Midrange Stereo Gaming Headphones

I use high end headphones for detail midrange editing work and these to get the best preview of how ordinary people with ordinary headphones and speakers will hear the sounds. This is the headset I use the most for everything else and if I accidentally break or lose these they are inexpensive enough to replace with another SR850B. I haven’t heard a better set for the price.

These headphones sound good. If you are not into bass heavy headphones and would like clarity of the midrange, with punchy bass then these are for you. Although designed for studio, these deliver in most audio applications.

These headphones provide much more accurate sound than many other headphones, -some costing much more. No lower midrange dip and exaggerated highs like the Sony 7506s. No exaggerated bass like all those overpriced DJ headphones out there (you know which ones I mean). Solid, but realistic sounding bass. Good response through the midrange. Smooth, extended top end. If it's in the recording, you'll hear it. If it's not, you won't. The interchangeable cords are a nice touch and very convenient.

I am really enjoying these headphones. They are very comfortable! The sound is a little on the warmer side of neutral, with strong but not overpowering bass. Treble is very good and never harsh. As some professional reviewers have noted, the midrange is slightly recessed, most noticeable on vocals. Overall, they have a pleasing, fun sound with plenty of detail, that works for many genres. I compared them primarily to a pair of Oppo PM-3. The PM-3 were much more portable, but much less comfortable with smaller, shallower earcups. The PM-3 had a prominent midrange making them better for vocal material, but for everything else I preferred the Shure SRH1540. I kept the Shure phones and returned the PM-3, as only one pair was in my budget. Some might feel the Shure are overpriced, but with an extra cable and set of earpads, which would cost nearly $100, the price is comparable to the competition.

My son loves these headphones for his gaming and music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for multiplayer gaming on my console and they work great. The stereo is quick to respond to any noise and thanks to the headphones, I'm able to tell which direction it came from much more clearly than just using my TV's speakers. The mic is also very easy to use and switch to mute when you don't need it.

I'm using the Shure SCM262 as a mixer for my home Stereo / PC / Gaming setup. It's solid, well-made, and does exactly what it says. Highly recommended.
