General

Samson has unveiled its Z Series, which includes 4 top-notch sets of headphones; the flagship of which is this particular model, the Z55 professional reference headphones. When you're mixing songs, only one thing matters: hearing the audio in detail so you can make it sound as good as possible. That is absolutely no problem with these Z55 headphones. The ear pads have a luxurious lambskin leather finish, which makes all the difference when you spend hours at a time at a mixing console.

Z55: balance, clarity and detail

The Samson Z55 is a set of headphones that competes with the best on the market. It's designed to reproduce audio that's so balanced, so detailed, you can even hear the acoustics of the room in which it was recorded. All of this is thanks to the 45mm aluminium-coil neodymium drivers that can produce tones between 10 Hz and 25 kHz! You can hear a pin drop with a frequency range like that! Because Samson wants you to be in control when it comes to freedom of movement, the Z55 comes with a 2.5m-long straight cable, and two 1.2m-long cables, one coiled and one with an in-line microphone.

Wolf in sheep's clothing

The Z55 reference headphones are made for professionals, which means they will be worn for hours on end. That's why Samson lined the ear pads in soft lambskin leather, providing extra comfort and preventing fatigue. The adjustable headband ensures a perfect fit and its classy design is enhanced by subtle chrome details just above the ear pads. When you're finished using them, rotate the ear pads inwards and store them safely in the included protective bag.

Stevig materiaal, goed en professioneel geluid.
Er worden fijne kabels bijgeleverd.
Wel is het tasje dat er bij komt nogal zwak, maar ja ze bieden hem voor een redelijke prijs aan dus begrijp het wel.

Samson Z Series Headphones Bridge the Gap

Friday 20 November 2015 By Lizanne

According to Samson, "the power of music is its ability to inspire connection". However, if the music in all its glory doesn't come through to the listener the way it was intended to, then inspiration is hard to muster. Samson has come up with the solution to this problem: the Z Series. Depending on your budget and sonic tastes, you can choose between 4 different sets of headphones: the Z25, Z35, Z45 or the Z55.
