great value and a good bit of kit
These are nice headphones. The response is balanced (no boomy bass) and perfect for reference listening or monitoring while tracking audio. The detachable cable is a smart design, and they fold to a reasonable size. These are not perfect, but no headphones are going to be.
Pros:
- Balanced sound
- Comfortable
- Detatchable cable
- Lots of value for price
Cons:
- None at this price

Shure SRH 440
Below the SRH 840s in the product range, Shure offers the SRH 440s, a hybrid set that's half-portable, half-fixed. Shure is continuing with their rather offbeat product positioning - this is a set of monitoring headphones positioned...
Pros:
- Transportable monitor headphones
- Incisive
- clear-cut sound
- Very good soundstage and instrument positioning for closed-back headphones
Cons:
- Lack of balance -de-emphasized midrange and too much bass
- Not light enough

Shure SRH440
Shure 's SRH range of professional headphones claims to be the first choice for "music obsessives." Well, as far as the SRH440s are concerned, the obsessives here at What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision would position them slightly further down their pecking order.
Pros:
- Power aplenty
Cons:
- Lack refinement and subtlety
- one dimensional

Sophisticated & Economical
I received these just before leaving on a week-long vacation, on which they got quite a bit of use. SOUND: I didn't burn them in, but right out the box they sounded great. The bass tends to be weaker than I'd like on some songs, but on others is all-enveloping and punchy...

Shure SRH440 Headphones (Playback 34)
Playback was suitably impressed when we reviewed Shure's SRH840 headphones last year. The 840s set a benchmark for under $250 headphone performance, though of course Grado ‘phones, for very different sonic reasons, also hold a warm spot in our value-oriented hearts.

Shure SRH440
The Shure SRH440 headphones might not appeal to people who use higher-end equipment or who want skull-shattering bass, but as a step into the world of home studio recording, they sound great with a wide range of musical genres--and the price is right.
Pros:
- Audio is clean and exceptionally balanced
- ideal for home studio recording, but also great for general listening
- detachable, replaceable cable
- affordable price
Cons:
- Overall retro and plastic design
- clunky cable weighs down the headset
- uncomfortable for long-term use
- exposed small wires running from the headband to the earcup

Shure SRH440 review: Shure SRH440
The Shure SRH440 headphones might not appeal to people who use higher-end equipment or who want skull-shattering bass, but as a step into the world of home studio recording, they sound great with a wide range of musical genres--and the price is right. Shure has been producing quality studio headphones for a number of years now, and has also been popular with the iPod generation, but now the company's pro and consumer lines are crossing paths.
Pros:
- Audio is clean and exceptionally balanced
- ideal for home studio recording, but also great for general listening
- detachable, replaceable cable
- affordable price.
Cons:
- Overall retro and plastic design
- clunky cable weighs down the headset
- uncomfortable for long-term use
- exposed small wires running from the headband to the earcup.
