SRH440 : Great headphones!

12 years ago

I use these to help me listen out for bad mistakes in mixes, when in home studios where the acoustic treatment is sub-par.

Sound:

The sound is way beyond it's price. Very flat and true sounding, great for mixing stuff. Perhaps for listening to music in general its a little bit light on the bass, but that's how I like it as I use it mainly for studio use.

Comfort:

I tend to use these for hours on end. When you first put them on they feel snug, and fit around your ear very nicely. After about 1 and a half hours, my ears need a breather, and can feel a little sore, but a good 5 minute break tends to do the trick. It maybe just my ears, others may not have that problem.

Quality:

I've had these for half a year now and have had no problems with them so far. Having said that, I do worry about the two small wires that come from the main casing and go into the speakers, they are small and unprotected and could easily be ripped off if care isn't taken.

Conclusion:

These are some of the best headphones I've ever used. They work great in the studio and have a great flat sound in general. I would recommend them to people for their home studios.
