Works as expected-- sound is great playing all formats-- easy to use. Wish it had an on/off capability versus unplug to switch back to PC speakers.

Shure's SRH range of professional headphones claims to be the first choice for "music obsessives." Well, as far as the SRH440s are concerned, we would position them slightly further down their pecking order.

Them bottom line is the sound. And they sure are the BEST I've heard. I can see myself using these phones for a long time. The highs, mids and lows are very even. I actually hear things on these phones that I didn't hear before.

A great set of cans is essential whether you spend a lot of time in the studio or play drums live to a click-track. A relative newcomer to the professional headphone space, Shure has taken their expertise with in-ear monitoring and microphones and applied it to this essential area of sound...

Recently purchase a pair of SRH440 as a gift. Had the budget set at around $100 USD give or take depending on quality and what is available. What I needed were a set of closed cans that can be driven easily by ipod/iphone.

if you are considering buying the shure 440's, that's fine, but I recommended you buy the shure 240's save yourself $50 and your ears for little difference in sound quality, and a more retro design.

Great balance (not too little or too much bass) and superb sound quality for the money; The build quality is quite sturdy; A nice clean retro design; A "plastic brushed finish" so no finger prints; ear cups and head band are made with nice pleather

The ear cups can get very uncomfortable with even mildly long amounts of time; (your ears will get soar, A excessively long curly wire comes in the box which gets heavy, and also gets tangled, two wires on the sides can easily get chewed or clipped

Shure is a firm known for professional-quality microphones and studio headsets, so we started out with high expectations of this entry. With an RRP a little above our £100 cut-off, the SRH440 phones are widely available at a price point closer to £80, so they sneak in under the wire.

Balanced output with strong bass; industrial good looks; suitable for studio work

Not very portable
