The SRH940 Professional Reference Headphones from Shure provide accurate audio, ideal for recording and mixing applications. The headphones use 40mm neodymium drivers to deliver an accurate frequency response with deep bass, smooth high end, and excellent transient response with minimal distortion.

The headphones have a lightweight and ergonomic design with replaceable around-ear velour cushions and an adjustable, padded headband for long lasting comfort. The closed-back earcup design and thick cushions also help to block out unwanted ambient noise.

A set of 2 detachable, single-sided OFC cables are included; one straight and one coiled for flexible wearing options and easy replacement. The cables provide excellent signal clarity and have secure bayonet clips to securely lock into the earcup. Each cable has a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug, and a threaded 1/4" adapter is included for additional compatibility. The headphones feature a collapsible design with swivel earcups for convenient storage in the included hard travel case.

    Comments about Shure SRH940 Professional Reference Headphones:

    I compared the srh840 and srh940 side by side. They both very light but the 940 is more comfortable thanks to being slightly bigger (so it doesn't touch my ears while the 840 does) and the material used in the hearpads feels a lot better to me. Build quality wise they seem to be even with again the 940 taking the lead since it doesn't have the driver cable exposed like the 840. On the sound the 940 definitively is brighter and more detailed on the mid to high frequencies but still very good on the low end. The 840 sounded as good as the 940 on the low end but not as detailed on the highs. Both have excellent sound and are very detailed in general so if you source is poor, you'll figure out pretty soon. At the end I chose the 940 because I preferred the highs and the added comfort. They both are excellent and I recommend listening to both.
