Shure SRH440 Studio Headphones  

The over-ear design is done well. The phones don't squish my ears like other headphones do. The removable cable is a nice feature.

The build quality is okay, but they have that crackily plastic sound when you move them around.

I would consider these headphones a good price if you can find them for less

Although these headphones sound nice, they aren't very comfortable. They feel fine on my ears, but they hurt the top of my head after about an hour of use.

i really like the overall sound.especially being able to mix on an accurate even level.it gives levels from high to low and in between.lets you hear what your mix will be more true than guessing through less even headphones.very happy with this purchase.im thinkin about maybe getting more pairs to please my fellow players.thanks

A year ago I decided to purchase some headphones that not only sound good but also have a reasonable price. While reading forums, reviews, and looking around different websites I ran across these headphones and they had a huge amount of great reviews and and the price seemed reasonable, given the great features that were advertised with the product; so I decided to buy them and I was very satisfied.

Sound:

Sound wise, these headphones have an incredible frequency response (10 Hz – 22 kHz) that allows you to hear a crystal clear sound that includes a full and rich bass and incredible mids and highs. The lows,mids, and highs are balanced in such away that allow the headphones to produce great sound regardless of the type of music you're listening to. Compared to other headphones at the same price (like the hd280's) these ones are  better in terms of sound quality. 10/10 for sound. Also speaking of sound, these headphones block out a lot of outside noise. I use them for drumming and although they're not the best for drums, they get the job done.

Construction Quality:

Although these headphones are made from plastic, they are sturdy and they will last for a reasonably long time. They are a bit heavy when you put them on. The ear cups are soft at first but after 6 months or so, cracks started to show up on them and now that its been about a year they both have cracks going almost all the way around. The good thing is that you can replace the ear pads for a low price but I would've been happier if they lasted longer. The headband doesn't put enough pressure against the head in my opinion and this is a problem for me especially when I'm drumming because whenever I move my head, they leak sound in. 7/10 for construction quality.

Overall, given the amazing sound these headphones produce and given the price, they are worth it. Whether you want headphones for the studio or headphones that produce a great sound, these will get the job done. Although there are better headphones, given the features and the price of these headphones, they are excellent. Get them.

I just received these phones and enjoyed not tripping over the straight cord because they come with a detatchable coiled cord that extends perfectly in my home music studio.

I come from many years working in quality control and must say Shure's QC department was on the job the day these phones came into production. Customer satisfaction. 

It's tuff finding quality products these day's but the price is fare, alotta bang for the buck with these babies.

The first thing I did was to listen to some of my finished recorded song tracks and was amazed at the reproduction sound quality. The type of media and speakers music is played through makes a world of difference and these 40mm drivers do it! Oh and I also am a fan of Shure mics also.

Although, the cord tangles easy, its a great buy! I love it!

I love these headphones.      I bought 3 of them. For the price they are amazing.      Definitely better than box store headphones!!      These headphones are sturdy and tough as well.      Since I have three, I only used the 2 on special occasions and used just one.      I don't know how many times I've dropped them... ha ha.      Of course I might have to try the Dr. Dre headphones because they're AMAZING, but thats like an expensive set.      But yeah, these are definitely good.. Great buy!
