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.

Playback was suitably impressed when we reviewed Shure's SRH840 headphones last year. The 840s set a benchmark for under $250 headphone performance, though of course Grado ‘phones, for very different sonic reasons, also hold a warm spot in our value-oriented hearts.

These headphones are decent. Nothing great. Widely available and retails for around $100 I liked them from a sound standpoint, however from a portability/durability standpoint, I couldn't justify keeping them. I generally listen to most of my music either on the commute to work or in the office.

Heres my review of the Shure SRH440 that i recently bought, i know they are fairly old, but i felt like i should review them.
