Shure SRH940, a subjective opinion-based analysis subject to scrutiny (Review) - Page 4

Good review.... Persoanlly I found the Shure 840's to be very detailed but overall I just didn't enjoy listening to them very much.... I think they are good for what they are made for, pro monitors.... I swapped them for these denon d2000 and although they are not as accurate or detailed I enjoy them more... I agree that the shures are outstanding for accoustic music and things like that though.

I'd really like to do a side by side comparison of the K701, SRH940 and the HD598. I don't currently have the HD598, as I have the HD580.

 

Anyone willing to let me burrow their HD598 for a week or so? I'll pay shipping both ways with insurance of course.

 

Very best,

Wow wanted to know these results so much!! Most of it is the one im aiming now.... Mind if you add some beyers in the comparison too? 

very long and detailed as your 940, review.

thanks for sharing...however,

id like to ask sir, if you find your can fun and engaging or flat and boring.

thanks for the inputs.

so this isnt an all round performer.

it is best in a certain genre or certain types of music.

Can anyone compare/contrast the 940s to Denon D2000? I expect they are almost opposite but just curious.

I'm also interested in a mid-high detail showdown between the 940s and Audio-Technica A900X.

The treble is better on the SRH940 and mids, but it's quite similar in sound stage, and overall sounds quite similar other than the bass department. Treble is a little harsher to me on the D2000, and mids are less forward, compared to SRH940. But again, if you really listen, they're just not that different. Though I'm sure that can/will be argued.

 

My understanding from a friend with the A900X is that the A900X is basically hands down better than the SRH940 in every way. I'm gonna get one soon to find out.

 

Very best,

 

I just tend to hear alot that the D2000 makes most music sound good but may not be that accurate or hyper detailed (compared to something like the Shure). But then the D2000 is often modded so I expect a fair amount of variance. I almost always hear how great the bass is but many people seem to think the mids are a bit recessed and the treble rough, so that's why I was curious. I am very curious about the A900X, not many reviews yet. All I recall is that it is supposedly amazingly detailed in the upper range but still have a fun amount of bass.

Thanks for the review.

Any thoughts of comparison between the 940 and HE 500?

Same here I am curious also between the 940 and the HE-500

 Just like to share with 940 owners that I finished my first Objective 2 amplifier today (O2) and I was trying it with some of my headphones and it worked out good for all of them but let me tell you as soon as I put the SRH-940 on my head (it's been over an hour already) I really like the sound of this combo. One thing for sure is that the bass get a good bost and it's got a good punch. Listening to Porcupine Tree and it just sound amazin IMHO. Cheer
