Shure SRH1540 review

 

Best home over-ears £300+, Awards 2014. Another success story for Shure, the SHR1540s are 100 per cent worthy of their price – and your attention

Expansive, open, beautifully balanced, detailed, driven sound Cosy, roomy fit Light

Nothing

Basking in the same five-star success as their big-brothers (the SHR1840s, £600), the SHR1540s amount to another outstanding effort from Shure. Looking for a great sound that you can enjoy in pampering comfort all day long? Give these a go. You know...

Shure SRH1540

 

The Shure SRH1540 is among the more accurate headphone pairs we've tested, delivering deep lows and crisp highs clearly with very little boosting.

Excellent audio performance. Impressively lightweight despite large size. Exceptionally comfortable. Ships with two detachable cables, a replacement pair of earcups, and the sturdiest hard-shell headphone case we've ever seen.

No inline remote control or mic on either cable. Not for booming bass lovers.

If you're looking for a sound with more bass presence in this price range, the Blue Microphones Mo-Fi has plenty of bells and whistles, but also sounds quite good, while the Sennheiser HD6 Mix provides a wonderful balance of bass and treble. If you're...

Shure SRH1540 Premium Over-Ear Closed-Back Headphones Review

 

Shure's top of the line closed-back headphone, the SRH1540 Over-Ear, is as stunning to listen to as they are to look at.

Shure SRH1540 Headphone

 

Performance Build Quality Comfort Value

First impressions count for a lot. This is especially true for headphones, because, unlike other types of audio gear, you wear headphones. When you first try a pair on, do they feel good, or do they hurt? How do they feel in your hands? From the...

Outstanding Sound and Adaptability

 

I bought the Shure headphones ac couple of months ago. I needed to invest in quality top-end hi-fi cans to match the sound of the system B&W speakers I have - I wasn't disappointed! It takes sometime to run them in, but once they gradually open up you...

Clean styling and great sound

 

Had these earphones a couple of weeks now and loving them. Foam pads are still a little bit firm but I am hoping that they will soften in time. I have tried and listened to much costlier headphones but prefer these shure headphones. My only very minor...
