just felt the need to say this.

BurgerBum

first off, let me begin my story. 

 

im poor have shit headphones and am an audiphile. 

 

the end. 

 

alright so now, allow me to tell you how freaking awesome this company is. 

on massdrop, i saw the Samson SR950s going on a drop, and hadnt heard of them before. out of curiosity, i looked further into them. 

they normally go MSRP for around 80-120 american dollars depending on the time of year and your location. 

on massdrop, as they reached the lowest price they went for 53.95 (i believe).

i jumped on it immediatly. and have been happily and patiently waiting for my pair to arrive ever since. 

 

well, its been quite a while, to the point where my patience has been tested a little and my earbuds im using right now are dying. fast. 

 

 

 

so massdrop sent me this just tonight. 

post-122995-0-95769600-1427526815.png

 

 

samson is fucking awesome, can i say that? 

 

just wanted to let the community know how freaking excited i am for these to arrive, and take my first two steps into the audiophile world, with my own headphones. (instead of my friend mary's HD800s every time we meet up) 

 

(and yeah, i say audiophile and these probably erent the greatest things in the world, i could have saved up and gotten some audio technica m50x or whatever, but i am excited to finally have something of this quality, and from a company thats super chill with just letting us have a second pair of their headphones. )

they're the little <colour> and rubber black ones with the inline mic?

the cable keep sliding too far in or too far out of the actual earbud itself and cut out?

the cable have these random dings and bends in it you cant explain?

 

i know your pain. x'D

yup. ^_^

i am now a samson fangirl just for how they treated those of us on the drop. 

i was the 12th participant in a 40 member drop. 

40 PEOPLE

40*100x when x=2 is like 8000 or something close, they're giving us 40 people 8000~ish dollars in headphones for 2000~ish bucks. 

 

 

they are some cool cats. 

i'd hang out with those guys any day of the week. (except tuesdays... dont ask) 

 

OH gosh I should have ordered these :< 

I had to be like "NO you already have a decent pair of headphones" :'<

thats the problem with massdrop. 

you look at soemthing and go ''meh, its aight' i got what i need''

-two weeks later-

''HEY GUYS MASSDROP SENT ALL THE PARTICIPANTS 400 DOLLARS WITH WHAT WE ORDERED''

you: -table flip- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

and i feel really special too. because 950 and 850 add up to 1800 which is my favorite era. 

also the year 89 was my favorite year for music. 

AND this means im getting an open back and closed back set of headphones. so i can have soem fully formed opinions on both. AND have one for my two workstations. 

 

 

seriously im questioning myself if i should find out if samson makes microphones. x'D

isnt snake oil just a fancy wasy of saying bullshit?

i know what it is atleast. :D

 

i've learned to see what is and isnt snake oil/bullshit with most products, but with audio im still learning, ive spent so much time with my freinds headphoens and listing to music IRL that i dont know much about headphones/speakers or microphones really.

Pretty much, lol.

 

Basically anything over $100 amp & dac wise is negligible, and only worth it if the product has features you really need, cables making a difference to sound is pretty BS too, burn in is pretty irrelevant, lots of other stuff.

 

Expensive DACs and amps actually change the sound away from being just made louder, many of them distort the sound to add more treble/ bass / other things like that, which in turn makes them less "high fidelity" than other transparent amps that change nothing besides volume.

I see, i had assumed anything about cables had to be absolute bull. 

''our 6 feet of copper and rubber is better than thier 6 feet of copper and rubber because.... because... because.... it is!!!''

i had actually beleive the burn in thing though. (assuming we;re both talking about how like some drivers can take up to like 100 hours or whatever of use to provide the best sound they can, or whatever that was? )

Many companies test things before sending them out and burn them in, and even headphones where burn in is a thing, the difference in frequency response is almost non existent, and I really doubt anyone that tried them for 30 minutes, then let 100 hours of music play, then tried them again would notice a difference.

or that anyone would notice said difference over the 100 hours that they actaully listen to them with. x'D 

 

 

 

thanks for all the heads-ups! (its wierd saying a phrase that has a plural word in the middle but its plural of that phrase so it ends up just never sounding quite right while you type it....... its like when you type ''their'' but stare at it for 15 minutes because it looks.... so.... not... right.......)

 

any reccomendations (i could never spell that. T^T ) on some good amps/dacs? not like i need them right now but in the future. :/ *shrug*
