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

Pros:

- 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

Not bad for the money. but buy the 240's
if you are considering buying the shure 440's, that's fine, but I recommended you buy the shure 240's save yourself $50 and your ears for little difference in sound quality, and a more retro design.
Pros:
- Great balance (not too little or too much bass) and superb sound quality for the money
- The build quality is quite sturdy
- A nice clean retro design
- A "plastic brushed finish" so no finger prints
- ear cups and head band are made with nice pleather
Cons:
- The ear cups can get very uncomfortable with even mildly long amounts of time
- (your ears will get soar, A excessively long curly wire comes in the box which gets heavy, and also gets tangled, two wires on the sides can easily get chewed or clipped

Review: Shure SRH440
Shure has been a fixture in studios for decades. So it should come as little surprise that the SRH440 skews more towards a neutral tonal balance. But while the similarly signatured 280 sounded dull, distant, and tinny with certain genres of music, the Shure's sparkling highs, well-balanced mids, and...
Pros:
- Well built
- Decent isolation
- Clean, articulate sound that hits a sonic sweet spot
- Ear cups pivot and fold into a portable package
- Come with detachable 9.5-foot coiled cable and travel pouch
- Great value
Cons:
- Heaviest of the bunch
- Exposed driver cables made me a little nervous
- Not really comfortable for more than short, hour-long listening sessions
- Noise isolation not as good as the Sennheiser or Destiny

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 DELIVERS THE GOODS"
Them bottom line is the sound. And they sure are the BEST I've heard. I can see myself using these phones for a long time. The highs, mids and lows are very even. I actually hear things on these phones that I didn't hear before.

Pros:
- Crisp clear Audio
- Ideal for home studio mixing
- easy on the eye
