Product details

The SRH1540 is a premium closed headphone offering unrivalled audio performance, comfort and durability. The specially tuned 40 mm neodymium drivers provide clear, detailed treble with warm bass.
The SRH1540 will satisfy demanding musicians and audio enthusiasts. The SRH1540 Premium Headphones are the flagship of Shure's closed headphones line. The closed, circumaural design of the SRH1540 reduces ambient noise and prevents too much of the headphones' sound from escaping. When listening, less unwanted noise enters the headphones and the listening volume can be reduced. When recording, the headphone signal is prevented from reaching the microphone.

The SRH1540 features specially tuned 40 mm neodymium drivers for clear, detailed treble and warm bass. For improved linearity without internal resonance, the headphones feature a steel frame and a vented magnetic pole. With an aluminum alloy, carbon fiber construction, and high quality Alcantara ear cushions, the SRH1540's design is engineered to easily meet the demands of everyday use. At the same time, the SRH1540 guarantees maximum isolation from external noise and first-class wearing comfort, even for several hours.

The SRH1540 has a much wider frequency range and finer resolution than the SRH940. The Alcantara ear pads and the lightweight construction with carbon and aluminium ensure a more comfortable wear. High-end in the living room this is what the SRH1540 stands for with its warm, detailed sound. Whereas the SRH940, optimized for a linear frequency response, is the better choice for the sound engineer for neutral monitoring in the studio.

Wer keine linearen Kopfhörer sucht, sondern eher auf einen vollen, fetten Klang steht, sollte die Shure SRH1540 auf jeden Fall ausprobieren. Für mich überzeugen sie vor allem durch ihren sehr bequemen Tragekomfort und der dennoch guten Abschottung von außen. Persönlich kann ich dafür die vorhandene Basslast verschmerzen...
