Does the Samson SR450 need an amplifier?

No. At 32 ohms and 110 dB sensitivity it plays loud enough from a phone, laptop or tablet. An amp is optional for studio gear.

Can I use it for recording and monitoring?

Yes. The closed-back design limits sound leakage and the included 1/4-inch adapter fits audio interfaces and mixers.

Does it have a microphone or Bluetooth?

No. It is wired only, with a 3.5 mm plug, and has no microphone or wireless connection.

Is it good for travel?

Not really. It does not fold, and the 2.5 m cable is long for walking or commuting.

What comes in the box?

The headphones, a 2.5 m attached cable with a gold-plated 3.5 mm plug, and a 1/4-inch adapter.
