Overall, a great pair of headphones for a great price, but make sure you know what you're planning to use them for most of the time, because if it's on the go, I'd steer clear.

This is the second pair of these headphones I have owned and both have broken at the earphone headband hinge

It is nice that they include an extra pair of muffs if they ever break (which they don't look like they will any time soon

I listen to a lot of EDM, and was looking for a better pair of headphones.

They are really a nice pair of headphones, especially for < $200

Cause this time i am very very very Mad…second fucken pair to break after 3 weeks.

The right speaker just broke right off, as if they were some cheap $10 pair of Wal-Mart specials.

At $20 bucks a pop for a crappily-made cable, I would've been better off investing in a better pair of headphones.

great pair of headphones

Best pair of headphones i've owned so far

I owned a pair of srh840s and loved them

I'm not an audiophile, but wanted a really good pair of headphones that I can take on flights and listen to music on various smartphones and iPads, etc

Most of my other headphones eventually broke after a few months which is why I decided to invest in a more expensive pair

Ummm...these are EASILY the best pair of headphones that I've ever owned

I would recommend these for anyone who is looking for a good pair of monitoring headphones, as these sound fantastic

so I thought I found the perfect pair

They were accidentally broken when my wife ripped them off my head, so I found myself searching for another good pair, but I found these instead

I got these because i needed accurate monitoring for electronic music production and was not currently able to afford a pair of good studio monitors and i must say this is the closest i have gotten to that sort of audio response

If they were to break tomorrow, I would have no problem buying another pair

This is a well-balanced pairs that is capable of handling most genres

My favorite pair of headphones to date.

Solid build though not as solid-feeling as my previous pair of KRK KNS-8400s

I hope this helps someone looking at the Shure 840, a great pair of cans.

This is the second time the hinge has broken, I will not buy another pair and I recommend that others avoid the SRH840 headphones for this design flaw
