There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The presentation is just astounding. None of the parts of the headphones are cheap and make you question your purchase. Each part is high quality (Unlike some headphones with flimsy plastic). These are also very big (You may want to look up pictures or videos of people wearing these to gauge an estimate). You can indeed wear these out in public transit (Which is what I will do), but just know that these are not the typical sized headphones that people normally wear outside.
Also, the items aside from the headphones are just great - a very good quality case, which contains two cables and an extra pair of ear pads, and the headphones themselves. However, again note that these headphones are not really targeted towards users who are using public transportation, and so the case may be a little larger than you'd expect. Again, definitely check the size and dimensions of it before thinking you can fit it in any bag. Besides this "con," however, the case is absolutely marvelous, and it's great to see companies like this give you the accessories for the price you pay.
Now for the sound? Excellent. It's neutral (Targeted at those working and editing tracks), but for a person like me, I found that I can listen to these with any genre - hip hop, rock, jazz, dance, etc. The added "effects" of other headphones can be bothersome when changing songs from one genre to another, and a neutral sound quality presented by the SRH1540 is fantastic.
There is noise isolation for these headphones, and I found it marvelous. If you're listening to some music at a low level, you will barely hear a thing! Also, the comfort level of these headphones is out of the world! The padding is excellent, and will hug your ears - this can prompt you to wear these for hours without feeling any discomfort. I must add that after a LONG period of time you will feel some slight clamping pressure, but I did not mind this at all. (NOTE: This varies with each person because of the differing head sizes, so I would definitely try to see if you can test wear these out at a local electronics store that sells them)
Now of course these headphones do have some flaws. I find that at high to very high volume levels the headphones kind of "dip" and can be hard to listen to songs with vocals (Particularly female). However, I've only had these for just one day, and will continuously monitor and update this post if necessary.
Another thing I didn't really like was the fact that the cables didn't have any volume control or functionality with the iPhones. Yes, I know that people like me aren't necessarily the target audience, but it would have been nice to receive some variations in the cables I'd receive.
IN SUMMARY:
+ Amazing build quality
+ Excellent sound
+ Comfort is just fantastic
+ Accessories don't try to cheat their way out
- Vocals (Particular female) at high volumes can be quite hard to listen to
- Some clamping force after a long period of time (I was wearing these for nearly 5 hours before I really felt anything, mind you)
- Cables don't have any functionality with your iPhones, Androids, etc.
OVERALL: 9.75/10
A+
- Bose QC25 sounds muddy and underwhelming by comparison to these (and those are really good headphones already with a reasonably unadulterated freq response).
- Sony WH-1000XM3 sounds way too bass heavy and overpowering at the expense of detail (and I'll be honest, I have never liked them)
The comfort is also great with the SRH1540s. I haven't had any issues with the clamping force as some of the other reviews seem to suggest. Top tip: I learned from a friend that you can get spare parts for them by emailing Shure Support for very reasonable prices (even components that they don't list on their website like the headband), but they come with a spare cable and a spare set of ear cushions so it'll probably be many years before you need to replace anything. Another top tip: wait for a sale. These do go on sale. I got my pair on Prime Day for $350 directly from Amazon - I had had them on my Wish List for 6 months and don't think I would have ever bought them for the full retail price. But yeah, I suggest you wait for a sale, too, because while these are great headphones, I don't think they are blow-your-mind-for-$500 good. You know? I also own a pair of Hifiman Ananda that you can pick up on the preowned market for just under $500 and those serve up 20% more detail, crisper sound that sparkles (in a good way), far superior soundstage, and that open and airy feel that you only get from open-back headphones. The only thing that the SRH1540 does better is bass, which is definitely punchier and still equally clean and tight. But otherwise, the Ananda is a superior pair of headphones that better justifies paying $500 for them.
One down-side I've found with the SRH1540s is that there is A LOT of mechanical cable noise. What I mean is that when you put the headphones on, you can hear the cable brushing against your clothes, against the desk, basically any movement of the cable at all and you'll hear it in your cans. I have found no solution to this other than to raise the volume to drown it out (though still at 20% volume on a Dragonfly Cobalt with a laptop as the source). I suspect that is because the materials used to build the cans are very stiff, which is great for frequency response, but also means it'll transmit mechanical noise without much dampening.
In closing, I really like these headphones and plan to keep them, but for anyone interested I would suggest to wait for a sale because they are really good, but $500 is too much to ask for them. Also, please remember two things: 1) that sound is an immensely subjective thing, and your opinion is the only one that matters - and definitely don't rank things based on the price tag. And 2) whatever headphones you end up buying, give them two weeks for your ears to adapt to them. If you still don't like them after 2 weeks, then they are definitely not for you and you can return them and gleefully continue your search along the joyful journey that is being a novice audiophile. :)
Top reviews from other countries
Ho avuto tante cuffie di varie marche, alcune sono ritenute delle Best Buy nella loro corrispettiva fascia di prezzo. HD560s , Akg K371, AT MSR7, Hifi Man Sundara. Ho dovuto sostituire le Sundara perché necessitavo di una cuffia Chiusa e non mi fa rimpiangere per niente la Magnetoplanare. C’è tutto, Dettaglio, Soundstage , timbrica molto naturale.
