SR550 Headphones – Good product for home studio recording./ live monitoring flat response
I like these phones.. They give a very good signal quality.. well, they are domestic mid price range.. these cost me $35 on a discount deal..I think they were orig around $60-70 + so not too bad …They offer a good flat response which is what i bought them for… to hear the actual sounds I record… not biased with too much bass or treble etc which is what a lot of low – mid headphones offer.. The SR550 headphones are not the best in the world, but at this price they do a surprisingly good job of delivering clean sound in home recording, monitoring or live sound application at sound desk…. Would have given them 5 stars but the cable on these is terrible. VERY thin, Only 1/8th inch ! (2/16ths )Samson should sort thing like this out before putting a product out on the market.. How many sales will they miss out on because of errors in product like this?. Headphones takes a LOT of handling and usage, and the cable is the lifeline.. Snap it and they are kaput.. (unless you repair it and how many of us know how to do that?) Most customers will buy flat response for specific usage and dont want a flimsy easy to damage cable . (At the time I was pushed for cash so bought them anyway just to get by on my home recordings.) Be careful and watch that cable, dont snag it or pull it, dont crimp it etc or it will break/cut very easily.) its a great shame that Samson make a great pair of headphones like these, then spoil it all by connecting them to a ridiculously fragile thin wired cable? Whats the point of that?VERY easy to snag/crimp/snap or break that cable, so 3 stars only.

Does not dampen/isolate external noise at all
I specifically purchased these headphones because they were advertised to feature “noise isolation”. I have returned them because they do not dampen sound at all. I didn’t even bother testing with music.Upon receiving, I put them on and had my roommate talk. I could hear her, so she talked softer. I could still hear her, so she whispered – I could hear every word clearly. I have a very quiet ceiling fan, so I sat under it, and I could hear it operating with the headphones on. When I took the headphones off, there was very little discernible difference in my hearing. I had planned on using these headphones with and without music, as I suffer from misophonia (agitation to ordinary sounds – pen clicking, foot tapping, etc). I didn’t expect full silence upon wearing, but when the product specifically advertises noise isolation, I expect at least some dampening of outside sounds.When my cheap earbuds purchased at the 99 Cents Only Store work better than a ~$38 set of headphones, that’s a real problem!

Studio Headphones
Fantastic headphones for listening to music, audio books, playing computer games, etc. I love the noise canceling feature, makes it where I don’t have to have the volume as loud and can listen to what I want without hearing outside/background noises. They fit snugly and are comfortable to wear, even for a few hours (but did give me a bit of ‘hat hair look.’ They are barely over 3 ozs so aren’t heavy to wear for long periods of time either.From MGF site: Samson’s latest Studio Reference Series headphones offer exceptional sonic clarity and comfort in a durable, lightweight design that’s perfect for studio and mobile applications. They are a little too big for toddler heads but great for older kids, teens and adults. Having them plug in (and no bluetooth) seems to make the connection clearer without a loss of signal and so it doesn’t cut out at all.

Comfortable and great quality
There’s many headphones out there, but sadly most don’t work good and are bad quality. These headphones are great quality and also a great price! Nobody wants to spend a whole lot of money on something that doesn’t work good. Good thing that these work really good without breaking your bank. In this video, I show the simple things about them and how they work. I will be getting some of these for my husband for Christmas, he will definitelyâ enjoy them.*I received this product at a discount for my honest unbiased review.

The Samson SR550 Headphones are freaking amazing!
I have been looking for a quality pair of headphones for some time. When I came across the Samson SR450 On-Ear Studio Headphones I decided to take a chance. Boy Iâm glad I did. These headphones are super comfortable and donât give me a headache like most over the headphones. They have padding on the top of the band that goes over your head to prevent it from resting directly on your head. The padding around the ears is awesome, the sound isolation is amazing. These are great for music, watching movies on your laptop or even video gaming. They fit in 1/8â jack and comes with a ¼â adapter. The sound is seriously amazing on these headphones. I am totally in love!I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
