Shure Professional Premium Closed-Back Headphones, Clear, Extended Highs and Warm, Accurate Bass, Aluminum Alloy and Carbon Fiber Construction, Alcantara Ear Pads, Detachable Cable, Black/Silver

Very good pair of headphones in this price point. Probably the best closed back at this price in relation to the competition.Build:These things are built like an absolute tank the aluminium and carbon fibre looks very striking and is very durable. I've been treating them roughly for months and they've held up exceptionally well. They should last for years to come. Shure have not skipped a beat on the build quality here.Comfort:The comfort is very good, although this will vary based on your anatomy. I found them very comfortable but others who have tried it on said the clamping force is a bit much. The alcantara pads are best in class for comfort, and they even threw in a spare which is a very nice touch at this price. My ears do get a bit hot and sweaty after several hours of use although this expected as is a product of the closed back design.Accessories:The contents come inside a hard shell carrying case which is very nice and has compartments for this pair earpads and pouches for the cables. It is very sturdy although definitely far too large to be carrying in a bag it's not really a carry case as much as transport caseIn addition to the spare pads, aspare cable is included. The extra cable is also much appreciated as one of them started cutting out after a couple months. The cables themselves are long and thick, it would have been nice if the spare was a 1.2m cord. Nevertheless the accessories and spares are very much appreciated and often not seen from audio products.Usability: Contrary to what many say you can intact wear these outside. They are big but very light for the size, comfortable and in my option stylish. I wore them to my commute on the way to work everyday. They are strong enough to withstand regular punishment during travel.These headphones isolated very well and do a great job on blocking out outside noise this is great for busy environments or doing commutes where you want to achieve maximum possible detail retrieval and resolution. They do however a leak quite a lot so this is something that you should consider. At its worst the leaking is similar to a semi open back or open back headphone.Now for the important part:SOUND:These headphones do very well on technicalities. The soundstage is exceptional for a closed back. The detail, seperation and imaging are very impressive.The sound signature of thesr is definitely not neutral the bass is definitely elevated considerably as you can see from the Frequency response graph available online. Now if you are a bey said you're going to love these as they sound great with EDM pop rap or othrr bass heavy music. However I often found that the base is overpowering and detract from the other frequencies and often bleeds into the mid-range overall I do think that the base is too high and I've had to EQ it down to a more sensible level.The mid-range is also very good although a bit racist vocals did sound distance a lot of the time although overall the mid-range is fluent and articulate and very pleasing to listen to. I do wish however that they were slightly more forward.The treble is very good and very detailed without becoming too bright. It adds a very good sparkle without drawing the spotlight away from the other frequencies. Initially I had thought that the treble was a bit bright, however when I changed to a warmer DAC it turned out that the dac was the issue.I think the genres which these headphone most excel at is EDM pop hip-hop and other bass heavy genres as well as classical and instrumental music.Another thing to note is that these headphones as noted in other reviews do distort at higher volumes changing the sound significantly. This however is not a problem if you are listening at safe normal volumes. If they do distort then you are listening to them too loud and should turn it down to protect your hearing. Although initially this was a con I now perceive it as a useful warning for me not to exceed the safe volume and cause permanent damage to my hearing.These headphones also scale really well although they sounds good from any device and are sensitive enough to be played and reach a high volume from a phone and a computer they improve drastically when paired with a quality source. The sound felt vastly improved when moving from a dragonfly red to a chord mojo DAC and scales further still from a chord Hugo. There's also drastically changed the sound characteristics. Initially I was not too impressed with the sound signature however after trying this with the chord mojo I discovered that in indeed it was the synergy between these headphones and the Dragonfly red that didn't agree with me. When paired with the mojo they sounded like completely different set of headphones. I can recommend the Mojo to have great synergy with this headphone.All in all I would definitely recommend these headphones. The build quality and materials are great, the comfort and isolation is very good, and the sound quality is very good for this price.Included:-Shure SRH-1540 headphones-2x headphone cables (oxygen free copper, mmcx connector with 3.5mm termination)-Spare alcantara pads-‎3.5mm to 1/4 inch gold plated adaptor-‎Hard shell travel case-‎Presentation box

