Shure SRH940 Professional Reference Headphones - Designed for Critical Listening, Studio Monitoring & Mastering, Ideal for Pro Audio Engineers and In-Studio Talent, Includes Straight and Coiled Cables

I got these based on the recommendation of a friend. I use these to mix down music tracks in my studio. They are very comfortable better than other headphones I’ve had in the past these ranks superior. The felt air cushions makes it much much enjoyable for long periods of time of listening to music, other than the leather ear foams that make you sweat the quality is superior I can hear all the elements in a song through these headphones which makes mixing and leveling sounds much easier. I never really liked headphones in the studio while I was mixing because I believe as long as I had good reference monitors , I don’t have to have something covering my ears but these guys are very comfortable and the sound quality follows that. Although I will remain mixing without headphones, but when I have to mix critical portions of the mix, I wil reach for these very quickly.

Considering their current price these phones are really good. Left/Right spread is good with reasonable soundstage and a fairly flat presentation. I’m not sure why some find the bass low. Based on music I am familiar with including my own the phones are faithful in timbre. They certainly aren’t bass shy.The only concern are the plastic frame, particularly the ears on the way too easy to swivel. The case, extra pads, and two types of cables are welcomed.A pleasant surprise in terms of capability.

These headphones have a good quality of sound, they fall a little short in the bass area though. They have phenomenal highs and mids, but not a lot of bass. The bass sound is great just not enough of it. I previously had a pair of Beats Pro Audio, they had amazing bass, and great highs, but the mids lacked. I listen to mostly classic rock and metal, so the mids are hugely important. Just go ahead and pass on these headphones if you listen to rap, hip hop or any other bass driven music. Personally I'm happy with these for the price, I just have turn the bass a little higher.

Excellent quality

Very detailed sound image.

The ear phone part broke offI do not recommend

Simply the best sounding closed back headphones you can buy, at any price. More expensive headphones might give you greater comfort, or a better build quality, possibly both, but they will absolutely be a downgrade in sound.

Was missing straight cord and threaded adapter. Can’t get replacement pieces so had to send it back.

Claridad, precision. Buena resistencia a la distorsion pero en musica cargada de graves es un poco notoria. Le doy 9 de 10 en calidad de sonido. Comodidad un 8 por ser bastante voluminosos. En calidad de materiales un 7 x ser mucho plastico y se ven fragiles, digo pague 4100 pesos!!! A mi no me molesta el brillo ya que escucho de todo, de todo. Desde Wagner hasta Death Metal, Psy trance, jazz, cumbia y salsa, balada, pop, Instrumental, death metal, opera etc. Sus bajos son secos, limpios y controlados. Si quieres uno que retumbe y te vuele la cabeza busca otro tipo de firma. En general satisfecho. Los estoy quemando porque de inicio si se oyen muy brillosos y hasta opacos. Ya despues de 40 horas su sonido cambia para bien. Los uso en mi celular con VLC y archivos MP3 a 320 kbps, WAV y FLAC a 16 bit. Los graves se solucionan con una correcta ecualizacion, ya sea para subir o bajarlos, y tambien depende de la calidad del archivo y como fue grabado en el estudio. Pero nada q no se pueda arreglar.Actualizacion: Abril 2024. No se han roto como dicen las reseñas de otros usuarios y eso que los uso DIARIO. Me los llevo al trabajo, los uso en el transporte publico, los aviento, los doblo y siguen enteros. El sonido es fenomenal, claro necesitas usar FLAC o WMA a 16 o 24 bit o minimo MP3 a 320 kbps y un buen ecualizador. No necesitas DAC por que son de baja impedancia, pero si lo tienes mucho mejor. No me arrepiento de haber gastado $ 4100. 00 pesos. En un futuro ire x un modelo superior ya sea el 1400 o el 1800. Shure no me fallo.
