Shure SRH440 Reviews

Love these!

This is my new favorite studio headsets. The quality of these headphones vs the price is a steal! I have a pair of Shure SE215-CL in ear monitors, and they have very similar sound.

Can’t never go wrong with shure.

Excellent budget solution

A friend of mine, who's an experienced sound engineer recommended to me these headphones and I must say that they sound quite well and suit my needs perfectly.

The only thing that bothers me is the band which irritates my scalp and I need to keep moving it back and forth to give my skin a rest.

very nice headphones

good quality good sound. Only thing i would change is the chord it is to short IMOP but easy to change.

Amazing for the price!

Got many of them in the studio for musicians to monitor and would definitely buy more If needed. Really durable, have used them on the field and in the studio, they held up really good.

The sound is great for the price! You can't go wrong with these!

Pros:

Durable

Good looking

Sound great

Replacable cable

Cons:

none I guess

Good studio reference headphones, not meant for just listening to your favourite music

These are for studio use, not recreational use. They have a flat response which will not sound right if you are used to headphones with a bass boost. Perfect for monitoring use though. The spiral flex cord has a locking plug at both ends, so if you get to your limit it wont rip the plug out of the jack.

very good for price

sound quality is very good, BUT its not comfortable to use for a long time.

They sound good, but break very easily

I have bought these headphones twice and I really wanted to like them. They sound really good and are not very uncomfortable to wear, although I occasionally suffered a bit of earpain when wearing them for many hours. However, there are reliability issues plaguing them. After about six months after buying the first pair, the right channel stopped working. Luckily this problem could be fixed. About 3 months after that the plastic just broke near the place where the earcup attaches to the rest of the system. So I bought the second pair hoping I was just unlucky. Nope, the first problem I described occured about 8 months after receiving and the second one about a year after that. I have 3 friends who all bought the same headphones and although theirs lasted much longer, these ultimately shared the same fate.

Classics!

Great sound and fit!

Mediocre sound quality

Not happy with the quality of this headphones.

Good set

I expected more, but to my price range it was the best option.

Easy handling, carriable, durable. My problem with it is the poor sound isolation, and not much definition on the lower-end.

Good quality, good finish, good sound

Good quality, good finish, good sound - clear with good bass. Satisfied, with no defect found at the moment.

No colour is good colour for studio

Love these headphones, comfy , light, true plain sound lets you know exactly how your work is doing in studio! I?m going to get more,

Excellent for drummers

For the last 4 years, I've been using the infamous Vic firth SIH-1 headphones for practicing drums, and chose these headphones hoping for a significantly improved drumming experience. As I hoped, these headphones are excellent for drummers; they are comfortable to wear for extended period of time (I typically use mine 2 hours at a time with no discomfort), the sound quality is fantastic - great clarity, the sound isolation is better than expected - not too dissimilar to the SIH-1's, and these headphones are still very affordable.

When I'm not drumming, these headphones produce a fantastic sound for generally listening to music.

Highly recommended for drummers looking to upgrade from the naff SIH-1 !

Great for General Listening

Great for general listening and very comfortable and affordable - obviously a shaped frequency response (boosted mids), so be aware and be sure to double check mixes on other systems. I've had these for 2 years now and still have no problems with them. Sturdy product for Shure ;)

Excellent headphones for a home studio

Great, well-balanced sound which for the price is surely hard to beat. The cable seems to be sturdy and is locked in to avoid getting pulled out while moving around. Like most headphones, you need to take them off once in a while to give your ears/head a break, but the comfort is generally very good. Changing the length of the head band could perhaps be a bit smoother but nothing to complain about really given how often you need to do that. Fully recommendable!

Great headphones

Overall great headphones. Nice detailed sound, no surprises when listening to wide range of music, not bass too heavy and their weight is not too heavy either so there's no pressure after few hours of use. Build quality is great although ear pads began to crack after few months so that's little bit of disappointment but ok, there's replacement to buy. All in all, very satisfied!

Best headphones at the price range

I've been using these for over a year now and all i have to say about it are good things !

The sound is clear , pretty bright while still handling the low-end very nicely (I'm a bassist) .

The foam on top gets a little worn out but nothing out of the ordinary, and lastly , it isn't the best option for long-time hearing because the coushions could be a lot better on top.

Excellent Product

Brilliant sound. good quality product

Great headphones !

I use these mainly for drumming and listening to music. Good isolation and clear sound. Would recommend !

Outside noise not canceled

These headphones have great sound and are so comfortable that you forget you even have them on. Great highs, great low end. Their only disadvantage is that they do not do a good job on canceling outside sounds. It is something totaly irrelevant for studio recording, but for home recording it is quite significant.
