Shure SRH840 Professional Monitoring Headphones (Black)

It is way better than the m50x. How?1. No sibilance.2. Better built quality, with far better earpads.3. Mids is the biggest difference between these and the m50x. Mids on these sound very rich.4. Bass is punchy not boomy. Overall sound quality is much better than the m50x.Now to the review. Lets start with the cons.1. I do not like the way wire comes out of each ear cup, making it a disaster waiting to happen. Shure should have integrated the wire in the headband like audio technica has.2. Weight. These do feel heavy but not uncomfortable. Weight is a good sign of built quality but for something we wear, weight is a con.3. No straight 3.5mm short wire provided. You get a lenghty coiled wire but it is impractical to use while listening from daps or any other portable device.4. Cheap carry bag. Its pleather and it won't last forever.Pros-1. Sound quality. You can check out "Z Reviews" on youtube, but in short , the sound quality is way above your average bose beats and even some sennheiser. I do have a HD 598 se and the shures outperform them by a huge margin. I'm doubtful about these outperforming the hd650 though (but the 650s costs 35k). These do sound exceptionally good. My audio source is mostly the fiio x1 2nd gen dap. And I usually listen to audio cd rips in lossless formats. As the impedance is not that much you can use these with your smartphone as well (i would recommend using lossless files though).These also sound great with iphone's music.2. Built quality. Its mostly good quality plastic with the driver covers on each side being made of metal. It can take a fall or two but i would recommend you handle these well, especially the wires sticking out of the earcups.Bottom line- If you are planninng on spending about 10k on good quality headphones then these should be the one, not the m50x. I don't hate the m50x, but they are not worth the money with their awful earpads, built quality and sibilant sound quality.P.S. I'm using these with brainwavz earpads, you can check out that review through my profile.