These really are blissful headphones. From the point at which you open the box, you know that you are dealing in a premium product. They come in a hard headphone case, with a spare set of ear cups and a spare cable, which all has a real robust feel. The connections are easy and the cable is heavy duty so I think the spare will stay in the box for a while. But enough talk of fluff...the sound quality is immense. My set up is with an ipad, boosted with an oppo HA2 combined amp and dac and using Tidal to stream high quality audio files. The combo is perfect! You can throw anything at them and what you get in return is an open and detailed sound, robust but not overpowering base, and an eveness that runs through all frequencies. Despite this beautifully structured and unified audio signature, you never lose the sense of the individual voices and instruments. I would say listen to this or listen to that, but actually listen to anything and everything that you want. These bad boys will deliver every time!

Ok so i would describe these as a listening headphones they have a slightly increased bass but still retain clarity and a sense of order. Every instrument is spaced and separate. They have a wide soundstage for a pair of closed headphones and the earcups are really compfy. Definitely good value concidering you get a cable and a set of ear cups spare.They dont have the extension of bass as the se846 but i would say they sound similar without a doubt. If anything these sound smoother and more rounded, more natural.All in all these are a good value set of cans that have the high quality and id expext to last as with most of shures gear.

These are a premium product, at a premium price.This is reflected everywhere, the (excessive) packaging is sumptuous, the build quality is fantastic (aluminium frame and carbon fibre covers). This is a pair of headphones for life, unless you want to always have the latest gear.Comfortable to wear, but not quite a perfect fit for me, I do find I adjust them quite often. They are big, but not too heavy, but you wouldn't want to wear these on a commute!Musically these are the best headphones I've tried, I find myself listening to music more though these just to enjoy the experience, instead of it being too late to have music playing through my main speakers. I'm not an audiophile - I don't talk about tight timing or expansive soundstages, but quite simply, these sound amazing. I could listen to music all day on these, they have revitalised so many albums for me.

Overall the quality does not justify the price of £380.The sound quality is overall good.The cables come off easily. Not secure enough in their sockets.The ear cups come off very easily and are a little difficult to put back on.Got the feeling , they would not last me long.Because of above problems , they were returned.

I'm delighted with the these headphones. It was a big decision for me spending £400 on such a private luxury but they are worth every penny.I'm no hi fi expert but have spent my life working with live music and sound balancing for performance.This is a satisfying, clean, clear and understated, balanced sound. I son't think you can ask for more.They're comfortable too with no perceptible sound leakage.Good sturdy lead which is a good length and looks sure to last.Oh and I love the hard, zipped storage case (I have a small dog!)And the spare (sturdy) lead and spare cushions show confidence from the maker in a long and happy future.

