It's a good deal

First they need to be broken a little. Very sharp upper mids and bass are somewhat muted right out of the box. I let them play in their own box at a moderate volume for about 20 hours at a time. This seems to have smoothed out the upper mids a bit, making the bass a bit better. But I still use the equalizer function on my phone with a little bass boost at 60Hz and a little bass cut at 8kHz. Yes the soundstage is better than the closed models and even with some attenuation at 8kHz they stillโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Long delivery time

These headphones have everything a music lover needs in a pair of beautiful cases. First, their sound reproduces what the artist and engineer wanted you to share with them. The Samson SR850 semi-open studio reference headphones are accurate below without the coloring they offer. The middle is only slightly reserved until chopped for about 50 hours. The high frequencies are bright and relative to the rest of the soundstage. For some reason, there still seems to be an open discussion aboutโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Power outlet required

Full-size headphones/dp/B0013P3ZOES I've also been told that they are better than the M50s and much cheaper.

They literally have no bass - they play "sounds that mimic the sound of a bass but not what it sounds like" andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive

What surprised me the most was a cheap purchase lately.

These headphones are very impressive in their price range, especially open-back headphones. What I find odd is that the experience I had with them is in black and white with other reviews. I'm not entirely sure if there have been any changes regarding these specific changes. Many people say that plastic is cheap. I found the durability of plastic to be ok. Doesn't seem to break down anytime soon. Comfort is also worth mentioning: many people say that these headphones are very comfortable. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
