Hi all,   I'm looking for the pair of headphones which has the best sound quality while also being comfortable with reasonable isolation. I plan on using my laptop alone to drive these without the use of an amp. I will use these to listen to music of which i listen to a range of  genres so...

I listen to rock and some dubstep, I also have an fiio e7. Thanks :D

Any opinions?

I recently bought a pair of SRH-940 and was impressed with their sound enough that when I was givent the opportunity to review the SRH-1840 I jumped at the chance, even though I was not in the position to buy the flagship Shure headphone. But the differences between the 940 and 1840 was enough I...

Hello head-fiers, I have recently found this website while looking into what headphones to buy and would like to start with stating how great this community input is, thus I am asking for your opinion and knowledge. I recently (within this year) purchased an AKG Q460 and have been brought into...

Other than the original cable are there any other cable options? Thanks

Hello all,  I just got some SRH940 from J&R downtown, I don't have an amp. I tried it with my pc with its internal brand X chipset, and a Cowon J3.  I feel as if I don't have a proper source to drive these. (The cowon does a better job at driving these)   Looking for another pair, as I...

Hi all!  I'm a long time lurker but decided to post today :)   I own a Shure SRH 940 that I absolutely love in terms of sound.  However, today, the plastic gave out and the headphones are cracked .  I'm looking into getting them repaired but I think I might want to purchase a different set...

Hi, I thought it might be useful to start a thread and reference source on what alternative ear pads one can use on headphones. Most will likely have an impact on the sound so do feel free to add your comments. I will start with those headphones I own and have changed the pads: 1. Sony...

I love my Shure's but as anyone else I'm always on the hunt for exploring something new in this headphone jungle. I love the SRH-940 sound signature, but I wish they were a little more airy and maybe a tiny bit bassier. I don't want the mids to change. I like that forward in your face vocals...

I plan on buying a pair of the Shure SRH 940 headphones. after tonnes of research, i still can't clarify 2 things. i listen to most of my music through an iPod Nano 5g and i want to know whether these Shure SRH 940s are loud enough through the iPod. also, would they abnormally drain the...

Hi!   I'm hanging around here for hours and hours but still need your advice for making my final decision in choosing a new pair of headphones.   Some background My Sennheiser IE8 is defect after nearly one year of using: from the beginning it appeared to me one side sounded slightly...

Hi All ! I need your advice guys. Im a beginner electro house  producer and Im looking for  a  good headphone  for all purpose /editing ,mixing,tracking/ I have Shure 840   I like It ,but I have  to buy a better one because It is very uncomfortable.   What I need is neutral and...

I am fed up with the Beats Studio. I was suckered into believing that they were marvellous can. Far from it. The bass overpowers everything else in these cans. I am now looking at Shure SRh-940. I wonder if they would do justice to the kinds of music i listen the most, which is hip-hop and...

As the title states what amp would you guys recommend connecting to the Music Streamer to get the best sound possible with the Shure SRH-940? Gear setup: - iMac - Audirvana Plus - HRT Music Streamer 2012 DAC - Amp? Musical taste: Soul/R&B, Jazz, Instrumental, Blues, sometimes Pop and Rock...

Hey guys. Second post from a longtime forum dweller :P. I bought my SRH940s about a year ago and I really liked them. I just really found the bass lacking. Also I got pretty turned off by their poor sound isolation. I'm looking for definitely closed back headphones that can handle huge hip-hop...

Hello dear community, I'd like to use my new Shure 940 with my Philips Dvd963SA CD Player. Because it doesn't have a headphone output I need something to interconnect. So far I thought about one of this amps: Fiio E9 Cmoy (wich opamp?) FiiO E11 my budget is max 120 USD but is it right that a...

Hello, This is my first post here so forgive me if I appear to be a noob. My music taste is primarily Electro, EDM, Chillout, House, Vocal trance and a bit Symphonic Metal and Classical music.(Some of my favorites are Infected Mushrooms, Moonbeam, Enigma, Emancipator, Eluveitie..) My first...

Hello there, i am quite new to head-fi tho i have browsed head-fi alot. anyway, i really want a quality headset, and the best headsets i have had have been gaming headset which i thought was some okay one's(razer lycosa had good sound i think), so my friend has a Shure headset and i also want...

So i've been looking into the shure srh940's and need help to know whether i am making a good choice. I'm going to be producing on the maschine and need to know a few things before i go ahead and buy.   -How power hungry are they (will a pa2v2 or Fiio 10 do the job) -How analytical are...

Hey guys, I sold my SRH-940s a while back as I felt that they lacked enough bass for my tastes, but other than that, they were a perfect headphone. Now I'm missing them.  Right now I have a pair of UE 6000s and I just returned my M-100s. I feel that neither have any of that sparkle that the...

I know that detail isn't the end-all for a headphone, but most likely because of that there seems to be a dearth of information on the comparative levels of detail between some of the nicer headphones. For an example, the HE-400 and HE-500 have both been praised for detail in a mid-fi headphone...

  Really I do like these headphones, but the material is really bad! If there were stress point I have little to complain but most of these cracks are not even on any stress point. It seems like the material itself either dry up and cracks or it is so bad that it crack when age. Look at them...

Firstly, I am fully aware headphones do not compete with dedicated studio monitors. I do own a set of monitors and I'm happy with them. However due to its convenience I find myself producing with headphones on my laptop a lot, (sennheiser hd25-2s) My observations is that the hd25s are too bass...

As the title says, I have no idea what headphones to get.. I am a fan of T.Swift.. Thanks! :) Amp: I don't have one yet.. Might be getting cricri or D2+ boa
