Samson does lots of business with a very large consumer electronics dealer and they just sold us al of their consumer returns and overstock items. We test each item as we get it and sell it as an Open Box item for way below the usual Retail price. This is one of those items. The packaging is not perfect but the headphones are fully tested and is working as new and they are covered by a 30 day warranty from Butler Music. Save big on a new item that has been fully tested and is ready to go.

Generating expert take…
Samson Technologies was founded in 1980 in the United States and built its name first in wireless microphone systems. Its early history is tied to pro-audio innovation rather than consumer hi-fi, and the brand has remained focused on practical, affordable audio tools for musicians, broadcasters, podcasters, and creators.
Today, Samson is best known for microphones, wireless systems, portable PA gear, studio monitors, mixers, headphones, and accessories. It is not primarily a turntable, DAC, or high-end loudspeaker brand, and those products are not central to its identity. The company’s strongest association is with accessible recording and live-sound equipment, especially USB microphones and entry-level studio and streaming gear.
In the market, Samson sits in the entry-level to mid-tier professional-audio segment rather than the high-end hi-fi world. Its reputation is for value, convenience, and broad utility rather than audiophile prestige or boutique craftsmanship. For buyers, it is best understood as a dependable mainstream brand for functional audio hardware, not a vintage-collector name or luxury hi-fi maker.
