All user reviews of 5/5 for the Shure SRH940

Used for one year.

I had several headphones before (AKG K271 / Sennheiser HD25 II / Sony MDR 7509 HD) for a monitoring function. The Shure is the one who gave me the most satisfaction at this price.

headphone that complies with the overall balance of the sound spectrum (neutral good).

It is quite comfortable, little tiring to the ears, but it irritates a little skull after a certain period of use (such as AKG K271). This is not as uncomfortable headphones I've read in another opinion.

The value for money is excellent. This headphone is overall better than all headphones this price range, including the beyerdynamic DT PRO).

Given my musical practice (acousmatic music), I just opt ​​for Ultrasone PRO 900, much better, but obviously more expensive. In the range of 300 euros max headphones, however I would do this choice.

I use this headset for a good week now, I will not give my opinion in comparison to other headphones because I must admit that I did not try the other but in relation to my personal listening.

I use it for the home studio is especially for composing music for the image thus mainly orchestral instruments but I also touch a little electronic music.

The sound is very good, although it renders each instruments. The mids and highs are not shrill and bass precisely dosed.

Level comfort, the headset is quite nice but to quickly warm ears with velvet cushion. It is quite large but not too heavy. The insulation is not yet huge, when the music is quiet you can hear the noise outside, and vice versa can easily hear the sound from the outside of the headphone.

Aesthetically, it is good bah are small weak point it is still a bit plastic and manipulating it creaks a bit everywhere.
The packaging is really good, two supplied cable, a twisted right, spare bearings and a rigid box of transportation.

I bought it on sale for € 155 (about € 230 normally) so I'm very happy. It allows you to dial in optimizing the mix because of its neutrality copy, and is very interesting to listen to music diverse.

How long you use it?
1 month
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
yes all headphones close to the studio
What is so special that you love the most, least? The more sound, and depth, it's hard not mean all! , The stereo, you'd have a semi open headphones on his head.
if the source is good = good sound and vise versa and you understand me
the less the hoop plastic aluminum was parfais level it would now have to see strength in the long term but it is secondary compared to the listening
How would you rate the quality / price? excellent compared to competition are no pictures! With experience, you do again this choice? yes it is but a long term investment

Because nothing is perfect (well if 1000 euros and again ...)

Hello,

How long have you use it?

1 week

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Akg 99, AKG 271 but I read a lot of testing and hsit long before you buy.

What is the particular feature you like best and least? *

As: sound, trs clear, bright. You can feel the sound space, far more than on my akg99 which is semi-open yet. In fact the sounds are shure 940 trsdtaills, there are absolutely everything. A good mix / mastering will be apparent from office. I redcouvre my CD and MP3 Listen to flip the wrong compresssion .. (missing almost sounds
At the cost of a duo Tonny Bennett / Bill Evans on an amp luxman (correct without more) tonny before us a bill ct m and 2 / 3 m and I hear his feet on pedals ... the slap ...!!!

for electro .. funk .. pinkfloyd almost nothing going on nickel medium bass .. .. .. Acute
Live and for c the top. Neutral sound but rich ..

All dpendra the amp ... and whether the treble down a bit it's nothing.

As a pianist I put the headphone for the cost of a CD of Bill Evans and I realize it's weird .. I tilt and I reverse the Earphone L / R. and suddenly I'm at the piano with the treble and bass my right left. Just the opposite of someone that costs facing the piano. Simple and bte but the subtleties of touch and the spatial rvle IMMEDIATE.

The least: a bit of a fan I would love a vintage headphone design a little more but the quality is frankly the appointment. there is a pro studio headphones and shows.
Otherwise some will say that the treble out much but in fact it's like in the Ralite if you want to prsence. but it is easy for gre COST hifi. and very practical for the composition.


The package is at the top with velvet cushion replacement two cables: a twisted and the other not. therefore interchangeable ...

and a semi-rigid cover for transportation .. gnial (I carry my Audio Kontrol 1 sound card in a t-shirt to avoid breakage under class .. huh!)


on the other hand as I have a marantz 1050 amp and I'm wondering if I ncessaire to have a headphone amplifier adapted to push at best.
