These are my first set of headphones, and I am delighted with them. Such a bargain for the price, I have recommended them to several friends.

For a price point of $60, you are getting a well built headphones that sound perfectly fine for casual listening and some gaming. Because of poor isolation I would not recommend these for commuters.

Light weight Good packaging comfortable to wear Clear mids and highs

Lack bass Headband could have been softer All plastic build makes it less premium feeling

But just what are the SRH 240s? The picture on the press release, showing the phones near an iPod nano, implies that Shure is eager to leave the professional world behind.

Good looks; Powerful but clean bass

Poorly balanced sound; Low-end materials; Strident highs

We're familiar with Shure 's in-ear headphones, but the company's on-ear cans are a new proposition. The SRH240s look reasonable but feel cheaper than their price would suggest. Pleasingly, the earpads and headband feel comfortable during prolonged listening.

Comfortable to wear

Lack refinement; cheap feel

there good balanced headphones. comfortable for wearing long periods of time. the cords a bit long and if your wearing them and walking around it tends to get caught on things. there good-looking headphones as well. i use them to dj.

How long you use it? 2008 What is so special that you love the most, least? in fact the least aggressive and tiring lol watch your ears over time the sound is pretty rough to listen to an mp3 player on a bus but it goes even good for the home studio direct you forget!!

Terribly lacks bass. The design seems way too cheap compared to 440 that is only a bit more pricy than these. The mids and highs are clear like any other shures. I am not a fan of crappy bass heavy headphones like "the beats" or bose, but these almost sound like there is no bass at all.

The Shure SRH240A is a relatively cheap headphone cashing in at $59. Coming from Shure, it stands to reason this headphone isn't going to suck, but how much headphone do you...
