Product Information

Again, the fit here is not aggressively awful…but it’s really noticeable on the head and not super ideal for long sessions. If plush comfort is an absolute must, odds are good you won’t love these. Alex Rowe, Medium Isolation This will revert to the most recent unit tried if there is a significant time gap between the last and most recent times I tried a particular model. Shure have been leaders in the audio technology industry for over ninety years and they are famous for their commitment to strong, high quality, durable audio equipment and this undoubtedly extends to their SRH440 professional headphones. Featuring the strong, durable build you expect from Shure, the SRH440s also have a detachable cable and replaceable earpads so if you should need to you can easily replace these components without having to replace the entire set of headphones. They tend to hug your head in all of the wrong ways, and you most certainly feel them given how large they are but also how much they dig; into the top of your head as well as the sides. In addition to that,

Extremely uneven tuning, mediocre resolution, not a great choice unless you only want a wide soundstage.Mostly neutral, slight bass lift, highly resolving and natural both in tone and timbre. The world's best headphone. This list is meant to be used as a reference point. I highly recommend against blind-buying and suggest to have a listen to the headphones yourself. By all means, use this to shortlist what you should try in the future but don’t take it as gospel. I know it may seem that I am a little down on the Shure SRH-440 headphones when it comes to sound quality, this couldn't be further from the truth. The sound quality is excellent it’s just that to me it is excellent in what I would want in a studio monitor headphone as opposed to a highly engaging listening device. In day-to-day use as my sole recreational daily driver, I could see myself easily demanding more from the Shure headphone when I just want to enjoy my tunes.

Prices are at MSRP in USD. Prices not directly available in USD are based off the exchange rate during the time of writing. The headphone that the elites love to hate... isn't that bad. An alright starter headphone, if generally overrated. When I sit down and think about it, there’s really only one headphone that comes to mind in the entry-level mixing category that’s just about as popular/well known as my beloved Sony MDR-7506.Smooth and warm tone. Bass is somewhat loose at times. Treble has sparkles and at the same time sounds smooth. But relative to bass and treble, upper mids and lower treble are somewhat recessed, making the headphones' sound colored. Some people may feel them musical and full, but I prefer the Tascam TH02 at a lower price. The appearance is very good, though, with some feel of high quality. Very comfortable to wear with memory foam pads.
