Most headphones we test tend to have a moderate-to-intense bass response, so reviewing a pair like the Shure SRH1540 almost comes as a shock. Few headphones can extend down as low as 5Hz and yet deliver accurate bass response that doesn't boost the low-end into blowing out the rest of the mix.
Excellent audio performance; Impressively lightweight despite large size; Exceptionally comfortable; Ships with two detachable cables, a replacement pair of earcups, and the sturdiest hard-shell headphone case we've ever seen
No inline remote control or mic on either cable; Not for booming bass lovers
