New Shure Professional Headphones Introduction (MusikMesse 2009)

[shaygahweh]

The 840's will make you listen for hours and hours :-)

The sound gives the impression of fullness. A sense of scale. And the bass response is the most faithful of any headphones I've ever listened to. They nailed it with this one.

Hahaha, once you have these, you kinda beging to look at poeple with Beats as idiots!

I can't decide between the 440 and 840. Do the 440s 'reveal' or 'produce' flat frequencies? My perception is that the 440 is honest, but the 840 makes the music sound better - am I right? I'm planning to use my headphones for BOTH mixing AND everyday listening. I need to make sure I EQ my bass and treble right but I don't want to have the music I listen to daily sound slightly duller with a neutral pair of headphones. Suggestions? :(

@nackforsweets The 440's are great for everyday listening. The bass sounds great and the highs and mids sound amazing as well. The 840's have an extended frequency response so you can probably hear better bass and highs. If you're going for the 840's you should also check out Beyerdynamic dt700 headphones. They have a frequency response of 5-35,000 and block out a good amount of noise. Btw, the 440's are unmatched in their price range.

SRH840 is amazing!!! Testimonial here.

[ertuygbhinj]

why these rather than the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro?

[Svenskarnasegna123]

I've got SRH440, I think they are cool. But They aren't to sexy.. Kind of looks to big. Or maybe that's just me. But I love them! ^^

[Josephers]

What does "tracking" mean? Is a "tracking headphone" the headphone given to the performer when you're recording in the studio?

[LP1995XL]

might get 440... i dont want my beats to get messed up

[Bosingr]

So Michael,

how soon will the 840 be available? Late July? August? Like the other guy, I'd like to try one out.

[hawaiiancerveza]

headsolutions has um available

[nite4141]

Cool!

I have the SE530 PTH and it has become an inseparable part of my life!! One question? Is the SRH840 better than the SE530 PTH?

[hawaiiancerveza]

i really can't say but from what Ive read for closed cans they sound good and have a pretty wide sound stage. I have the 840 but a friend of mine has the 530 but they are in-ears. These have a little more highs. I use it with my ibasso d10 cobra. its a DAC/amp and it sounds really good. if you liked the 530s then you'll like these sound quality wise.

[llDefecTedll]

I got the Denons but taking them back my M-audio can't handle them as my maudio drives 75 ohms I think . Anyways would these work on my m-audio 410 firewire ? I can't find the specs for these headphones ! Help please ! My Maudio with Denon D5000 sound good , but the sounds like leads sound far in the back so its hard to mix on them !

I also have the SE530 PTH and I carry it everywhere I go. It was a investment for me, but definitely worth it. I have high respect for Shure, and wondering if I should also get these SRH840's. :-)

@nite4141

No

The SE530 is Shure's best product, the SRH440 and 840 are great but not as accurate as the SE530.

Best buy being the SRH440, an absolute winner for the price.

Very nice, i got V-Moda vibe duo's, but i send them back 3 times already. Right now they are still in Hollywood for repairs. Not that there is something wrong with the audio, but the cable always breakes. (Like all cables do)

Right now i'd like to test one of those SRH440 or SRH840 models from Shure, if i sometime get the chance to try them out sometime.