Rispetto alle Sundara, al mio orecchio , sono più divertenti. in basso scendono di più. Non hanno il punch delle Magnetoplanari ma scendono maggiormente e il basso rimane comunque molto dettagliato. Questo dona corpo a tutte le canzoni. Al primo ascolto potrebbe risultare debordante ma dopo un po’ di rodaggio(della cuffia o delle orecchie non so)tutta risulta più equilibrato. Il prezzo è sicuramente alto ma vista la qualità sonora , la costruzione della cuffia, gli accessori , ci si sente ampiamente ripagati dalla casa produttrice. Per non parlare della leggerezza e della comodità. Questo è il mio end game delle cuffie chiuse. Salendo di prezzo probabilmente si troverà di meglio su alcuni parametri, ma al momento è la migliore “all around” mai sentita . Consigliatissima.
ho provato diverse altre cuffie chiuse sulla stessa fascia di prezzo o simile, come le Bose quite comfort II e le beyerdynamic DT1770. alla fine ho obtato per quest'ultima e non mi pento della scelta per i seguenti motivi:
MATERIALI: i migliori materiali che abbia mai visto su una cuffia. esteticamente e' bellissima, elegante e la costruzione e i materiali e' di altissimo livello, con archetto completamente in metallo, fibra di carbonio sui diffusori che oltre a dare eleganza alla cuffia, garantiscono un suono e sound stage molto vicino ad una cuffia aperta . i Pad sono bellissimi a piacevoli al tatto, molto resistenti e comodi, sembra di non averli e non trasudano.
COMODITA' : pensavo piu' pesanti , alla pari delle beyer, in realta' sono leggerissime: pesano solo 280 grammi e in testa sembra di non sentirle per nulla.. ho passato svariate ore ad ascoltare la musica e nemmeno un fastidio , te le dimentichi in testa. come comodita' posso solo dire che sono alla pari di una HD599.
SUONO: qui la sorpresa. hanno un suono talmente equilibrato su tutte le gamme e allo stesso tempo dettagliato che a volte mi capita di preferirle alle HD 660s. con questo non dico che suonano uguali o meglio, al contrario.. ognuna ha la sua timbrica e la sua anima , ma posso davvero affermare che come suono non hanno nulla da invidiare. In confronto alle HD660s non offrono lo stesso soundstage ma i dettagli e la percezione di ogni singolo strumento sono sullo stesso piano con la differenza che avendo una estensione di bassi piu' presente , anche se ben controllata, restituiscono un suono piu' completo e pieno. in merito a questo non capisco i commenti di alcune persone che si lamentano di "troppa enfatizzazione dei bassi" .. NO! niente di piu' sbagliato! qui i Bassi ci sono , ma suonano naturali, equilibrati e controllati!
Piccolo appunto da fare in aggiunta : il BUNDLE e' favoloso! oltre alla cuffie e' presente una comoda e rigida custodia , simile a quella che di forniscono con le beyerdynamic DT1770 PRO , con in aggiunta due pad di scorta, e due cavi uguali con un adattatore jack da 6.3 mm a 3.3 mm, per 400 euro un must ( Sennheiser impara da SHURE)
Amazon come sempre precisa e in orario sulle tempistiche di consegna.
Construcción. 9
Algunas partes de plástico pero del bueno
Son bonitos, resistentes, muy cómodos
Case resistente, trae dos cables iguales, unas almohadillas adicionales iguales
Sonido 9
Bajos presentes personalmente muy atractivo, para nada exagerado
Medios acá seria ni atrasados ni adelantados ja ja donde deben estar, muy claros
Altos sin sibilancia los probé con Amazing grace, con un brillo suficiente, transparente y limpió
En general diré que están equalizados en U hacia flat, pero eso si muy analíticos encuentras todos los sonidos de la grabación muy distinguibles
El soundstage amplio si llegar a los audífonos abiertos
Son para mi gusto muy disfrutables con la ventaja de tener una impedancia baja con o que obtienes muy buen detalle a volumen medio
Esto es a grandes rasgos mi opinión
Añado, los uso con un cable balanceado y el soundstage crece una enormidad pero pocos llegan a tener reproductor con salida balanceada así que lo dejo como esta
Conclusión. Le doy una calificación de 9 tomando como referencia su precio
Los recomiendo ampliamente para los usuarios de audífonos cerrados
Der SHURE SRH 1540 ist einfach der Kompromiss, den ich am liebsten eingehen mag. Denn der Bass ist endlich mal bei einem SHURE-Kopfhörer so satt und druckvoll, aber auch so genau ohne zu wummern, wie es sein sollte. Dazu kommen diese sensationellen Mitten, die SHURE wirklich gut hinkriegt und der Hochtonbereich kann peitschen, wenn es sein muss, aber auch zart und sanft aufspielen, wenn der Titel das so verlangt. Wirklich ein toller Klang und wie ich finde nicht nur am großen Kopfhörerverstärker, sondern auch schon am Phone bzw. Tablet. Der Preis ist allerdings noch nicht in dem Bereich, wo man jubeln mag. 350€ bis 370€ wären m.E. angemessener. Aber dafür wollte ich keinen Stern abziehen, weil das jeder mit sich ausmachen muss. Der Tragekomfort und die Ohrpolster finde ich sehr gelungen. Mal zwei Stunden das Teil auf den Ohren haben; gar kein Problem. Allerdings ist das ja auch von Kopf zu Kopf unterschiedlich im Empfinden; also einfach mal selber ausprobieren. Klanglich würde ich noch anmerken, dass dieser SHURE insgesamt noch neutral abgestimmt ist, aber schon einen Tick mehr Bassdruck hat. Ich finde das klasse, aber wer ganz sauber und fein etwas abmischen muss, würde das kritisieren. Für mich ist es meine neue Nummer 1 !
