Shure SRH440A Over-Ear Wired Headphones for Monitoring & Recording, Professional Studio Grade, Enhanced Frequency Response, Work with All Audio Devices, Adjustable & Collapsible Design - 2022 Version

Fantastic headphones! Great quality audio, comfortable as you like, good length detachable cord, comes with jack adapter and cord screws in to ensure you can't accidentally pull it out.

I usually go for Marshall headphones as they honour a good deep bass sound (to enjoy rock/metal) but the wired headphones do not come with long leads. I needed one for my Yamaha electronic drum kit.I have bought a Shure headset mic (to sing while drumming) and am very happy with the overall quality so opted for these Shure headphones, especially, also, for the long wired lead.They are excellent build quality (really soft and easy over the ears) and the sound quality is very crisp and clear. The true tone of every strike of drum & cymbals very accurate. The only thing is that the output favours & celebrates slightly more towards the 'treble' spectrum so if you need more bass to balance in then might have to adjust your input accordingly. A quality product and listening experience.

Bought these to replace a pair of old school SRH440s after becoming a victim of a common structural issue - the 440A is of a much sturdier, solid construction without sacrificing that signature Harman tuning which makes the SRH440 series a truly ideal monitoring headphone for DJs, producers, and mix & mastering engineers alike.Truly the best cans one will ever own for the price range, BUT with an important caveat - the SRH440A's ear pads are much thicker compared to the original 440 and are made of PU instead of leather, this provides much better noise cancellation at the cost of likely faster wear & tear, and of pushing the tuning towards the bass-heavy end.My personal solution was to swap the ear pads for the leather ones, which resulted in an identical sound to the original. It's possible that I just may not have been patient enough to break the new pads in, but I'd recommend purchasing a set of original Shure leather ear pads if pinpoint accuracy is a concern.These are also infinitely more comfortable to wear than the original 440s - the headband padding has been upgraded significantly (i.e. it actually HAS some padding now) so these are very well suited to long-haul wear without the same chafing issues are the original.Overall, a stellar improvement to an already stellar headphone. Buying anything else in this price bracket will surely disappoint!

I was advised to buy pro earphones for (midi) music editing. I didn't realise how much clearer the sound is than through cheaper/basic one's. These are closed back which apparently works better for my needs. Medium weight with nice cushioned earpads. Which rotate and the headband extends readily. I wear them between one and two hours each time and they do not feel hot or uncomfortable.They were not the most expensive but work well. I am happy with them.

.With UPDATE.This is a reassuringly weighty pair of headphones. They fit perfectly and won't fall off if you tilt your head. The earcups cover my ears completely and exclude most exterior sounds. The well padded earcups are very comfortable and having used them for six hours I really don't notice them..The sound is excellent. Having listened to the 4 CD's of the 1967 The Monterey International Pop Festival with a line-up including Eric Burdon & The Animals, Big Brother & The Holding Company (w Janis Joplin), The Byrds, Otis Redding, Hendrix & Scott McKenzie I have no complaints about the audio reproduction..However, what is almost completely hidden in the product photos are the thin audio cables connecting the headband adjustment slider to the earcups. The designers have decided not to run them internally where they would never get snagged or pulled. This is a concerning decision! They have put them on the outside where I just know that they will eventually be damaged..Most of my headphones fall apart around the headband adjustment slider because they just clip together and break very easily. The Shure designers have done something correctly - they have used screws to hold the slider together. Well done..Hopefully this pair of headphones WILL last more than six months of constant use!.UPDATE 22nd June 2021Having used the Shure SRH440-BK-EFS Professional Headphones for four weeks I am pleased to say again that they are a great buy..I use them for extended periods and I don't even notice that they are there. They do not grip my ears too tightly and, surprisingly, during a few exceptionally hot days the ear cushions do not get sweaty! Hopefully the ear cushion covers will not start to disintegrate for many months - replacement ear cushions are available if that does happen..I have not yet caught a wayward finger in the ridiculous cable loops on the OUTSIDE of the slider. I hope that I continue to be snag free!.

Bought for DJing, robust build,great quality..Sound great 💯👍
