pleather pads provoke intense sweating. These headphones properly equalized and amplified turn into a magnifying glass or a microscope with which you may explore recordings on sub-level but you can't see landscapes with it if you get what I mean. Conclusions​ SR850 sound quality surpass the all it peers in given price range. It definitely can compete with higher priced headphones.
