What I’m really digging about the 850 is the fact that when a song reaches a crescendo, I don’t feel overwhelmed as if the sound is just out of control. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

It’s not catastrophic, but you can’t expect it to last for too long unless you’re super careful all the time.This is especially considering most budget headphones usually have a recessed or slightly recessed midrange. While both of these sets are great in this regard, we can’t help but notice that AKG K240 is, objectively, a better choice. My ears tend to stick out a little, so I’m always conscious of factoring that into my reviews, but even here, I could see most people would end up having their ears touch the inside covering of the driver. These headphones are perfectly stable enough for studio work, but don’t expect to take these on a jog or to the gym. I’ve heard rumors that the 240 does tend to break down over time, but I haven’t experienced it for myself yet.

The Samson uses a full vinyl headband instead of the wings used by the OEM Superlux's and benefits extensively from this, adding both stability and comfort. To make it as easy as possible for you to get the gear you want, we offer a range of instant finance options. Once in a while, a headphone comes along that costs minimal but hits way way way above its weight and into the realm of some much pricier competition.

Yeah man, there is loads of detail present in the 850, but I think a lot of it is the brighter treble contributing to that. Of course, Samson is far from a bad choice, but you’ll enjoy K240 more if you’re looking for comfort.
