Closed-Back Studio Headphones for Monitoring and DJ Mixing
The Shure SRH440A Closed-Back Over-Ear Studio Headphones are designed for home recording, studio monitoring, and DJ mixing where detailed audio reproduction and effective noise isolation are important. Their closed-back, circumaural design rests over the ears to help reduce background noise, making them a practical choice for focused listening in production rooms, podcast setups, editing stations, and music workspaces.
Built with 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers, the SRH440A headphones deliver clear, detailed stereo audio with a frequency response of 10 Hz to 22 kHz.

The single-sided detachable coiled cable provides a variable amount of slack and uses a bayonet clip to lock securely into the earcup. A gold-plated 3.5mm TRS stereo mini plug and included quarter-inch TRS adapter support use with mobile devices, MP3 players, audio interfaces, DJ mixers, and other compatible audio equipment.
The foldable construction supports easy storage and transportation, while the adjustable cushioned headband and replaceable earpads help provide long-lasting comfort and product life for repeated studio or production use.
