They come with 3 years warranty, if you bought online you should have an email copy of the invoice.

I did not find any mention of 3 year manufacturer warranty anywhere among the current listings. Can you share some evidence of this 3 year warranty ?
 
It does have 3 year warranty (I don't have my boxes anymore to confirm it though). I bought the same headphone 3 times since 2014, and made friends get it too.

Bloody fantastic headphone this is. Sounds better than some that cost 3x the price. Velour pad version is super comfy too.

Strange, maybe they changed it? You could try contacting Samson.

I don't remember whether it was on a box or paper inside, but I do remember seeing warranty being 3 years like @stefanm said. The last time I bought a pair was in 2017. All of them still running fine. The original model with pleather pads needed earpad replacement and the cable started cracking. But that's 8 years old at this point!

All in all never needed to avail warranty services for any of them

I love them, apparently they sound even better with the filter mod. I'll be doing that and making some wooden cups too.

I suppose you could try equalizing the treble.Otherwise it is pretty balanced and great for neutral sound. Personally I would prefer its sibling 950 for the slightly warm signature. I found the clamping force to be on the higher side.

They're fairly neutral and very airy, the highs do need taming for those with studio sensitive ears (it's a curse, not a blessing)

I agree about the clamping force- it was terrible for the first couple weeks. It evened out over time though, and ended up being nice and comfy. And now its a bit too loose to be honest!

And yeah, it can be quite sibilant as well, but nothing that some nice EQing can't fix. Its very responsive to EQing.
