Shure SRH1540 Overview

The Shure SRH1540 are closed-back, over-ear premium studio headphones offering high-class sound and comfort for professional audio engineers, studio musicians, and audiophiles. From the Alcantara and slow-recovery foam earpads to the aluminum and carbon fiber construction, the SRH1540 are built to deliver a top-shelf wearing experience.

Large 40mm drivers produce a wide image and a broad frequency response of 5 Hz to 25 kHz for warm bass and clear treble. The closed-back, circumaural design helps reduce ambient noise and the thick replaceable Alcantara earpads yield long-lasting comfort and optimal noise isolation. The dual-frame headband is adjustable and generously cushioned to ensure a pleasing fit on a range of head sizes.

Thanks to the MMCX earpiece connectors and detachable cable system, the SRH1540 can accommodate the two supplied Kevlar-reinforced OFC cables or other MMCX cables (available separately). The gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug and 1/4" adapter enable compatibility with MP3 players and mobile devices as well as audio interfaces and high-end headphone amps.

Please note, this pair of Shure SRH1540 headphones are presented here in their old packaging. That is the only difference between this item and the other pair of Shure SRH1540 headphones offered on this site.
