Best Shure SRH440A-EFS Alternatives

Based on 3 reviews

Lately i tested shure 840, ath m40x, dt 250, yamaha mt7, focal pro and fostex t40rp mk3 Shure i found them good but little harsh so after some hours my ears couldnt used to them. Ath m40x trust me if you want something professional in this range you have to take better sennheizer hd380 Dt 250 nice sound but for movies and maybe music styles with bass yamaha more harsh than shure 840 and more fake sound but round nice sound Focal was nice but not too clean like fostex Fostex is in between shure 840 and focal professional They have more open sound and nice stereo image..They focus on voice and that matters when you record. Really great choice!

The sound of these headphones is well-known - they sound great, with a fairly even response. I bought them primarily because the SonarWorks Reference 3 plug-in as a profile for them which helps even out the response even better for monitoring and mixing. Paired together it's great. The construction of the headphones are top-notch - good quality plugs and cables. Nothing feels cheap or appears built to break. I wish I could say the same about some of the other headphones I've purchased over the years. The best part of these are the soft-cloth ear pads which, in my opinion, are the most comfortable ear pads I've ever used. I can wear the headphones for hours without issues or discomfort.

DT1990 are simply great for its price, but have some downsides too. As many here I own also DT990 so will compare. DT1990 have unbelievable nice build quality - the example of precision German craftmanship. They looks nice, handles nice, sounds nice and the moment you take them to your hands you have that premium feeling worth of every euro spent on these. Many Hi-end headphones, even those twice as priced as these, can have poisonously pronounced treble to bring in the clarity and this is that case. On the other hand those heights are very very very detailed with very low distortion, what makes it incredibly precise and analytical while listening. You have 2 pad options in case which is really nice, but none of these perform to tame the treble peak. To tweak this to absolute precision,...

Coming from the classic HD25s, this is a very clear upgrade. There's very few reviews online about it, but those saying the two headphones sound the same, they really don't. The HD26 improves on the HD25s by a lot. Sound separation and depth is very evident. Bass is not as strong. When comparing both, I can only summarize as the HD26 sound very clear and precise and the HD25s sound muffled, like there's a wall between you and the audio. You can also drive these headphones a lot easier despite it having 100 ohms. I keep my headphone volume on my Focusrite at 25% or below. One thing I disliked was the auto opening headband as it could never fit my head right. Luckly they do include an option to change from the auto opening one to a unified single one. So if you're on the fence of...

After doing a lot of research for what monitor headphones to buy around the 100-150€ price range, I narrowed it down to these or the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro. I chose these mostly for the practicality: they are very portable, since you can collapse them, and the cables are removable and exchangeable (two characteristics that the Beyerdynamics do not have). Having also tried the Beyerdynamics, I can say that these two pairs of headphones are different, but neither is necessarily better. As monitor headphones, they both do an excellent job, and I would say that they are the two best choices in this price range. The only thing about the Audio-Technicas that I do not rate at 5 stars is the comfort. They are not uncomfortable - in fact, they are very comfortable to wear for the first 30...