acquistate per sostituire delle vecchie cuffie chiuse hyper X cloud revolver che, sebbene la tipologia di cuffie rendevano bene per la fascia di prezzo che coprivano, volevo fare un salto di qualita' sia a livello musicale , che anche per avere cuffie facilmente pilotabili per utilizzarli in ambienti con rumore e evitare che quello che ascoltavo raggiungesse altre persone vicino ( possedendo gia' due cuffie aperte come le Sennheiser HD599 e HD660s ).ho provato diverse altre cuffie chiuse sulla stessa fascia di prezzo o simile, come le Bose quite comfort II e le beyerdynamic DT1770. alla fine ho obtato per quest'ultima e non mi pento della scelta per i seguenti motivi:MATERIALI: i migliori materiali che abbia mai visto su una cuffia. esteticamente e' bellissima, elegante e la costruzione e i materiali e' di altissimo livello, con archetto completamente in metallo, fibra di carbonio sui diffusori che oltre a dare eleganza alla cuffia, garantiscono un suono e sound stage molto vicino ad una cuffia aperta . i Pad sono bellissimi a piacevoli al tatto, molto resistenti e comodi, sembra di non averli e non trasudano.COMODITA' : pensavo piu' pesanti , alla pari delle beyer, in realta' sono leggerissime: pesano solo 280 grammi e in testa sembra di non sentirle per nulla.. ho passato svariate ore ad ascoltare la musica e nemmeno un fastidio , te le dimentichi in testa. come comodita' posso solo dire che sono alla pari di una HD599.SUONO: qui la sorpresa. hanno un suono talmente equilibrato su tutte le gamme e allo stesso tempo dettagliato che a volte mi capita di preferirle alle HD 660s. con questo non dico che suonano uguali o meglio, al contrario.. ognuna ha la sua timbrica e la sua anima , ma posso davvero affermare che come suono non hanno nulla da invidiare. In confronto alle HD660s non offrono lo stesso soundstage ma i dettagli e la percezione di ogni singolo strumento sono sullo stesso piano con la differenza che avendo una estensione di bassi piu' presente , anche se ben controllata, restituiscono un suono piu' completo e pieno. in merito a questo non capisco i commenti di alcune persone che si lamentano di "troppa enfatizzazione dei bassi" .. NO! niente di piu' sbagliato! qui i Bassi ci sono , ma suonano naturali, equilibrati e controllati!Piccolo appunto da fare in aggiunta : il BUNDLE e' favoloso! oltre alla cuffie e' presente una comoda e rigida custodia , simile a quella che di forniscono con le beyerdynamic DT1770 PRO , con in aggiunta due pad di scorta, e due cavi uguali con un adattatore jack da 6.3 mm a 3.3 mm, per 400 euro un must ( Sennheiser impara da SHURE)Amazon come sempre precisa e in orario sulle tempistiche di consegna.

Soy fanático del sonido mi opinión de esté audífono es: Construcción. 9 Algunas partes de plástico pero del buenoSon bonitos, resistentes, muy cómodosCase resistente, trae dos cables iguales, unas almohadillas adicionales igualesSonido 9Bajos presentes personalmente muy atractivo, para nada exageradoMedios acá seria ni atrasados ni adelantados ja ja donde deben estar, muy clarosAltos sin sibilancia los probé con Amazing grace, con un brillo suficiente, transparente y limpióEn general diré que están equalizados en U hacia flat, pero eso si muy analíticos encuentras todos los sonidos de la grabación muy distinguiblesEl soundstage amplio si llegar a los audífonos abiertosSon para mi gusto muy disfrutables con la ventaja de tener una impedancia baja con o que obtienes muy buen detalle a volumen medioEsto es a grandes rasgos mi opiniónAñado, los uso con un cable balanceado y el soundstage crece una enormidad pero pocos llegan a tener reproductor con salida balanceada así que lo dejo como estaConclusión. Le doy una calificación de 9 tomando como referencia su precioLos recomiendo ampliamente para los usuarios de audífonos cerrados

Ich habe rund 10 Kopfhörer; verkaufe und kaufe auch mal gerne wieder einen.Der SHURE SRH 1540 ist einfach der Kompromiss, den ich am liebsten eingehen mag. Denn der Bass ist endlich mal bei einem SHURE-Kopfhörer so satt und druckvoll, aber auch so genau ohne zu wummern, wie es sein sollte. Dazu kommen diese sensationellen Mitten, die SHURE wirklich gut hinkriegt und der Hochtonbereich kann peitschen, wenn es sein muss, aber auch zart und sanft aufspielen, wenn der Titel das so verlangt. Wirklich ein toller Klang und wie ich finde nicht nur am großen Kopfhörerverstärker, sondern auch schon am Phone bzw. Tablet. Der Preis ist allerdings noch nicht in dem Bereich, wo man jubeln mag. 350€ bis 370€ wären m.E. angemessener. Aber dafür wollte ich keinen Stern abziehen, weil das jeder mit sich ausmachen muss. Der Tragekomfort und die Ohrpolster finde ich sehr gelungen. Mal zwei Stunden das Teil auf den Ohren haben; gar kein Problem. Allerdings ist das ja auch von Kopf zu Kopf unterschiedlich im Empfinden; also einfach mal selber ausprobieren. Klanglich würde ich noch anmerken, dass dieser SHURE insgesamt noch neutral abgestimmt ist, aber schon einen Tick mehr Bassdruck hat. Ich finde das klasse, aber wer ganz sauber und fein etwas abmischen muss, würde das kritisieren. Für mich ist es meine neue Nummer 1 !

