Shure SRH840A Closed-Back Over-Ear Professional Monitoring Headphones
Professional Closed-Back Studio Headphones for Recording, Editing, and Mixing
The Shure SRH840A Closed-Back Over-Ear Professional Monitoring Headphones are designed for audio engineers, musicians, editors, and production users who need accurate headphone monitoring for critical listening. Their closed-back, over-ear design supports focused playback in recording, editing, and mixing environments where detailed audio reproduction and reduced background noise are important.
Large 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers deliver an extended 5 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response for accurate audio across a wide range. The closed-back circumaural design rests comfortably over the ears and helps reduce ambient noise, while the wide padded headband and replaceable earpads support comfort during longer production sessions.
The detachable single-sided straight cable provides practical slack management, resists tangles, and can be replaced when needed. A bayonet clip locks the cable securely into the earcup, while the gold-plated 3.5mm TRS stereo mini plug and included quarter-inch TRS adapter support connection to compatible mobile devices, audio interfaces, mixers, MP3 players, and related professional audio equipment.
The foldable construction makes the SRH840A easier to store and transport in the included carrying pouch. Spare earpads are also included, supporting long product life for users who rely on their headphones in regular production and monitoring workflows.
