Shure SRH240 Professional Quality Headphones (Black)

I wanted the cheapest OVER THE EAR headphones(for comfort reasons)that wouldn't disappoint when it comes to sound quality. I would have bought Sennheisers but I read they were not comfortable on some forums. I have a FAT head so I knew The cheaper Sennheisers would squeeze my head if they squeezed others.
I didn't want to fork out the cash for The Higher quality Sennheisers. I tried a few things at Best Buy(gift card) before landing on these. My FAT head with large ears can wear these for a few hours. I have tried better but not for the price. I wish the pads were just a little deeper. There is a little more pressure than I like from my ears touching the speaker.
They sound really good, however If you like an insane amount of artificial bass you might get something else. I find the sound to be true and flat. Well worth $50.

Since no one else has reviewed these headphones I thought I would give my input just to inform those interested. I am more of a home audio guy. I don't need to use headphones too often because I am a single guy and I can pretty much listen to whatever I want without worrying about bothering anyone. I have some high end stuff and consider myself to be a pretty discerning listener.
With that in mind, I would say these headphones are well worth the money. I didn't want to spend a fortune on headphones because I knew I wouldn't use them all the time but in the cases where I need a set of cans, I didn't want to have inferior audio that would just drive me nuts to listen to. I have heard better stuff but you have to pay twice as much, and in some cases ( like with anything Bose makes ) you would not be getting near the audio quality that these things have.
These are not really for someone who is looking to thump their brains out either. But if you want a pair of headphones...Read more

I am comparing these with two other sets...

Logitech G35
Koss UR40
Shure SRH240

Notes:

The G35 allows modification of Bass and Treble levels, so I boosted them as follows: bass: +9 treble: +9.
The RealTek HD Audio headphone jack was used for the other two sets with no sound modifications.
The G35 was tested in stereo mode (surround virtualization off). Now let's begin...

Bass:
G35: 4 koss: 4.5 shure: 3.5
Clarity:
G35: 4 koss: 3.5 shure: 4.5
Brightness:
G35: 4 koss: 3 shure: 4.5
Comfort:
G35: 2.5 koss 4.5 shure 4.5
Construction:
G35: 4.5 koss: 3 shure: 4.5

Now let's run the numbers...

Value:
Logitech G35 - 19
Koss UR40 - 18.5
Shure SR240 - 21.5

With bass and treble maxed out, the G35 has enough bass to satisfy and is tighter sounding than the UR40. The cord is thick, surrounded by a woven material, and...Read more
