Overview

The Samson SR860 is a semi-open back, over-ear studio reference headphone designed for music mixing, monitoring, and critical listening. At the core of the SR860 are 50mm neodymium drivers that produce a wide frequency response with pronounced bass depth and articulate high-frequency detail. The semi-open back architecture allows air to flow through the ear cups, creating a broader and more natural soundstage that helps engineers and producers hear spatial separation in their mixes more accurately than fully closed designs typically allow.

Comfort is a central consideration in the SR860's design. A self-adjusting headband conforms to different head sizes without manual adjustment, while the around-ear cushions enclose the ears to reduce pressure during long sessions. The overall build is lightweight, minimizing fatigue over hours of use. The headphones connect via a 3.5mm plug and ship with a 1/4-inch stereo adapter, making them ready to plug into portable players, audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and studio headphone amplifiers alike.
