Shure SRH440A Professional Over-Ear Wired Studio Headphones – Monitoring & Recording Headphones with Enhanced Frequency Response, Adjustable & Collapsible Design, Works with All Audio Devices, Black

Comfortable, true, clean sound
We use them for HD TV and YouTube going through a Denon receiver every day wearing eyeglasses.Very comfortable for sitting, not jumping around. Wear for hours without impressions on head.Nice large cups to fully fit over ears with generous headband that easily adjusts. No sweating.Sound is not enhanced, very true to source.Soft pads so does a good job of decreasing outside sounds though my $350 noise cancelling headsets do a better job at cancelling outside sounds.Wired, which I wanted. Nice large wire so sturdy.They are much better than my prior highly rated headsets at the same price point.I actually purchased two and these won over the new set and my old set.

Headphones That Mean Business (Even with a Princess Leia Twist)
These Shure SRH440A professional-grade headphones are designed with podcasters, home recording artists, and studio professionals in mind, and are offered at a price point that makes them accessible to most budgets. They fit snuggly and comfortably. Sound quality is crisp.ProsComfortable Fit: The circumaural, closed-back design ensures comfort during extended recording or listening sessions. The grip is secure without being viselike. I’ve worn these for hours without discomfort, though I wish the grip was more adjustable.Outstanding Sound Quality: With a wide frequency range (5 Hz – 25 kHz) and high sensitivity, these headphones deliver crisp natural-sounding audio from treble to bass.Excellent Construction: Well-built headphones, with a combination of heavy plastic and (faux?) leather ear cups that perform durably and reliably like all Shure products. These headphones do not fold for travel.Superior Value: Competitively priced for most budgets.ConsNo Noise Cancellation: Lacks active noise-canceling technology. The headphones do a pretty good job of isolating the listener without this—and you might not want or need noise canceling tech in a studio—but know that these aren’t meant for noisy environments.Wired Design: Not wireless, which might limit mobility. The headphones come with a straight cord about 10 feet long that plugs into a Shure Mic without locking there. Cable management can be an issue, so give thought to this. The cord plugs into the base of the left side speaker; it is not a Y cord.Aesthetic Quirk: The large cup design might give the wearer a “Princess Leia” headset look. I don’t mind this but people do comment on their size.Overall, I’m pleased with these headphones. While I wish they were a little smaller, a little lighter, and wireless, they offer excellent value for this price point.

These headphones are excellent for the price
The fit, adjustability, cord length, and sound are as good as other headphones which cost 5 times as much. I would rate them 10 out of 10

Great For Accurate Tuning of Podcast-Microphone Audio
With a near flat response in the ever so important midrange these phones are GREAT for tuning audio signatures in OTA (over the air) Radio Broadcast Transmitters and PODCAST microphone audio. The only negative point I have for the SRH-840A is that the optional coiled cord is way over priced (IMO) at $28.00.FYI: Although the plug ends on the SRH-840A cable looks to be exactly the same as plug ends on the cables that came with my Shure SRH940 .. they are not. My SRH-940 cables do not work with my newly purchased SRH-840A phones.

Used via creative sound blaster on dell pc great sound

Great sound and build quality. Ive had them for a few years now and they still work the same.Only issue is if you need or want to replace the cable it is hard to find one that fits the same locking mechanism on the headphones side. Even some that are advertised as replacements don’t quite fit. Would prefer if it were something more standard.
