Shure Improves SRH840A and SRH440A Headphones

Many of today’s content creators, professional musicians, and recording artists will underscore the importance of using gear that looks as good as it sounds. With this in mind, Shure has unveiled new enhancements and improvements to its portfolio of SRH Headphones. Featuring significant product design upgrades and nuanced improvements to sound quality, the second-generation SRH440A and SRH840A Headphones provide improved audio reproduction, long-wearing comfort, and durability.
 
The next evolution of the SRH Headphones build on the same foundation that established Shure signature headphones: sound quality for creators and recording professionals and a modern design. “Today’s consumers are seeking high-quality audio without sacrificing style and comfort,” says Sean Sullivan, Global Product Manager, Listening Products, at Shure. “This upgrade delivers just that — a low-profile design that looks great on camera and improved acoustics to ensure clean, and consistent audio reproduction. Recording professionals and content creators will benefit from professional headphones that include Shure’s iconic sound signature and a fresh, modern design.”
The new models incorporate a series of design upgrades. Both headphones are optimized for critical listening and studio monitoring, featuring nuanced improvements including lower harmonic distortion and more precise left-right driver matching. The SRH840A model offers a precisely tailored frequency response powered by 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers, while the wide, padded headband and collapsible design combine to create a comfortable listening experience. 
 
The SRH440A delivers detailed frequency response with accurate audio designed for podcasting, home recording, and critical editing and mixing. The consistent and uncolored sound response provides an appropriate representation of the sound, making it an ideal fit for talent in a recording session.

Both the SRH440A and SRH840A incorporate the same ultra-comfortable lightweight headband and are closed-back, circumaural designs that rest comfortably over the ears and reduce background noise. The new industrial design with matte finish looks great on camera and withstands the rigors of constant use. And a straight cable is now standard for both models to offer more mobility in creative spaces.

Both headphones are now available and retails for $99 USD (SRH440A) and $149 USD (SRH840A), both including a detachable, straight 9-foot locking bayonet cable; and a threaded gold stereo 1/8” to 1/4” adapter.
