    False Marketing from Shure (Headphones won't fit all head types)
    1 Star
    False Marketing from Shure (Headphones won't fit all head types)
    As a user of the SRH840s (gen 1), I liked the sound of those headphones but they were getting a little old. So when I saw that there was a new gen 2 update I decided to order them. They were advertised to be like the previous version but "better".Long story short - THEY WERE NOT. They were much smaller than the previous gen 1 version and didn't fit my head at all. I've tried many different pro headphones throughout my career as a sound engineer but these were the smallest-fitting ones I've ever seen.DO NOT BUY if you have a head that's a bit bigger than average. The sound of these is also very different if you were a fan of the gen 1 you will be disappointed. It's just different.I reached out to the Shure support and they only replied several months later and after 6 month of false promises of replacing them with a gen 1 pair they stopped responding.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Headphones!
    Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2022
    These are very good for monitoring your studio work. They are very comfortable and light. The ear pads fit nicely over the ears and greatly reduce the sounds around you, thus helping to eliminate any music feeding back into the microphone. This was a good purchase and suited my purposes for recording in studio. I would recommend them. Hopefully I will not have any issues with them, but if I do, I will contact Amazon and let them know. The were shipped to me in a soft envelope by Amazon, but fortunately, they are in a very well packaged box from Shure. The price was also great!

    Initially, I might add, there was a cable missing in the first order, however, Amazon sent me another set of headphones and I returned the original order. Everything was good after that!
    Thanks Amazon for making things right with this order!
