Here I am today looking at these because of seeing their relatively flat frequency response. And, I'm an unbox therapy fan.
It's really weird seeing unbox therapy before 7 years ago
no tatoo ?
I bought this headphone 6 months ago and it is just amazing. I repeated all the songs and movies which I usually listen and watch and it seemed I am listening and watching them again. Listened to new sounds that I missed when listening to cheaper headphones.
Please do NOT buy this headphones if you are making studio recordings. They are making a clicking noise if you move your head during the session which ends up in the recordings. I have even try to use silicon lubrication but that doesn't help.
Saw this video 4-5 years ago, bought it and it broke within 6 months. Never liked it in terms of construction, felt very plasticky, rigid, and vulnerable to break. Don't even remember how they sounded, given that I had a bad experience with comfort, fit, and feel. Didn't have a decent return policy in my country at the time.
I just buy it today and I will give it back to shop directly because not comfortable at all even not for 1 hour use top of your head start to pain and disturbing while making mix or recording .Sound quality not so amazing .
PEOPLE NEW TO SHURE HEADPHONES READ PLEASE: The materials used by Shure on these headphones is subpar, they will break at the hinge in a year or less. Some people have suggested that head size might be a factor, i have a relatively big head so make of that what you will. People with smaller heads seem to have no problem with them though.
Hi there , I’m using srh 440 for several years and I’m totally satisfied with them except one thing they are not Bluetooth and now I’m looking for a deep base and high res professional Bluetooth on ear or over ear headphones . Would you have any recommendations for me? For me clear sound and deep base are important factors i only wear them at home or studio not in the street!
Is the headband also replaceable?

Shurely you jest
Thoses are the exact phones i use i LOVE them
I'm listening to this review on a pair of SRH440 headphones! ;)
Watching in August 2019
I'm actually thinking about buying these
Shure se 112 are alot cheaper and probably close too be as good as.these
I would save a bit more and go for the 840´s. These are plastic and are not as durable, i had a pair and they broke quite easily, the 840's are way more durable and have better frequency response than these.
Shure there good

Hi Metal571 once you recomended me the k371 for mixing and thank you - now after some time researching am debating between AKG371,K550,K553, SONY7506,SRH440,SRH840 i think all of these are good reference heardphones, which one would translate better between these? and second question are the 371 durable? i heard many ppl complaining about the build so i dont wanna end up spending money and be afraid they will break easily. thank you.
cause i already bought this headphones and ik for sure they will snap at some point , im thinking of using hinge and headband from MDR7506 which is more robast and its only about 20-25$ for it

Hi Metal! I like how these headphones sound, but I've already broken two of them after a year of normal use. They broke in the headband near the little screws. What do you think about AKG k240 studio in comparison with the srh440, is for home studio mixing purposes
This ones have a more neutral sound or the akg's 361? Im looking for something very "acurate" to the original sound , of course, in this price range
Im looking for some headphones that sounds really flat, but in this price range, would you recommend these or something else? I was thinking about the m40x, but some people say that these have some "punchy bass"
It's odd how shure mics are tanks but their headphones i am scared of falling off my desk onto a carpet floor
i have a pair, the plastic headband snapped only after about 3 months of use
Hi! I own the 440 and love them. Price-to-performance considered, I think they're the best closed back out there. I know that this is an old video but will you say that the Beyerdynamic DT770 is a direct upgrade from these? What about the DT880? Thanks!
Thanks for this great review. May I ask which one do you recommend for daily music listening? Takstar pro80 or shure 440?
Was real excited to get these headphones but then ended up really disappointed and ended up selling them. Made me realize the difference between headphones that are meant for enjoyment, and headphones that are meant for recording. Also I kept making pools of sweat in the earcups haha.
I used to own these. They are supposed to be for tracking, but my experience says otherwise. The plastic hinges tend to creak with the movement of the jaw when singing, which is infuriating when picked up by the recording, and also tend to 'big-up' the sound, which causes vocalist to give a very underwhelming are also heavy and not particularly stable, which could prove to be a nightmare for drummers. I've seen many people on many internet forums claim these SRH440s to be great for mixing, but that us not true because they are very forgiving with regard to the signal applied to them, Consequently, it's very easy to dial up a mix that sounds terrific through them, but you'll find that mix sounds completely different on loudspeakers and less-coloured headphones. On my set, the cable that goes over the headband fatigued and broke at the hinge after about a couple of years. I tried to repair it but something went wrong (I can't remember what), so I just threw it in the bin. In my estimation, these should be considered as great-sounding hifi headphones that are completely unsuitable for use in the recording studio at all levels. If you want a nice, stable and inexpensive set of headphones for monitoring, I recommend the Sennheiser HD205.
Tell me please. What is better for you. Sennheiser HD599 or Shure 840?
sir, can you use these on a guitar amplifier without using a pre amp?
How do you compare these to the 280 pro?
I purchased these as compare to athm40x . Don't like m40x soundstage. I could listen 440 more than m40x.
Are you going to review the SRH 840? They are getting cheaper, I got a pair for €100
math30x or this?
i ordered these for 89usd in india. ath m40x n other are bit costly. should i made right decision. in most reviews all said these are flat. bass is flat n neutral than ath. I'm not fond of electronic music so i order these instead of ath m40x. should i change its padding?

