I really like these. Have been using them for 4 years and have always worked well. However, there is one huge design flaw. The joints connecting the cans to the headband are made of weak plastic. You need to be careful with these.

*As mentioned in many external reviews, they will not satisfy bass-heads!* Apart from that, these headphones deliver a very nice and balanced frequency range and as also mentioned in many other reviews, are excellent at retrieving detail in music, th..

I paid $200. I have owned a few headphones in my life, including top of the line Sennheisers, which I paid ~$500 for (2005). I love headphones. For $200 I consider these value priced. When compared to the market as a whole, its just not a lot of money, especially when you are aiming for the best.

SHURE SRH840 PROFESSIONAL MONITORING HEADPHONES &nbs

These headphones are an excellent value for the money

For years I used another common brand headphone for musician monitors which were ok but the Shure 840 is a huge step up. Less distortion with better frequency response. Should have switched to these years ago!

I just bought the Shure SRH 840 headphones yesterday and all i have to say is wow, compared to all of the other headphones i have used in my life, these are absolutely jaw droppingly amazing in my eyes. sure, they may not be audiophile quality, but i absolutely love them.

I've been waiting for a while to get new headphones after I lost my Shure SE530PTHs earphones and I finally decided to jump in when I saw Shure was coming out with some new cans. They don't sound quite as good as the 530s did, but these are high quality headphones that would be hard to beat.

Before buying these Shure's, I looked into many different headphones such as Grado Sr60's, Sony MDR-7506/7509's and countless others. From my research, I found that the Shure's had a relatively flat frequency response, good full spectrum sound reproduction and were comfortable.
