Samson describes it as offering absolute sonic clarity, designed for long listening sessions and everyday use. In practice it is a working headphone rather than a showpiece: the pair you put on to track a vocal, and then keep on while you edit the take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eClosed-back matters when a microphone is open\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closed-back design provides ample sound isolation. That is a recording feature more than a comfort feature. A performer wearing open headphones leaks the backing track into the microphone, and that spill cannot be removed afterwards no matter how careful the edit is. Closed cups keep the monitor mix inside the headphone where it belongs. The same isolation helps anywhere the room is noisy, which describes most home setups and every shared office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 50 mm drivers do\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 50 mm high sensitivity neodymium drivers reproduce accurate audio over a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, with deep bass, clear highs and warm mids. Sensitivity is 97 dB at 1 kHz and 1 mW into a 32 ohm impedance. That is a light enough load to drive properly from an audio interface headphone output, a laptop or a phone, so there is no dedicated headphone amplifier hiding in the budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for long sessions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComfort here comes down to three things. Oval protein leather ear pads sit around the ear rather than pressing on it. A wide, self-adjusting headband spreads the weight and removes the fiddling that comes with notched sliders. And a 5 N clamping force is enough to hold the seal without squeezing. Total weight is 245 g, which is modest for a 50 mm closed-back design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnections\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable is 2.5 m long, enough to reach from a desk interface to a vocal position without an extension lead. It terminates in a gold-plated 1\/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug, and a 1\/4 inch (6.3 mm) adapter is included, so the same pair works with a phone and with a studio headphone output without hunting for a converter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101144260864,"sku":"SR880","price":91.74,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/samson-sr880-01.jpg?v=1785434771","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/samson-sr880-closed-back-over-ear-studio-headphones-with-50mm-neodymium-drivers","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
