Frequently asked questions about this product
What is the Shure SRH440A intended for?
Podcasting, home recording and editing and mixing. Shure is targeting monitoring: hearing exactly what was captured during a vocal take, not a flattering version of the signal.
What does uncoloured sound reproduction mean?
That the headphones add neither bass nor brightness to what they receive: what you hear matches what was recorded. It is the opposite of consumer headphones, tuned to flatter music — and it is what lets you correct a mix without getting it wrong.
What happens if the SRH440A cable breaks?
It can be replaced: the straight cable is detachable. On studio headphones plugged in and unplugged several times a day, it is the part that fails first, and being able to change it saves replacing the whole headphones.
Can you connect them to an audio interface or a mixing console?
Yes, a gold-plated threaded 6.35 mm jack adapter comes with the headphones. The thread screws it onto the plug: it cannot stay stuck in the console's socket when you unplug, a classic studio mishap.
Does sound leak into the microphone during a vocal take?
The design is closed-back over-ear: the cushions enclose the ear and reduce background noise. This is what makes the headphones usable in a vocal booth, where an open-back model would send the monitor mix back into the microphone.
How good are the 40 mm drivers of these Shure headphones?
They are dynamic neodymium magnet drivers, which Shure associates with a natural, well-balanced response with low distortion. Over a session of several hours, it is this lack of harshness that limits listening fatigue.
Do these headphones have electronic noise cancellation?
No, there is no active cancellation: the isolation is passive, provided by the closed cushions around the ear. No processing alters what you are listening to, which is precisely the aim of monitoring headphones.
Can the SRH440A withstand intensive daily use?
Shure highlights premium-quality materials and a robust design built to last, with a padded headband for extended sessions. The design is also presented as looking good on camera, for video.
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
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.
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.
•7 h of listening per charge, more than 30 h in total with the case
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.
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.
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.

•Ear cups swivel 90° for one-ear monitoring
•15 Hz – 22 kHz response
•40 mm drivers with neodymium magnets and CCAW voice coils
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.
Microsoft Teams certified, for calls and concentration in an open-plan office: noise-cancelling microphone, leatherette ear cushions that damp the background noise and an in-line controller for volume, calls and mute.
Volume and mute are set straight on the cable, with an indicator light as a reminder that the mic is off. Padded leatherette earpads and 2.4 m of cable to stand up during a call.
Plug them into a phone with no headphone jack: a built-in audio converter and two drivers per earbud, of 11 and 8 mm, deliver clear, balanced sound. Microphone and three-button remote on the braided cable.
Light, with swivelling foam earpads and an adjustable headband: it can be worn for hours through online meetings. The swivelling noise-cancelling mic tucks into the headband once the call is over.
Two beamforming microphones on an extended boom filter out office noise during calls. Up to 20 h of listening or 16 h of talk time, and 5 minutes of charging gives back 1 h of call time.
