Two pairs of SR850 headphones are supplied, and the specifications below describe one pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosed-back headphones seal you in, which is what you want when a microphone is open in the same room. The trade is a narrower, more claustrophobic image. The SR850 goes the other way: a semi-open design for improved ambient listening, allowing proper bleed for better stereo imaging and a wider soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat semi-open changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the rear of the cup partly vented, the driver is not fighting a sealed volume of air. The result is a more natural sense of space, which makes reverb tails, panning and depth easier to judge. That is why engineers reach for semi-open designs when mixing and for closed backs when tracking. The one thing to know before buying: sound leaks both ways, so these are not the headphones for a vocalist standing in front of a live condenser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDrivers and response\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 50mm dynamic drivers with a 38 micron diaphragm and neodymium magnets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz, wider than the 20 Hz to 20 kHz of the closed models in the SR line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 ohm impedance and 98 dB sensitivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent response with airy highs and pronounced depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamson describes them as suited to professional recording and hi-fi monitoring, which is a fair summary. They give you solid bass response and ultra-clear highs without the hyped low end that consumer headphones use to impress in a shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComfort over a long session\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe over-ear cups use velour cushioning and the headband is self-adjusting, so it finds a secure, natural fit without a sizing ritual every time you put them on. Each pair weighs 276 g and carries a 2.5 m cable, so they are made to sit on your head for hours rather than for a commute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable terminates in a 3.5 mm plug with a gold-plated 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter included, so they go straight into an interface or mixer headphone jack as well as a laptop or phone. The 32 ohm impedance means most outputs will drive them to a useful level without a separate headphone amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101142884608,"sku":"SR850","price":77.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/samson-sr850-01.jpg?v=1785434632","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/samson-sr850-semi-open-back-studio-reference-headphones-2-pack","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
