Quality headphones...

I've been waiting for a while to get new headphones after I lost my Shure SE530PTHs earphones and I finally decided to jump in when I saw Shure was coming out with some new cans. They don't sound quite as good as the 530s did, but these are high quality headphones that would be hard to beat.

The SRH-840, top of Shure's first line of headphones, is perhaps the best bargain in mid-level cans out there today. With an MSRP of $199, and a street price significantly lower, it can hang with cans costing three or four times as much.

Shure?SRH840

I paid $200. I have owned a few headphones in my life, including top of the line Sennheisers, which I paid ~$500 for (2005). I love headphones. For $200 I consider these value priced. When compared to the market as a whole, its just not a lot of money, especially when you are aiming for the best.

Shure SRH 840

Shure has a corner on the market for "almost-consumer" in-ear phones thanks to a very thorough distribution network. Now the manufacturer is aiming at the market for "almost-monitoring" headphones.
Pros:
  • Well-distinguished tones
  • Relatively neutral reproduction
  • despite an emphasis on the midrange
Cons:
  • Ear cups are a little small
  • We've heard better soundstage

Great Price/Performance

J&R has a great price[...]. Happy to do business with them once again. The overall performance of this headphone rivals anything double the price. And in most cases surpasses that when talking about closed, as well as every open HP I have had the chance to demo.
Pros:
  • Clear Sound
  • Compact
  • Easy To Use
  • Versatile
Cons:
  • Bulky/Heavy
