Shure Closed-Back Over-Ear Professional Monitoring Headphones - SRH840A

Product Overview

The Shure SRH840A professional monitoring headphones deliver a precisely tailored frequency response for recording, content creation, and reference monitoring in commercial AV and broadcast facilities. The closed-back, circumaural design isolates the listener from room noise so engineers and operators can monitor program audio accurately. These professional studio monitoring headphones combine 40 mm neodymium drivers with a detachable locking cable for dependable, daily use.

Product Description

The SRH840A is tuned to reproduce rich bass, clear mid-range, and extended highs, making it a dependable reference headphone for recording, broadcast monitoring, and post-production. Low-distortion 40 mm dynamic neodymium drivers deliver a natural, well-balanced response for critical listening in control rooms and editing suites. The closed-back, circumaural earcups reduce background noise, which is important in shared production spaces and live broadcast environments. A lightweight, padded headband supports comfortable all-day wear during long sessions. The detachable locking cable secures into the earcup and is field-replaceable, reducing downtime and support cost for AV teams managing multiple headsets, and the headphones fold flat for storage and transport. With 40 Ω impedance and 97 dB/mW sensitivity, the SRH840A drives cleanly from mixing consoles, headphone amplifiers, and portable interfaces. For lighter-duty monitoring or higher headphone counts, the Shure SRH440A is a comparable closed-back option. Shure backs the SRH840A with a two-year warranty.
