TLDR: These are an absolute gem! Very comfortable and lightweight, and a really good reference sound in my opinion. At the price point, I wouldn't bother trying to get something cheaper after hearing how these sound.
Of course, everyone is going to have their own perception; I have read that some people think the highs are a bit too much. In a way I can understand that, however these are very clear and predictable and if the highs are a bit much I found it very simple to adjust EQ to shape the sound to my liking. I've been testing a lot of pairs of headphones lately and with some of them adjusting the EQ to get a clear and enjoyable sound is very much a process, but with these it was a breeze. Now, I am a bass head for sure, and these are not insanely bass heavy. Don't get me wrong; the bass is there, enjoyable, and accurate, but it is not going to shake on your head or anything like that. I have another set of headphones that has been the bass champion of what I've had, but I find myself picking these up for long listening sessions and when I'm working with video/audio on my system. I think these are a must, whether you want a good first set of headphones for a reference tone that won't break the bank or even if you want something inexpensive maybe as a backup. A must for headphone enthusiasts if you ask me.

SR850 Semi-Open Studio Headphones
The Samson SR850 Semi-Open Studio Headphones are designed to provide a linear frequency response, making them extremely accurate and great for critical mixing or music playback. The headphones' high frequency response is smooth and sweet, and the bass response is warm and tight thanks to the proprietary 50mm neodymium drivers. The semi-open, circumaural design reduces ear fatigue and is comfortable for long mixing or listening sessions. The SR850 uses soft velour ear cushions that fit comfortably over most ears, and the self-adjusting band ensures a secure fit. Whether you are recording, mixing or just kicking back and listening to your favorite tunes, the SR850 headphones are an ideal choice.
Equipped with 50mm high sensitivity drivers with neodymium magnets, the SR850 headphones deliver exceptional sound quality and clarity so you can mix with confidence. A wide, flat frequency response from 10Hz to 30kHz allows listeners to hear audio the way it was meant to be heard, with a clear commitment to audio accuracy and maintaining a true and natural sound.
Studio-quality sound
Designed as a superior reference headphone for studio use, the SR850's present listeners with an airy high-end brilliance, a true midrange that highlights subtle changes, and a low-end that delivers punch and pronounced depth. Rugged construction and premium durability ensure these headphones can withstand the demands of critical sessions, whether tracking, mixing or mastering.
Ultra Comfort
The SR850 combine an ultra-light over-ear design with plush velour ear pads and a self-adjusting headband. These comfort features ensure hours of fatigue-free listening, so you can focus on the music.
Semi-Open Advantage
The perfect blend of comfort and authentic sound, the SR850 headphones are ideal for musicians, podcasters and studio streamers. The SR850's semi-open design delivers a wide soundstage with solid bass and extended highs for a truly dynamic listening experience.
It’s fair
The headset do have a low quality feel , mainly plastic and light weight slim but strong headband. They don’t seem they will break any time , good build and look despite feel. Sound quality is not balance to my like, it seem they can distort with strong lows and high frequency at the same time , on its default mids & highs mite be to over power and don’t sound right when convine with the bass, but with EQ you can set it to: higher lows and below flat normal mids to eliminates the distortion and the bass can sounds much stronger, surprisingly the sound remains rich compare to other head sets when applying this EQ settings, the monopoly sounds sounds bright and bass becomes strong well balance with clear vocals remain, you can still spot the unconventional EQ settings levels at mids but EQ is the only way they will sound just right for me. Cable is find, touching the top head band produces a strong touch sound. Over all they can adapt and are good , cup ears do hold on place well and feel comfortable..
