Listening Experience: BestMixing/Mastering job: Quite GoodLong Duration use: goodI know its straightaway unfair to give an opinion without having tested the other contemporaries but believe it or not its damn good! On my behalf i already have tested the AK* headphones (worth around 10K) on one of my projects and it sounded good, but the Samson has quite natural reproduction of frequencies especially the lower frequencies (since this where most of the budget editors struggle) and you would be surprised it sounded nothing different to the AK* ones. The fun loving music listeners will find this even more interesting (especially because its 3.5mm primarily) because this headphone sound less harsh under loud music and brings the rich bass that's hidden in the track, and for a normal listener it would sound as if they are in an auditorium and listening. Finally concluding my review by saying its a great headphone for a mixing/mastering engineer and the best listening experience for a casual and music listener. PS:- this review is totally my personal opinion and nothing to do with my Samson or AKG or Sennheiser liking because i have all of these brands in one or the other components i use, i believe in value for money stuff. Period!
