I have spent a long time researching headphones. Although this model is now several years old the reviews are very good. They are better than some headphones I was looking to buy at £1050. I have paired them with a Chord Mojo which is also excellent. They sound superb, albeit the bass is not as deep as some other headphones on certain tracks. They are extremely comfortable to wear even with glasses. I would give these 5 stars as they tick all the boxes for someone like me who just wants to listen to music which sounds great. Excellent headphones, definitely worth a look in before you buy anything else. One tiny thing is the cable is too long. You get 2 plus a spare set of ear pads which is unheard of, but both cables are too long and I would like a shorter one which I can’t seem to find on Shures website which means I will need a bespoke cable.

Very pleased with the quality of these headphones. They have a fuller sound than 1540 headphones so a good upgrade. May sell some other headphones I have, as these are so clear sounding and so natural. I can forget I'm wearing them because of sound quality and comfort level. They don't force themselves upon you when listening, the sound is just there, without you being aware of the headphones. Definitely try before buying more expensive headphones.

Oh wow...I knew they’d be good, but I didn’t expect such purity of sound image. I use them for studio work with an Alan & Heath QU 32 desk and they are the best headphones I’ve ever used. Only off putter, but not for me, open back bleeds a lot of sound, if you are in the same room as the microphone it can pick up said bleed and even feedback!!! That is such a small problem; but don’t use them on a quiet train as a punch in the face often offends!!!
