All user reviews of 5/5 for the Shure SRH440

I use it for two weeks.

yes I have tried other models before.

unbeatable value for money and I would do this choice without hesitation report.

I wanted a fairly neutral headphones to allow me to play bass on my computer, I

already has a very good headphone (denon ah-d600), which is a beautiful headphones to listen

music play a game or watch a movie, but that is not really suitable for

practice bass on songs already mastered ... as often told each headphone

its usefulness, so I went to my local store an instrument music store but

which also sells headphones, so I could try the same bass and amp that I even

has, I started a pro HD280 ... I did not like hugs too comfortable head and

sound was not to my taste too much bass and not enough treble, I followed the pro hd380

same conclusion ... too low and not enough treble too tight head, I followed with a

sony 7506 too acute not enough bass ... by screaming against his comfort was good,

Then I tried a akg240 studio Comfortable but I found the sound slightly

cloudy with a midrange presence too in the foreground with a little touch

nasal, and then I came across the shure srh 440 and then the revelation clear sound

clear with no sail a good return frequencies upwards good bass

present but not intrusive low and high excellent medium and pitched well and this

clear but not attacking, this headphone is of exceptional clarity, no need to amp

either these headphones 44ohms impedance sounds as loud as my volume equal to denon

25ohms, in terms of comfort I know that opinions are quite divided over but

for me they are very comfortable I can wear them for 2-3 hours without a problem, this tells us

not all have the same head size so ideally try before you buy. for my

share this headset is definitely a very good monitoring headphones.

I used to practice my bass and do cover low.

it adapts to my head and my ears otherwise I would not have purchased, comfort is important too.

I found comfortable for long session.

the headphone is well built and feels solid, it's plastic but thick plastic of good quality.

the connection is detachable so more if something goes wrong.

Audio quality is very good.

sound level is fine.

it insulates well enough.

My Sennheiser HD212pro having passed away, I decided to spend a higher speed, by paying me a real headphone (yet practical) for home (music, lounge, pc). I did not want to retry the experiment Senheiser (its too dark for my taste). After much research I ended up opting for the SRH440, and I do not regret.

The headphone looks solid, it comes with a jack and a beautiful gold leather pouch. The HP can fold. It is a little heavy but it does not shock me. on the other hand depending on how it is placed, the back of their ears quickly irritated!

Indicators left / right in blue and red are pretty and practical. The overall design is quite simple and just typed the 80's, I personally love!

Regarding the sound, that's where it gets interesting!

In fact the sound is generally very clear, very clear. The bass is there but unlike other reviews online, I can not find it excessive, they are dynamic on the other hand! The low mids are a bit to pick up more at once without the vocals are a little behind, lack of presence. The mids / high mids are clear, sharp cutting, precise and sharp without being hyper aggressive and crunchy. A real treat.
The record is actually very modern, there emerges a kind of permanent energy, fishing can sometimes change a few pieces, some appeleront that the "coloring". Yet the accuracy and precision instruments to rediscover the pieces: Full details and nuances that do not necessarily hear with headphones to the same budget. The trouble is that you will receive all the defects of a poorly encoded mp3, recording messed up, etc., but it's good for fnalement the mix! For now I found it very very comfortable on jazz, rock / blues, pop, and not bad at all on the metal. He should excel in classical and in respect of electronic and modern music, I almost felt like it was designed for!
