These new closed-back headphones from Shure are an updated version of their predecessors and offer boosted audio performance and a more modern design with better levels of comfort.
... [+]Whenever Shure announces a new product, it always pays to sit up and take a closer look. Today the iconic audio brand is launching two new models in the brand’s portfolio of SRH headphones. These new closed-back models feature significant design upgrades and what Shure calls: “nuanced improvements to the audio quality”.
Today’s headphone market is almost as much about fashion as sound so brands like Shure must keep their designs up to date and stylish. Shure claims that the second-generation of its award-winning SRH440A and SRH840A models provide superior audio, long-wearing comfort, plus the classic Shure durability so beloved by audio professionals.
According to Sean Sullivan, Global Product Manager, Listening Products, at Shure: “Today’s consumers are seeking high-quality audio without sacrificing style and comfort. 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 two new models have been optimized for critical listening and studio monitoring, featuring nuanced improvements that include lower harmonic distortion and more precise left and right driver matching. The SRH840A has a precisely tailored frequency response powered by 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers that can deliver rich bass, clear mid-range, as well as extended highs. A wide, padded headband and a collapsible design combine to create a more comfortable and clearer listening experience.
