Shure SRH840A Professional Studio Headphones

SRH840A Professional Reference Studio Headphones, by Shure.

Developed to provide accurate and well-balanced audio, the new SRH840A Professional Monitoring Headphones are optimized for critical listening and studio monitoring. A precisely tailored frequency response and 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers deliver rich bass, clear mid-range and extended highs. A wide, padded headband and collapsible design combine with Shure durability to provide the ultimate listening experience.

Several improvements were made to the new SRH840A headphones, over the original SRH840. The biggest changes to the new A models are improvements to the comfort, durability, weight, and appearance.

The new low-profile design looks great on camera and closely follows the contour of your head, making these headphones great for podcasting, live streaming, and studio use. Acoustically, they have a similar sonic signature to the original headphones with some improvements: lower total harmonic distortion characteristics and hand-sorted drivers with matched sensitivity to ensure clean, consistent and neutral audio reproduction.

A completely redesigned structure ensures the physical balance, clamping force, and weight are just right to provide comfortable and secure fit for extended periods. Materials were updated to improve durability - including brand new metal-reinforced headband with padded, woven fabric to withstand rigorous daily use – and make the headphones even lighter.

Included 3 metre straight cable allows greater mobility and comfort when compared with previously included coiled cables. Coiled cables are still available as optional accessories.

The optional RMCH1-UNI is a communication cable for single input bayonet connection, and includes a built-in microphone and a 3-button remote control. It’s compatible with models SRH440, SRH440A, SRH840, SRH840A, SRH750DJ, and SRH940. NOT compatible with SRH240A, SRH1440, SRH1540 and SRH1840, or either the Aonic 40 or Aonic 50.

NB: Old and new cables are NOT compatible as they do not fit in both old and new headphones models. The bayonet connector in the new cable is a little thinner than the one in current models and even though they fit in the older headphone jack, the connection is loose and will affect the listening experience. Connecting an old model cable into new headphones jack is not possible as old cables have a bayonet connector thicker than the jack in the new headphones, so it won’t fit.
