Shure SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones Review

My only problem with the design: the helmet became uncomfortable after an hour or two of constant use, this should not be a problem with a pair of long recording sessions. In the table, you can get a detachable cable, a carry case and an adapter for the most 1/4-inch headphone jack. The headphones fold easily inside the bag. Since the cable is usually the first thing to do in most headsets and headphones, you can easily replace, it's a good thing. And you rarely see a cable with a headphone in this price range.

I like how the handles SRH440 low frequencies. The drivers are able to reproduce the frequencies normally handled by a subwoofer, even at high volume, I noticed no distortion. In my testing, pumping, synthesizer and drum strokes resonance Silent Shout The Knife treated with grace, there is much more to provide a thrust of flat response, the bass response, but far from overwhelming. I could even say ideal. The high-end frequency response is very strong, and only occasionally a little 'too bright for my tastes. A note for musicians, high volume, there are significant losses that could take a vocal microphone, but it is quite normal, even with headphones for the investigation.

Our Head Acoustics frequency response tests show a significant increase of about 10kHz, which in some cases, adds brightness to the whole sound, but others can make things seem a little 'too severe.

Although less than $ 30 a pair of Shure, the SR60, with its open design (the headphones in your ears sit instead of creating a seal around it) projects sound to the outside, it is not appropriate for registration. Un po 'more expensive, Sennheiser HD238 ($ 139.95) are comparable to SRH440 both in terms of price and sound quality, but also projects for the development of sound, so it is not easy registration. But for music lovers to search for the lowest frequency of the subwoofer, the HD238 pack a little 'more than a handful SRH440, and also less bright in the high frequencies, as well as our head of graphics illustrate Acoustics.

Most headphones quality recording comes with two things that SRH440: a plan of response and a high price. It is not uncommon to pay more than $ 200 for a pair of Sennheiser or AKG, the two brands. Therefore, the incursion into the Shure earbuds with a low-cost models shakes things a little '. The SRH440 is accessible and offers more low-end response that the typical studio headphones, as the musicians rap, electronic, or hard rock are more likely to benefit from this pair, like the music fans are fans of these genres
