Thursday: Samson SR-850B Semi-Open Studio for $25

Budget semi-open studio headphones that are kinda of an homage to old school AKG? That’s the Samson SR-850-B, “B” stands for the blue color scheme (still mostly black), and it is on sale for $25 as one of the daily deals at B&H Photo good until 2/1/24 at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out.

Given the price it is not a surprise you only get a 1/4″ adapter in the box, but you also get a 2-year warranty!

And as fate would have it, almost seven years ago we posted a text and pictures unboxing of this model, but in the black color scheme.
