All user reviews of 3/5 for the Shure SRH940

Used these for half a year and thought these were absolutely fantastic until once tried the much cheaper Sennheiser HD 200 Pro. In contrast with the Sennheisers the sound of SRH940 is very unbalanced, with over-the-top highs and rather bleak lows. Such a distortion may be good for casual listening but not for mixing and mastering. To much of my surprise, with the Sennheisers I managed to hear much more subtle nuances in my mixes which I could not hear with SRH940. I don't say these headphones are bad, they are decent and much more comfortable to wear than the cheap plastic Sennheisers but their sound is certainly not great, at least it doesn't worth the price, although they come with a fine case and a pair of detachable cables (Sennheiser HD 200 Pro's cable is not detachable). I think Shure is an amazing brand when it comes to mics but it seems their headphones are nothing but okay.

I do not do this choice, too bad.
I will turn over to the in-ear if I had to choose a headphone that mark.

WARNING: many reviews on the net join my experience.

I use this headset for work mixing surround sound.
this headset is quite nice to wear, although the headband pads are not dense enough that can get after a certain period of use discomfort on the top of the skull.
it wraps fine ears, and headsets are very comfortable, no unpleasant pressure is to be deplored on this point.

This headphone, although professional remains an unfortunate weakness for this range and price. If Shure did not skimp on sound quality are using may not be possible due to certain breaks that can occur at the scale of the arch. The thin plastic unreinforced this place supports all the tensions of a headphone that is large enough addition.
For my part, the Left Party has broken in the fall from the top of a table. Some weeks later after hacked repair, wanting to put my headphones around his neck, the R party has broken has its turn.

The quality is very good, the insulation is effective, but if its use is not then what good give a good note.

I use it for some days, all styles in home studio.

These headphones lack a little warmth if its level is very good, I rediscover albums. It insulates fairly well from the outside, means what is around as if we were in a box. on the other hand must not touch her thread, otherwise it's like scratching on the box.

Unfortunately, comfort is disappointing. The ear part is very comfortable, but the arch is poorly thought rigid bar with hard plastic just as "shock absorbers" in contact with the top of the skull (the part or most of the support is made) 4 leather chairs of a small thickness. It would have taken at least one band CONTINUOUS damping for greater burden-sharing and a little thicker. If you have the top of the skull not perfectly flat headphone you will create a localized support from the nasty poses.
Forced to knit a bit of stuff, not serious for the price.

If it all over again, so for listening, not for comfort, sony is better. I am very attached to comfortable for long, so I would have preferred perhaps a little less good in sound and more comfortable. Conclusion: Not for me, unless you know knitting: (

I am indulgent I put 6/10 for sound quality but for me comfort is really a no-go
