What customers say about "Key Specs"
Shure SRH1540 Premium Closed-Back Headphones
  • Sensitive enough to sound phenomenal without an amp, straight from an iPhone.
  • There's a lot of detail and air, at the expense of a solid, full-bodied bass.
  • I've found these Sure to hit the sweet-spot in almost all areas like high impedance and frequency range.
  • The closed-ear design shuts out an amazing amount of background noise.
  • These closed-back headphones are very comfortable with excellent sound.

What customers say about "Features"
Shure SRH1540 Premium Closed-Back Headphones
  • The microfiber/suede fabric on the cups is lighter, comfier, and more durable than leather.
  • The earcups housing the 40mm neodymium drivers, the sound feels open and spacious.
  • The comfort level of these headphones is out of the world! The padding is excellent, and will hug your ears.
  • Headband is bad, it's uncomfortable and has weird design overall.
  • I didn't really like was the fact that the cables didn't have any volume control or functionality with the iPhones.
