Hey guys   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SRH440s and I was looking into getting an amp too. I would love a better bass response and just a general audio improvement if I can get it. I was looking into the HiFiMan EF2 and id love your opinions on this setup. I am only a student so...

Hello again guys, I'm looking to get a pair of nice headphones after getting used to my monster jamz. I have $100 to spend. Can you tell me your favorites (and why)? My favorite music to listen to is drum and bass and dubstep (The Prodigy, Pendulum, Nero, Doctor P, Rusko). I was really...

After about a year of listening to the xb500, I've decided its finally time to upgrade my headwear :P I'm honestly not sure where to look anymore, I was absolutely sure about the ATH-M50's but now I'm not sure. Theres such a huge market of headphones that I'm not sure where too look anymore! All...

Hello ladies and gents i was just wondering which of the two is better in terms of noise isolation, portability and well sound quality... im not a bass head but because i'd like to use em on the move, i'd like sth with a little more bass in em... not like tablespoon of salt but like a gentle...

Hi, I am looking for a pair of circumaural closed cans for Rock.. yoo hoo "Rock". I am willing to spend 80% of my wage which equal to about 150$. Apparently I have own a pair of Shure SRH440 and now I am looking for an upgrade. Also could anyone tell me a little more about the Mids? Is...

Hello, I just ordered an HD558 as an upgrade to my trustworthy Shure SRH440!  The Shures have served me well especially with the 840 pads which massively increased comfort and added a noticeable amount of bass and put the sometimes edgy highs in check.  Just wondering if this was worth the...

The shures are great, but too big to be portable, the Denons are also great but after long use, hurt my ears. So sell these two and buy a pair of descent portable phones with the sound quality of the Shures, but smaller. £100 ish

hey guys, im pretty much set on buying a pair of Shure SRH440's at christmas, but if you can persuade me not to, or to buy a different pair of headphones, im all ears. My budget is 70 UK pounds. Circumaural preferably closed back not too heavy/bulky (as i use them on a bus) balanced/neutral...

I'm pretty set on buying the Shure srh440 headphones and my question is would any of you recommend buying a soundcard or amp and if you would what kind of soundcard/amp and where I can find it.   I am on a budget and would be using this set up on my apple laptop.   I was considering the...

Hi, I need advice. I can't still decide. I want a very good noise isolation. I fear that SRH440 are not so comfortable. Can it stands for 2-3 hours daily? I like both.  

Hi I'm looking for a good pair of iem or full size headphone$100 or less.   Im lookin for accurate sound and detail. A good soundstage would be awesome. The shure srh440 full size and the etymotic hf5 iems seem awesome. Which one would be better in overall sound (noise isolation isn't much...

Shure SRH440 vs Sennheiser HD 449   which one is the best? (i listen rap in flac format... i care about confort, built and sound quality)   thanks

I recently got some sennheisser hd220s and I really enjoyed them except they were incredibly uncomfortable to wear for more than 5 minutes.  They were too tight and I would constantly try to adjust them but it never improved.  So, I've been reading all over the internet to decide what to get for...

On a purely sound quality-based scale, which one is better, the SRH440 or CAL!? This is discarding factors such as isolation, comfort, etc., and assuming optimal source, DAC and amp conditions.

Hello to all i am new user. :) I need headphones for Music (Flac and Ape)  i want to buy Asus Xonar Essence STX I do not know how to take the headphones? Shure SRH840 or Shure SRH440?? worth paying more fo rShure SRH840? thanks.

Hey guys, I'm totally new to headphones, but my friends are avid Head fi'ers, however, they haven't heard the Shure SRH 440's and from the stuff I've read, they really don't say much about how it sounds, such as, the Highs, the mids, the lows, the sound stage, and how detailed they are, and I am...

So I currently use a pair of Koss Portapros, but I'm looking for an upgrade for about $100 USD. After a bit of browsing, I've been able to narrow my search to these three: KRK KNS 6400 Shure SRH440 and Denon HP700 I listen to practically every genre of music and also game...

Currently I'm torn between the two.  I've heard good things about both but not sure which one to get.  I'll keep this short and list off my requirements for my headphone.    () Must perform well unamped.  My main source will be a Ipod Nano 4g () Must have good sound isolation.  I will be...

So I've recently decided that instead of the SUperlux 668B, I might consider going with one of these two full size phones.    Which of them would you recommend me?  I've searched, but people have conflicting opinions on these two.   I'll be listening to 320 kbp mp3s and FLAC's on my iPod...

Hello to all of you good people!   I'm learning this days to produce electronic music. in my search for headphones that will sound good in electronic sounds and also in acoustic sounds, I narrowed the options to this two.   Shure SRH440...

Alright, so I'm new to head-fi, and this is my first thread. I guess I'll just get to the point.   I recently bought a pair of Shure SRH440's as a replacement to my Bose mobile OE headphones, which I've had for three years. They recently shorted out on me, so I got the 440's after a lot of...

Hello,   Does anyone know of replacement upgrade cables for the Shure SRH440 & SRH940?   Thanks!   CB

I have extensively researched studio headphones at this range and i am basically deciding between these two. they will be for home studio use - a mix of live instruments and midi work. i am aware of the frequency difference between the two at the low end, which seems to crop up in most debates...

Hey all,     I was getting tired of using the stock coiled cable that I find to be a bit too heavy when using it for portable use. Yes, the 440 with the 840 pads are my only pair of cans so far, for all uses. At home I use them with my Musical Fidelity X-Can v2. Is there an alternative...

EDIT: I bought the SRH440. Thank you all for the help.   Hello guys,   First of all I have to say that I've been getting soaked in knowledge from you all the past days and I love this place :)   My name's Ivan, I'm Spanish but I'm living in Poland, and I could use some advise in my...
