HEADPHONES

Comfort
Sound quality means little if your headphones aren’t completely
comfortable. With genuine lambskin ear pads, the Z55s provide the
ultimate in comfort and luxury for marathon mixing and listening sessions.
An adjustable cushioned headband also adds to a comfortable experience
when listening on the go or in the studio.
Sound
Samson’s goal when designing the Z55s was to create a pair of headphones
that aren’t overly hyped, but play to experienced audio professionals. The Z55s
feature a large 45mm driver, providing the widest, yet most balanced and
detailed sound field of the entire Z Series line. These headphones don’t trade
audio quality for cost or convenience.
Design
Both durable and lightweight, the Z55 headphones sport a sleek, low-profile
modern design with chrome accents. As closed-back style headphones, the
Z55s provide effective sound isolation by limiting unwanted background
noise. For added portability, the Z55s feature collapsible 90° rotating
ear cups that allow the headphones to sit completely flat when being
transported, or folded up and placed in the included carry pouch. Three
detachable audio cables (straight, coil, with microphone and call/answer
control) are included for overall convenience.
