These Samson headphones are superb, especially for the price. I bought them for casual listening, but the audio quality is high enough that I would even use them for mixing. I cranked up "Dark Side of the Moon" with these and felt like I was hearing parts of it for the first time. They're also comfortable. I listened for hours while working on writing projects.

I bought these headphones specifically for rehearsal. They're very comfortable and caused no fatigue after wearing them for 3 or 4 hours. Sonically they sound fantastic. They're perfect for my situation. Sound good at a great price.

I bought them simply to monitor, and they do the job perfectly. No issues at all. The build quality is very strong. The headphones do feel cheaper in the hands, but that must mainly be due to the low cost, therefore cheaper materials. The sound is great, and no technical issues at all! Would definitely recommend for someone who is just looking to pick up a good set of monitoring headphones

Just got these about a week ago and love them. Big upgrade from my Sony headphones. Use them mainly to listen to music and record in Cakewalk.

Sweetwater's customer service as always was top notch !

These headphones are a great value. I bought them to use with my digital piano, and they have been perfect for that purpose. The cord is long enough to easily reach the port and allow me to sit comfortably in any position. The open design is great for allowing me to hear an instructional video while also playing along with the piano. I just bought a dongle to allow me to use these headphones for listening to music on my phone as well.