A voir la robustesse avec le temps, mais la qualité du son est au rendez vous. Le casque est cher mais il vaut son prix. Je recommande.

He de decir que he sido y sigo siendo un fan incondicional de Sennheiser. No solo es una marca que fabrica auriculares vistosos y de calidad, sino que sus precios son los más competitivos en el mercado del audio. Tras haber probado los HD 598 durante años y puntualmente los HD 600 me decidí a buscar una alternativa. Como audiófilo y amante de la música quería algo que estuviese a la altura tanto en comodidad como en sonido, pero que de alguna forma diese un pequeño salto en detalle y bajos, y tras muchas horas de navegación por foros especializados decidí que para los géneros que yo escuchaba principalmente (Death, Black, Power y todo tipo de metal, Jazz y Clásica) los mas recomendados eran estos maravillosos Shure 1540. Sin más dilación procedo a definir punto por punto los Shure 1540:DISEÑOEl diseño es sencillamente fantástico. Lo primero que llama la atención de estos auriculares es que pese a su apariencia robusta tienen un peso muy bajo, lo cual, junto con las fantásticas almohadillas que llevan, de un material llamado alcantara, los hacen tremendamente cómodos. Es cierto que durante las primeras semanas ejercen cierta presión en la cabeza y pueden acabar causando cierta incomodidad, algo que con los HD598, por ejemplo, no pasaba, pero una vez que les das un poco de uso y moldeo son una maravilla. Los materiales son de calidad y su apariencia es bastante chula con la fibra de carbono y el aluminio como principales componentes. Me he llegado a quedar dormido con ellos (horror!) y han aguantado como campeones sin ningún problema. Hay que destacar que estos auriculares son de cable de doble salida, por lo que deben ir enganchados a cada casco.10/10SONIDOEl sonido de estos auriculares es bastante discutido en la red, ya que su característica principal es irónicamente no resaltar en nada en particular, sino ejecutar todo perfectamente de forma neutral. No tienen unos bajos increíbles, pero se oyen perfectamente y con ese "boom" que tanto gusta a los audiófilos. Los medios y agudos son nítidos, transparentes y con gran detalle. El treble es fantástico y en general, el sonido es detallado y elegante. Lo hacen todo bien pero de forma neutra sin poner nada por encima del resto y eso hay gente a la que no le termina de convencer. A mi me encanta porque no me gusta el hincapié en los bajos, medios o agudos, me gusta el equilibrio y es la palabra que define a estos auriculares, equilibrio. Me hizo gracia ver que en cierta medida guardan similitud en el sonido con los HD598 y los HD600, pero con algo más de detalle y mejores bajos.En conclusión la calidad de sonido de estos auriculares es sin lugar a dudas de alta gama (a fin de cuentas son auriculares pensados para estudio), pero es cierto que si eres de esas personas a las que les gusta que los auriculares tengan una cierta descompensación en favor de los bajos, medios o agudos puede que los Shure te decepcionen. Si por el contrario te gusta escuchar todo en equilibrio y gran detalle los Shure 1540 son para ti. 9,8/10CALIDAD/PRECIO¿Valen estos auriculares 479,00€? Esa es la pregunta que se hace mucha gente antes de comprar unos auriculares de alta gama como estos. Yo, hasta que haya pasado un tiempo, no lo podré decir con total certeza, pero de momento puedo decir que estoy más que encantado. Estoy enamorado de su sonido y diseño, y no he vuelto a ponerme los Sennheiser de momento.Mi nota final es sin lugar a dudas un 5/5Saludos a todos.Edición (24-11-2017): Tras casi un año de uso confirmo que estos auriculares son todo lo que expuse arriba. Sigo encantado con ellos :).He de decir que es importante lavar las almohadillas con agua semi-caliente y jabón a mano cada cierto tiempo, ya que tienen tendencia a engrasarse y ensuciarse. Por todo lo demás he de confesar que me he quedado dormido con ellos unas cuantas veces más y siguen aguantando como si la aleación del aluminio fuese titanio. Recomendados al 100% definitivamente.
