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.
