The best available on the market for a price of 150-200 u.e. Shure SRH840 are some of the best headphones I have ever listened to. The drivers are similar to those in Audio-Technica model 55. But how they managed to achieve such realism remains a mystery to me. It is necessary to break them in for about 250-350 hours. The sound is very similar to Audio-Technica ATH-W1000, Denon AH-D5000, Sony MDR-R10, but clearly wins in terms of naturalness and softness. You can listen to music for hours, and in any genre. Necessary to warm up for about 250-350 hours. Not everyone can endure it. The sound changes radically.  Aleksey: use Shure SRH840 few months i recommend it should buy |
Who's new?
Shure is definitely not the brand that comes to mind when talking about professional headphones. It is all the more surprising how confidently they broke into this market just a few years ago with a line of professional headphones. At first, on specialized forums like Gearslutz, people shared skepticism, then it was replaced by a restrained positive, which in the end was confirmed by general enthusiasm and numerous gold medals. As they say in the review: before you spend 500 bucks on new headphones, first try the Shure SRH840.
monitor sound
So, SRH840 are closed-back headphones with 40mm drivers, replaceable cable, decent sensitivity (102dB) and low impedance, which makes it easy to connect them to a signal source. However, there is nothing unusual here. And the price of $ 200 does not look so tempting. So what's the secret to success? In a clinically flat frequency response, which is rarely seen in headphones of this class. In character, they noticeably echo the living classics in the face of the Sony MDR-7506, even a small hump in the 300 Hz region looks identical. At the same time, the Shure has better upper frequencies, which gives better control when dealing with sibilants and high-frequency resonances. However, their sound cannot be called sterile as in conventional Fostex models. On the contrary, due to the rich timbre, the headphones are quite suitable for domestic use, especially if you are interested in music with an emphasis on mid frequencies (for example, jazz). Fans of aggressive, assertive sound with an abundance of bass will find them too neutral.
Design features
The reliable folding design of the headphones also deserves a positive assessment. Large and soft ear cushions guarantee high-quality noise isolation and cut off external noise, helping you to concentrate on working with sound. The fit on the head and the soft material of the headband make it comfortable to stay in the headphones for a long time. The kit comes with a twisted cable, which is most convenient when used while working at the table, a carrying case and a spare pair of ear pads, which will not become superfluous during active use. As for the convenience of the design, opinions are divided. Half of the owners who use them to record music dream of a stronger headboard so that the headphones do not fall off the head while singing or recording solos. The other half, on the contrary, asks for a softer headboard, as the head gets tired of this over time. Some criticize the reliability of the design, comparing them with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro. In fact, they are assembled quite well, it's just that Beyerdynamic is unkillable.
