Overview

The Shure SRH840A headphones are professional studio reference headphones designed for audio engineers and musicians, offering a blend of high-quality audio performance, comfort, and durability. Building on Shure's extensive experience in pro audio, these headphones are engineered to provide a superior listening experience for critical listening and studio recording environments.

At the core of the SRH840A's design is its ability to deliver reference-quality frequency response, ensuring accurate and detailed sound reproduction. This is achieved through the use of 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers, which are specifically optimized for the demands of studio work. The closed-back, circumaural design of the headphones plays a crucial role in their performance, providing superior isolation from external noise. This feature is particularly beneficial in noisy environments, allowing users to focus on their audio without distractions. The circumaural design also contributes to comfort by fully enclosing the ears, reducing pressure points during extended listening sessions.

Comfort is a key aspect of the SRH840A's design, recognizing that professionals often wear headphones for long periods. The adjustable, collapsible headband is designed to provide a comfortable fit for a wide range of head sizes, ensuring that users can find their ideal setting. The ear cushions are also designed for comfort and are replaceable, which not only enhances the user experience but also extends the product's lifetime. The inclusion of replacement earcup pads in the package underscores Shure's commitment to long-term usability and value.

Portability and convenience are also significant features of the SRH840A. The collapsible headband allows the headphones to be folded into a more compact form, making them easier to transport and store. To further protect the headphones when not in use or during travel, a carrying bag is included. This bag helps safeguard the headphones from potential damage, ensuring their longevity and performance.

The SRH840A headphones feature a detachable cable, which offers several practical benefits. The 3-meter (10 ft.) straight cable is made from non-PVC, Oxygen-free copper (OFC), designed to provide plenty of length for studio use while minimizing signal degradation. The detachable nature of the cable makes it easy to store and replace if it becomes damaged, further contributing to the product's durability and user-friendliness. The cable connects to the headphones with a bayonet-style lock, ensuring a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnections during use. This locking mechanism is a thoughtful detail that enhances reliability in a professional setting. The cable terminates in a gold-plated 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo mini jack plug, and a 6.35 mm (1/4") threaded adapter is included, making the headphones compatible with a wide range of audio equipment, from portable devices to professional studio consoles.

Maintenance of the SRH840A headphones is straightforward, focusing on simple cleaning to preserve their condition. To clean the headphones, users are advised to use a soft, damp cloth. It is important to avoid cleansers that contain solvents, as these can potentially damage the materials. Additionally, users should ensure that liquid and foreign objects are kept out of the driver openings to prevent internal damage and maintain optimal sound quality. The replaceable ear cushions also simplify maintenance, allowing users to easily refresh the comfort and hygiene of their headphones over time.

The design of the SRH840A emphasizes not only performance but also longevity and user convenience, making them a reliable tool for professionals in the audio industry. From their robust construction to their user-replaceable components and thoughtful portability features, these headphones are built to withstand the rigors of daily studio use while consistently delivering high-fidelity audio.
