Shure Srh440 Closed Back Studio Headphones

I connect the SMH-1000 Closed-Back Professional Monitor Headphones to my Sony NEX-FS100UK hi-def professional camcorder.

Great headphones. I own several Shure headphones, both for travel and for studio use. The SE215 do not disappoint, great for travel.

I use the headphones primarily for tracking in my recording studio. Because the cover the ear and have a closed back, they block out the music in the room, and allow the player to hear the headphone mix clearly. They do not distort and have a fairly even frequency response. The only downside is the cost, usually $ a pair, B&H did $ with free shipping, so I bought 3 pair.

This extension cord gives me the range to us my new Rode NTH-100 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones from my sofa to the AVR to watch TV. Great quality.

A great go-to for headphones in the field or studio.

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

i have 2 of those on the Shure dual mount so worth it the sound like in recording studio

I've been living in closed-back world for a few years thanks to office life. As my job transferred to remote and I had my wife sitting next to me, being able to hear her and things around the house became more important. I snagged these after a good amount of research around decent-to-good open-back gaming headphones (without being Gamer headphones). These are incredibly comfortable and sound great (running through a Schiit Fulla) with a great punch and nothing sounding too muddled. Definitely one of my more rapid favorites in my headphone lineup.

These headphones showed me there is indeed, a difference between closed back headphones and open back headphones. These , I think, are listed as semi-open back. I really like the sound. Arrived quickly and was well packaged.

For the money, these little wonders are as good as it gets. Clean mids and highs, great soundstage, and visceral bass Pros: -Sound incredible for the money; can compete with many much higher-priced phones, especially of the boutique variety (Bose, Skullcandy, etc) -Comfortable for long stretches -Don't require a dedicated amplifier (but can still benefit from one) -Simple, functional, and durable design Cons: -Pleather earcups get quite hot; not unique to these but rather a characteristic of all closed and semi-closed headphones with pleather cups Other thoughts: -Quite large. These compete with the Everglide S500's for being the biggest cans I own -These aren't true closed phones. As such, they do not provide the isolation you may expect Final thought: -If you only have $40 to spend on full-size headphones, there is simply no point in looking any further. They aren't just great for the money. They are just plain great!
