I bought the SRH 940'S and by god there incredible headphones. The quality from the headphones is not at all like your really there, its more like you enter a whole different world when putting them on. The best way to describe it, is you are truly listening to the purest of audio.

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.

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.

Still getting used to their revealing nature. Have heard new things on familiar recordings. Adds to the realism.

When a pair of cans is destined to spend its life indoors, size isn't much of an issue. And these Shures are unashamedly large, padded and Cyberman-esque - we can't see many folks taking them on the Tube.

Open; transparent sound; well integrated across frequency range; comfy to wear

Revealing sound might not be to everyone's tastes

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...

When I got these headphones I was so happy, especially at the price I was getting them for, but when I was buying these from Hi End Surplus, I was nervous, but I got them to my house, a tad late, but I got them!

Have never owned a pricey headset... extremely comfortable,comes with a nice case, and the sound is spot on!!!

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.

- 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.

Generally good on top quality recordings

Slightly relaxed in the low register and harsh at times
