Frequently asked questions about this product
What is in the box of the Shure SRH1540?
Four accessories in addition to the headphones: two detachable cables, a gold-plated threaded 6.35 mm jack adapter, a zippered hard case and a spare pair of Alcantara ear cushions.
What happens if a cable breaks on these headphones?
It can be replaced: the cables are detachable with MMCX connectors, a bayonet connector designed to be reconnected thousands of times. Two cables are supplied anyway, so a broken cable does not leave you without headphones.
Why Alcantara ear cushions on these studio headphones?
For comfort and sound isolation: this suede-like fabric keeps a soft surface over long sessions and closes the seal around the ear. Shure supplies a second pair, because it is the part that wears out.
What is the SRH1540 made of?
Aluminium alloy and carbon fibre, for an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic headband. On headphones intended for entire days of mixing, a light frame matters as much as the padding.
What difference does the APTiV diaphragm make on these headphones?
The steel driver housing, its vented centre pole and the APTiV film aim to reduce distortion and eliminate internal resonances: the sound stays consistent at any volume, a prerequisite for reliable critical listening.
Are the two drivers identical?
Yes: Shure specifies individually matched drivers, so the left and right drivers are paired. On mixing headphones, any difference between the two channels would distort any judgement of stereo placement.
Is the supplied cable of particular quality?
Yes: it is made of oxygen-free copper with a reinforced jacket, which Shure links to both durability and sound quality. It is the type of cable found on studio equipment.
Do these headphones have electronic noise cancellation?
No, there is no active cancellation: the isolation comes from the closed-back over-ear design and the Alcantara ear cushions. Nothing processes the signal, which is exactly what you want from critical listening headphones.
A dedicated button to open Teams, and an alert warns you when you speak with the mic muted. Up to 16 h of talk time with active noise cancelling, 25 h without.
•Hybrid active noise cancelling, 3 levels
•Up to 16 h in conversation with noise cancelling, 25 h without
•Up to 24 h of music listening with noise cancelling, 40 h without
Up to 35 h of conversation and 30 m of range. Three microphones isolate your voice from office noise, the oval memory foam cushions filter out what surrounds you, and the busy indicator stays visible from every angle.
Up to 30 m of Bluetooth range, 16 h of talk time and a simultaneous connection to the computer and the smartphone. In an open-plan office, the Busylight indicator turns red as soon as you are on a call.
More than 100 hours of wireless battery life, and recharging that does without a cable: just set it on a base. Foldable for long journeys, with an M button to customise from the app.
•More than 100 h of wireless battery life
•Wireless recharging on a base, or via the included USB-C cable
Swapping cables takes a second: 3 m straight in the studio, coiled in the field. The 40 mm drivers with neodymium magnets reach up to 24 kHz, and the ear cups swivel 90° for one-ear monitoring.
Three microphones per ear and wind-cutting processing keep the voice intelligible mid-run. Up to 12 h of listening from the earbuds with noise cancelling off, and 48 h in total with the case.
The silicone ear hook with memory wire bends to any ear shape and stays put during exercise. 10.5 g per earbud, touch controls and Ambient Aware mode to stay aware of the road.
Two battery regimes: 10 h from the earbuds alone and 40 h in total with the case, noise cancelling on; 12 h and 48 h with it off. Ambient Aware and TalkThru let outside sounds back in.
More than 30 h of listening in total with the case, 7 h of that for the earbuds alone, and the case also recharges wirelessly. Simultaneous connection to two devices, and playback stops as soon as you take an earbud out.

Wireless charging case
•Multipoint: two devices connected at the same time
Airy and wide without giving up all isolation: the 50 mm drivers cover 10 Hz to 30 kHz, with bass that is present but controlled and readable mids. It plugs straight into a computer.
Swapping cables takes a second: 3 m straight in the studio, coiled in the field. The 40 mm drivers with neodymium magnets reach up to 24 kHz, and the ear cups swivel 90° for one-ear monitoring.
No dedicated amplifier needed: it plugs straight into a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop with no loss of volume. The 50 mm drivers cover 10 Hz to 25 kHz and the 3 m cable can be replaced if it breaks.
Sixteen hours of playback per charge, and a folding design that makes it fit in a bag. Made from 100% recycled GRS-certified plastic, for 167 g on the head.
One earcup swivels 90° to listen with a single ear and keep the other on the booth, the DJ's gesture. Response reaches 22 kHz and isolation stays tight: the same model moves from mixing to tracking to the booth.
More than 100 hours of wireless battery life, and recharging that does without a cable: just set it on a base. Foldable for long journeys, with an M button to customise from the app.
The JBL Headphones app tunes the equaliser to your taste, and Voice Aware lets you hear your own voice during a call. Connected to two devices at once, 220 g on the head, 76 hours of stated listening.
It plugs into a computer as easily as a tablet or a smartphone, with nothing to install. Rotating noise-cancelling microphone to wear on the left or the right, volume and mute on the cable.
14 mm drivers, large for this format, give scale to music and to videos alike. Just 10 g, with a multifunction button and a microphone on a 120 cm cable.
The red light comes on as soon as you are on a call: your colleagues know not to interrupt you. Unidirectional boom microphone that folds up when not in use, and a 3.5 mm jack to connect a phone or tablet too.
