Professional-grade Studio Sessions with Shure!

The SRH840A Professional Monitoring Headphones from Shure are guaranteed to turbocharge your studio sessions. Studio pros here at Sweetwater are huge fans of that famous Shure sound design, boasting premium drivers that make a world of difference in terms of playback quality. What you’ll notice is richer bass, more midrange clarity, and a soaring treble presence like no other for the price! On top of their superior sound quality, these headphones look incredible thanks to an updated, more sleek design with gold accenting. The headband provides premium padding for a noticeably more comfortable user experience, making those long mixing sessions much more bearable. Their closed-back design drastically reduced background noise, keeping your monitoring experience more focused on the music at hand, and less on surrounding distractions. When you need to take them on the go, the SRH840A headphones collapse easily, allowing for maximum portability and space-efficient storage whenever you travel. The included 1/8-inch cable also comes with a gold-plated 1/4-inch adapter, so you’ll be able to plug into interfaces and other sound modules with ease.

Best Bang for Buck

For those getting your feet wet in recording and mixing;these headphones are a great introduction to what I refer to as "POR" (Point-of-Recording) sound quality (i.e., true sound).

Whereas many use the word "flat" to describe the sought after sound in quality headphones, I rather use the word "balanced" - which denotes "equal opportunity" to every instrument and the distinct nuances therein - to certainly include the most fascinating instrument--the human voice.

These headphones are a pro-grade yet amateur-friendy (on the pocket book) piece of gear, which, in my opinion, are difficult to outgrow.

The sound quality is excellent, and is on-par with other headphones which cost twice as much, if not more.

Thanks to Sweetwater rep Lucas Norton for a great call on these headphones.
