I use the Geekria PJZ-0007-02. It works well for me.

Thx for sharing ! Seems interisting

Well anyone try to remove the thin actual headband and totaly replace it ?

I've thought about it. Looks like a Beyer headband could be a straight swap, but so far haven't been able to find anywhere selling the headband parts independent of the headphones ¬_¬

Ok thank you
 
About modification : anyone tried the zmf ori pads ?

 

[Quadfather]

Yes, I do. I find these to be deeper then most other closed backs I've heard, including SRH940, M500, DT1350, SRH840, and K550.
These shures do like a good source and amp. AK100 is awesome, but a good amp really makes these shine as well. What set up did you use? Using 24/96 flac with AK100, I get a very good sense of space and depth.

The Shure SRH1540s with Moon Audio Silver Dragon cables, and a Questyle QP1R is damn near an out-of-body experience!

I need closed headphones for classic music, vocal and 50-60x jazz.
Are 1540 good for these kind of music?

Hello

I dont think : bump in bass, High-mids at the hospital. You need a more neutral headphone

Does anybody use Shure 1540 with Chord Mojo DAC/Amp?
I had Beyerdynamic 990 Pro. How do Shure 1540 sound compared to 990?

This is my combo, Shure 1540 with Chord Mojo, and it's a great combinaison with superb synergy to my ears !

Alex : DT990 and shure are different. Shure has a bump in the bass. Shure has less high. Also more détails, more precision. I move with pleasure from a DT990 to a shure (well some brain burn in needed because of the sound signature).

By the the shure is not really hard to pair with something. Pretty easy to drive.

Thank you all for reply!

Just received a set of SRH1840 pads and replacement Beyer headband. The headband didn't fit, so if you're thinking of giving it a go, I've saved you the trial & error! The 1840 pads on the other-hand are a really quite interesting on the 1540. Bass definitely reduces in presence and isolation takes a hit, but mids come forward and things generally sound more open and expansive. Worth the €18.
