    Back after 7 years - any good Shure 1540 replacements?

    Was just about to order new ear pads again for the good old SRH-1540s when I noticed "You last purchased this item on April 5, 2014." - feels like it was just last year. Huh. I obviously love these things but they're not in the best shape anymore, so I was doing some trawling around trying to...

    Back Again - (Re)Intro + SRH-1540 Upgrade

    Evening again, everyone! Been a while since I've floated around here. Good to be back. :beerchug: Just graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering and am heading cross country to start at a defense contractor, and I thought it's about time to pick myself up something nice as a bit of a...

    CM6631A / USB Interface?

    Evening, gentlemen!   I'm a computer engineering student here at the university, and have recently set out on the mission of making myself a desktop DAC/Amp combo just for the heck of it.  I could list off the design if anyone's interested, but I'll keep it out of this post so things stay...

    SRH-940 Driver Transplant Time

    Hey guys!   Well, the day is finally about to come when the headband on my poor old 940s finally fails entirely - a few hairline cracks around the swivels are really starting to open up and things aren't looking good.  Since I have my new Noble N5W's, though, I figure why not see if I can't...

    Still Upgrade Time for the 940s, $1000 Budget

    You people can't get rid of me around this section, can you?    Well, I'm back again, still looking to upgrade the same pair of SRH-940s that I was looking to replace several months ago.  Well, I've picked up some steam and my budget just doubled from $500 to $1000, so NOW it's time to get...

    Back Again: SRH 940 Replacement Time

    I'm not sure I've ever seen one person carry on so many different threads as I have with discussions on what to do next about my aging SRH-940s.  I'll try to break this one up and make it a bit easier to read this time.   What I have / What I've Done:   Since you guys get ten thousand new...

    Next $500 Investment: SRH-1540, or Amp/DAC Setup?

    Well, here I am again.  Right now, I'm listening to my beloved SRH-940s, which are unfortunately starting to physically wear out.  Shure just didn't build these things to last.   Right now I have $350 saved up, and will be dumping another $150 into that once I get some junk sold off.  I've got...

    SRH-1540 vs 940?

    Howdy!   Got this year's tax return check back, and as a college student with nothing to do, what better use than a new pair of headphones?   Right now, I have a pair of Shure 940s - they're great, if not a little too thin and treble-positive.  Before them I had a pair of M50s, which were...

    SRH-940 Replacement Time

    Howdy!   Well, around the middle of last year, I bought myself a pair of SRH-940s; they replaced a set of ATH-M50s that I loved literally to death... the things were just starting to fall apart from how much I used them.  I absolutely love the 940s, a lot more so than my old M50s... I do miss...

    SRH940 - Need a better source. What to do?

    Hello again!   I've got an interesting choice to make.    I recently upgraded from a pair of ATH-M50's to a pair of Shure SRH-940's, and it was probably one of the biggest improvements I've ever heard.  I disagree with a lot of what I'm hearing about their bass being too thin; now, I go...

    ATH-M50 Upgrade Time

    Hello again!   It's time again for a headphone upgrade; I've had my good old Audio Technica M50s for a few years now, and all of the pleather is starting to wear off of them... I could always spend $20 on a replacement set of pads, but where's the fun in that when you could get a whole new...
