"Good Professional Budget Headphones"
Shure have been producing high class audio equipment for quite sometime. Readers may have heard of their flagship SM series, such as the SM57 or SM58 microphones, and due to this, it was no surprise when they started creating studio headphones.
Pros:
- Crisp clear Audio
- Ideal for home studio mixing
- easy on the eye
Cons:
- Un-comfortable after 1 hour and exposed wires

These headphones are decent. Nothing great. Widely available and retails for around $100 I liked them from a sound standpoint, however from a portability/durability standpoint, I couldn't justify keeping them. I generally listen to most of my music either on the commute to work or in the office.

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 for tracking, not the best sound
I own these along with AKG K240 Studios. I first bought the K240's over these for the comfort along with the sound quality. While these sound very good they just don't match the clarity and smoothness of the semi open back AKG's. These are fully closed back so give you a sorta pressured feeling.

Shure SRH 440 Headphones
It always pays to check your mixes using a decent pair of headphones as you'll often hear nuances that are missed when listening through your main monitors. Shure's new SRH 440s feature 40mm neodynamic drivers optimised for general listening and monitoring and have been finetuned to deliver accurate...

Upgrading from Sennheiser HD 203's to these. Completely worth the doubling in price. Sound is excellent but do require about a day of burn in, they sound far better afterwards. Very comfy to wear too.

Shure SRH440 Professional Quality Headphones
Headphones are very difficult to review. The head is such a difficult part of the body to place tech on that everybody's experience of the same tech will be different. I hated these earphones.

I bought these headphones because I wanted a high quality monitor that could isolate the noise and chatter of my surrounding (especially when I'm shooting concerts or wedding receptions). I also wanted to get double for my money as I needed something just as good to monitor my audio while editing.

Shure SRH440 Studio Headphones
These headphones are great. The bass response is excellent. Despite the fact that these don't use any sort of frequency interference to noise cancel, I don't here a thing but the music I listen to when i'm wearing them. I also think they are fairly comfortable, even for several hours at a time.
