Why you can trust What Hi-Fi?
Shure's SRH range of professional headphones claims to be the first choice for “music obsessives.”
Well, as far as the SRH440s are concerned, the obsessives here at What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision would position them slightly further down their pecking order.
Fans of dance will be impressed by the energetic sound: there's power aplenty, but at the expense of refinement and subtlety.
Their one-dimensional approach and the lack of natural finesse means they struggle to keep you interested.
