Shure SRH-940 Headphones Review: Serious Bang For The Buck

Shure has been killing it for years with their line of professional in-ear monitors. In 2010, they turned their attention to full-sized headphones. Does the SRH-940, their latest and greatest closed-back model, earn its keep?

Shure SRH940

These phones will not withstand any rough treatment whatsoever. They break just above the swivel. If you have these phones and they have not broken yet, reinforce the band just above the swivel with electrical tape and treat them with extreme caution.
Pros:
  • Sound beautiful
Cons:
  • Break very easily

don't buy these

The Shure SRH940 have a clean design to them and they are very comfortable to use. An engineer once told me about these headphones and we had a headphone discussion. The sound of them is not bad, but I do have some issues with the mids and the lows.

Shure SRH 940

- I am quite happy with my purchase -- especially at the price I paid. At $300 I think it would still be a good deal. The SRH940 is a quite different headphone from my previous cans, but is an improvement in almost every way.
Pros:
  • Generally good on top quality recordings
Cons:
  • Slightly relaxed in the low register and harsh at times

Shure SRH940 Professional Reference Headphones

In 2010, Shure floored us with their new studio headphones. The SRH840 were super-comfortable, sounded fantastic, and delivered a smooth sound that was non-fatiguing. Since that time, they have been our go-to headphones at the mixing desk whenever we want to evaluate mixes or do some tracking.

"Very nice all around headphones for recording, monitoring, and analyzing musical material. They have great bang for the buck and"

I have several other nice sets of headphones and these are significantly better than all the others. They are very flat with lots of midrange detail. They sound more balanced than my other headphones that cost twice as much.

Excellent reference headphones

Whether you're a professional sound engineer, at home producer, or simply someone who likes to listen to their music with truly good quality equipment, I could not recommend these more. Beautiful extended but not at all sibilant, astounding mids, and the bass is tight and still very present.

Great monitors

Very comfy full sized headphones. It provides decent isolation and great details and is very neutral. Frequency range is very wide giving nice treble as well as bass details. Slightly less upper bass compared with srh440 and srh840 but the extra detail made me want to listen to my music all over...