Great, accurate review. I bought some of these in November 2011 and they finally appeared to have died yesterday (mid-July 2020). I've used them every day (particularly for the past few years) and they've never let me down. I was going to try some other headphones but I can't imagine using anything else!
All the best for your 1k subs

I mix and produce classical music. These headphones are great for that even though their price is impressively low.
@jake pool music any ideas what is a good headphone for casual listener that likes a bit more base - not a super flat headphone graph? thx
After a lot of reviews and as a musician and pilot, THANK YOU for this review. THE most complete in terms of detailed specs and day over day use. Regards from Portugal
I have a pair of these and find it's hard to even hear much bass. Makes mixing tracks difficult. I also have some audio technica ath-m50x but they are on the other extreme - way too bassy. Why can't some company just make a decent, well-balanced pair of headphones
I play alot of heavy metal on guitar. will they withstand the distortion?
It give the tru sound
I have one and it's very good
ATH-M40x have been my favorite for years (not a fan of the M50x as they aren't close to flat), but I'm thinking of trying a pair of these Shure SRH440.
LOL whenever someone suggests that a balanced, flat frequency reproducing set of headphones may not be the best for actual listening (?!). Since when should the headphone be expected to alter the music? Apparently, since bass-addicted non-audio posers have biased the mediocre mass marketing of such products. Monitoring requires the best frequency reproduction, which should in all cases provide the closest thing to the artist/engineer's concept. Play with your tone controls if you must, but never confuse what you have come to desire, with the music as it was intended.
Great review, very accurate description!
just ordered a pair of these!I use Audio Technica ATH-M30X that are great but very crampy at the end of the day!
Do u hear the plasticy sounds when they are on your head? I hear that plasticy creaking with mt5 Yamahas and it’s super annoying!
today i have shure srh440
Excellent review on all levels.
Do they work with vmoda boom pro mic?
Will they work on the IPhone se
Hearing is very mental, each person processes sound differently and often based on their own personal conditioning. Everyone adjusts an equalizer differently, take a song, and set the EQ to flat, then ask someone to adjust it to what they think sounds best, you'll see each person chooses different settings. Our minds also interpret sound differently. Using monitor headphones, my preference is to hear as much spectrum of sound than not when recording. In podcasting and radio, you're usually distributing the final product as was when it was recorded. Anything sent to a sound engineer, he/she is going to appreciate when the sound guy or artist is hearing more of the spectrum, which means less mistakes or issues are missed in a recording before going to engineering. Hope that makes sense, and probably more than needed to be said. Just remember headphone monitors are very much just like the EQ example I gave above, it's more mental.
strange, dr sean olive once said 7506 was ranked super high for sound quality. dr sean o worked for harman not sony and sony cannot just paid money and let dr sean over-rank 7506. I also found some FR profile online and found there are some measurement differences betweeen different measurement. I'm assuming weather olive is wrong or 7506 is too old that different 7506 copies have some differences.
Howard Stern only uses that sony mdr 7506. Can it be that bad, or uncomfortable at all?
For me the pads on the Sony MDR7506 are crap I change mine for better ones
Its hard to watch headphone reviews without an anime girl to look at. Headphones are the liars bench of pro audio gear, and Sony hasn't been relevant since 2003, fuck Sony! this is cans! not consoles! It was prosumer garbage when it was you think thees hopelessly out of date products Sony desperately tries to keep on the market have improved with age? maybe in some alternate dimension Sony is still the king of cans, like I finally watched that spider verse movie and thought that Sony headphones where in there as a joke, like, "get it, Its an alternate universe where people still buy Sony headphones" Then i remembered that that Sony made the move, and it was brand placement. Sony should probably stick to movies that look like video games, and video games that look like movies. and keep their consumer electronics garbage on the screen where it belongs, if Sony was a brand you only saw in movies and weren't able to actually buy, it would actually help way you'd associate them with their legacy of top of the line audio gear, without facing the disappointing reality of what they've become.I guess what I'm saying is keep Sony headphones in the spiderverse, where they belong.
the treble on the 7506 is dog shit can hear it in sound demos and measurements i couldnt get myself to buy them. the mids are more neutral on srh440. thanks for confirming 440 better lol.
I have in the past plugged my headphones into a mic jack to make an announcement. Roughbut it works when your mic breaks. Very obscure.
To be honest, I was kinda hopeful for the Sonys. way back when I got my 440's, I was looking at Sony, but could only find the small ear cup models that they sale at the retail stores. Shure is what my local music store (not CD land) sold at the time, $100 sounded right and they didn't suck that's for sure. Not knowing anything about features and quality back then, I was more interested in them not moving around or falling off my head while playing guitar or drums. luckily, they weren't just another pretty marketing strategy. I have bought a lot of Sony gear over the years, and like Shure, they've always brought a good amount of satisfaction to the table. But TASCAM, not so such, I'm a Fostex fanboi - if I could find a set of Fostex headphones like the ones I had before the 440's, those would be an awesome shootout indeed ;-) Loaned them out, never came back.
Looking forward to more of these.
