Customers are mixed about the comfort of the headphones. Some mention that they are super comfortable and stay cool, while others say that they were uncomfortable somewhat after a few minutes and cause pain after several hours. They also mention that the metal bars on top are rather stiff.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the headphones. Some mention they fit well and are comfortable, while others say they're a little tight on their big head. The plug no longer fits some devices snuggly, and the initial clamp was tight, but it loosened up after a few days.

7 customers mention4 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the padding of the headphones. Some like the velour pads on them rather than plastic, and the earpads are nice and don't get sweaty or oily. While others say that the earmuffs are different materials, and after only a few minutes their ears are sweating and sound leakage occurs. The backs are plastic and the headphones could be sturdier.

"...But the auto-adjusting fit and large overstrap, along with the cloth padding make them quite comfortable...." Read more

"...I noted the above average sound leakage because of the cheap ear cup padding...." Read more

"...The ear pads are velour which I prefer, however the foam they used seems cheap and almost "crunchy" for lack of a better word to describe..." Read more

"...midrange with good instrument separation however a bit weak in the low and high range, the highs fatigue your ears...." Read more

"Not the best build quality but great sound!" Read more

These headphones are exactly what you would expect if you are familiar with Samson products: excellent sound and quality - surprisingly low price. (No, I do not work for or represent Samson - I have just never been disappointed with any of their products.) The first thing I needed to do after plugging these headphones in was to change all my EQ settings to flat. These headphones really do give a flat frequency response - see the attached photo. The sound is clear, clean, and true. Please note, they are large: 50 mm drivers are 50 mm. (The drivers cannot be folded or smashed to make them smaller.) But the auto-adjusting fit and large overstrap, along with the cloth padding make them quite comfortable. I was able to wear them 4-5 hours at a time from day one. I have to push these pretty hard to get distortion or breaking up - but by then, they are way too loud for my ears. I like the thickness, strength, and flexibility of the cable, and I also like the fact that the 1/4" adapter actually screws onto the 1/8" plug. That's a nice, tight connection. On a final note, just before throwing out the box, I realised that the molded holder inside the box would make an excellent, safe holder on my desk. I spray painted it black and that did it. I believe with a little glue and creativity it would also work vertically. I am quite pleased with these headphones.
