Shure - Over-the-Ear Headphones

I bought these headphones for my daughter last Christmas and she LOVES them! My son wanted them for Christmas this year so knowing these are good quality headphones, I bought another pair.

After trying $100 headphones (Koss, Sennheiser, Sony, Skullcandy, Bose) with much disatisfaction because all lack sound range and distorted badly when it came to bass low tones, I was giving the Shure headphones a final attempt to see if any over the ear headphones were even worth the $100 and under range, and to my surprise these headphones were really good. I got nice smooth bass tones at very high volumes and it only distorted when I blasted them to the max in which I would never listen too, so at the highest volume setting that i would ever use, these headphones were nice, crisp, and full. I like the look of the headphones, I also like the construction. They remind me of the Beats by Dre (but not the hefty price tag). Now the only drawbacks are the kinda thin wire which comes out of both speakers, the headphones don't fit totally flush with my head, I have to mess around with the cushion and tilt of the headphones and then it would fit snug. Don't waste your money on other headphones especially if your budget is under $100, go with these and you will be satisfied. I'm using these for recording vocals and mixing at my studio so the demand for accurate highs mids and lows is a must and these headphones passed all the tests. Shure did a great job at a great price.

I bought these headphones a couple months ago simply because I was attracted to its design. However, I did my research on these headphones ahead of time. These headphones are the kind that grow on you. At first, wearing these headphones were uncomfortable, but after a good three months of wearing it, they are fairly comfortable. Also, the audio draws similarities to its comfort. I like to produce and mix down music, and I felt that there wasn't enough bass, and that there was too much treble. Like skates, it takes time to get used to. I found that the audio got better after I got comfortable to its fit and sound. I've switched from having these headphones, as a backup, to a first choice. It gets used to, but in the long run, they're a really good pair of headphones.

I am relatively new to the more sound oriented headphones since I usually only use headphones for when I am training but as I make my virgin voyage I don't think I could have found a better pair for such a good price. I have been using these for about a month now and have found them to be tremendously comfortable leaving me able to wear them for hours on end, they produce a good sound quality and covers a good range of sounds, I heard that it has problems with bass but I have found no such problem. Also, if you are on a budget like me they are at a very reasonable price, I got them for about $50. The only problem, and it is really just more of a minor inconvenience, is that the cord is only 6ft. long. I like these headphones so much that I like to lay in bed and watch TV with them so today I plan on getting some extension cable for them so that will be possible. I am sure that some one who defines themselves as an "audiophile" would want a more advanced piece of equipment but as for the average joe you couldn't go wrong with this pair of Shure's.

I've only owned these headphones for about a day and I have to say that they are great. They are nice and clear with crisp sounds. They are great with highs and lows. I don't really like the bass on these headphones. Others may love the bass but i personally would like them to be more powerful for the bass. Other than the bass, these are great headphones. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking a for a great headset, without having to spend a great load of money on them.

I'm very happy with these for the price. I wanted a pair of Shure's over the ear headphones since I have a couple of their in ear headphones. The highs are a bit sharp and these don't rival my Bose on ear's but I did not expect them to. I did not go for the Shure high end over the ears because of the coiled cord but others might look to those for better performance.

I wanted and get more sound clarity and better tonal range from this headset than I'd had from the headphone owned prior to this one. I had done internet comparisons of headphone specification prior to purchasing this unit but it was in use I naturally couldn't have known it'd please me. Naturally if I'd spent $ 100 or more I'd have gotten even better sound quality but that's just it - for this headphone I only spent half of that! A specific feature I enjoy with this unit is the cord attaching it to your devices tops six feet in length so when seated should you move or turn a little itt doesn't pull right out of the PC or other deivice being utilized. That happened to me with a headphone set that I returned prior to making this purchase.

I felt these headphones are a good sounding product for the price. For the sub $100.00 market these are a "sound" investment. If these ever break I would consider buying the SRH440.
