Then SR 950 it is. Are they comfy?

Very much comfy than my SR 850 due to velour pads

Samson SR950

How is the sr850, looks like. It has a flat response than what sr950 offers, a coloured one.

Saw the akg k511. How would you rate it.? Got a ebay seller. On international shipping for $39.

SR850 take hell lot of time to settle down, more than 100 hrs.

Frankly speaking I got them in Feb 2014 but still had played for less than 100 hrs. I find bit of treble spike in most song.

SR 850 are open ended too so sound will leak.

IMO you avoid SR850 as they may be Uncomfortable for you due to pleather pads. My ears starts sweating within 30 minutes of use.

Alright thanks. Well look at my latest post about the akg k511.

No idea of AKG much but read & heard lot about 518 DJ but samsons would be better IMO.

I play it on low volumes for initial 10 hrs & then start raising volume. Try it with different genres. SR 950 could easily be driven from any source.

 

[nikhilsharma007nikx]

Alright thanks.

@OP, I have auditioned AKG K99 for a couple of days for performance monitoring purposes and say that you look at them too. The offer was ~3.2 K at Chennai.

 

[nikhilsharma007nikx]

I'm getting sr950 for 2500, I guess its great.

 

[siddharchris]

Good then, Congrats

 

[nikhilsharma007nikx]
