Reviews around phone (5.00 of 5)

  • those who are wondering, I'm powering these phones with an HRT
  • Great phones for laying tracks without audio bleed into the mic
  • Among three competitors tested, however, these phones were the least comfortable to wear
  • When I took them out of the box over a year ago I was immediately impressed by how solid the phones felt.
  • These phones are comfortable for the most part, they don't squeeze your head too much, but that also requires you to wear them directly over your head

Reviews around set (5.00 of 5)

  • Summary:I don't think you will find a better set of headphones within $120 of this price.
  • If you are in the market for a great set of headphones for under $200, the Shure SRH440 should be on you short list.
  • I was looking for a good set of headphones to wear 8+ hours a day while working
  • If you're looking for a good set of monitoring headphones on a budget, look no further
  • and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nice sounding set of headphones.

Reviews around shure (4.61 of 5)

  • I applaud Shure for the excellent job they've done, I don't think anything of this quality was ever available in this price range
  • Sorry Shure, these are some sexy headphones, but I can't recommend them.
  • I bought these for an everything, every day user after enjoying the Shure SE210 in ear monitors for two years
  • Typical outstanding Shure quality both in build and sound
  • As per the experience of many other reviewers, I found the ear cups and the headband to be quite uncomfortable (the headband began to pressure the top of my head almost immediately.)I have already replaced the ear cups with the Shure SRH840 models (available on Amazon for $14.49) and they do indeed provide a much more comfortable fit.

Reviews around thing (4.26 of 5)

  • The 440's sound great, which is the most important thing
  • I can see that over long periods, the headband may not be the most comfortable thing in the world compared to some of the others that I've tried.
  • if your unsure what to get, get these its a sure thing.
  • The best thing about this cord, how it locks into the headphone, also made it very hard to find a third-party, decent cord
  • It is for the most part comfortable, although it is NOT the most comfortable thing I have ever tried on

Reviews around balance (4.05 of 5)

  • The sound quality is excellent with a good balance of frequencies from low to high.
  • had I known the audio quality of these headphones is as good as
  • available)Mid/upper bass ruins the sound which has otherwise good midrange-treble balance
  • I could go for just a little more bass in my music, but overall the balance is very good

Reviews around pad (3.73 of 5)

  • KUDOS TO YOU, Shure!!!!Highly recommended, as long as you can get your hands on the better pads.
  • I'm not an expert, they are comfortable with the better pads from the
  • I tried them on with the stock pads before I swapped them and like people said, the pads were fairly stiff and shallow
  • I could see the top padding being inadequate for long-term wearing, though
  • The construction is sturdy also and the pads are comfortable.

Reviews around pair (3.54 of 5)

  • I have had two pair of these headphones, and although the sound is excellent, they break after a year of use
  • If your looking for nice pair of headphones that will last and deliver great sound, these are a nice choice at this price bracket
  • The Shure SRH440s are a great sounding sturdy pair of headphones.
  • If you are looking for a great pair of headphones, I would recommend these.
  • I do plan on purchasing a more expensive pair of Shure headphones in the future only if their sound will surpass the sound quality of the SRH440's with a highly noticeable difference in audio quality

Reviews around cord (3.39 of 5)

  • The TRS to mini stereo adapter is a nice touch and the detachable cord is very handy when packing the 'pnones away.
  • The detachable cord is a big win in my book, and has saved me from tangled nightmares and any fear of breaking the connector.
  • Within three months the cord was unbearably tangled and did not coil up properly
  • Cord is a bit long, and some what strange to manipulate in some environments
  • 6.5/10 (little big cords long and coiled (annoying) and heavy)

Reviews around cable (3.32 of 5)

  • As of this writing (Dec 2013) the cable still has no issues.
  • I also like the cable that unplugs since most problems with headphone are cable
  • Bought these headphones because of the detachable cable since that's where most of my headphones have broken in the past
  • Nice full size headphones but the cable was getting damaged and had that annoying volume control feature
  • Very Durable, Detachable cable (great for replacing if anything ever happens

Reviews around bass (2.83 of 5)

  • The clarity of highs is amazing, and the bass is perfect, not over bearing
  • Nice clean bass, perfect highs and an excellent balance of tonal ranges
  • In my personal opinion, too much bass can make even clear mids sound muddled
  • Great isolation, clear highs and mids, with tight non-exaggerated bass.
  • , I get very good bass from the techno, but the solos in the metal also sound really crisp

Reviews around bite (2.14 of 5)

  • I've had these for about two, maybe three years and the cushions are just now starting to crack a bit despite all my abuse
  • It's lacking a bit of bass, but it's actually not that bad, only if you're used to artificially boosted headphones will you be disappointed
  • If you are using them for more than a few hours in a row without any breaks you might want to consider something a little bit more comfortable.
  • I tried them with my glasses off for a little while, and they were much more comfortable, but still pushed on the top of my ears a bit
  • The sound is very much to my liking, a bit softer, not harsh

Reviews around ear (2.04 of 5)

  • Let me start by saying that I have very good ears and usually am able to hear all the nuances in music quality
  • The Ear cusions can hurt your left ear but the right one is decent
  • Good qualityBlack ear protective-coating flakes off rapidly
  • I have only one complaint, and that's that they start to hurt my head and ears after not too long
  • I also have pretty prominent(sticky-outy) ears that usually become discomforted quite soon after putting on headphones, but these are (now anyways) deep enough with thick enough inner padding that it's not much of a problem
