Accurate Monitoring for Recording and Editing
The SRH440A is designed to provide detailed sound reproduction for applications where hearing the recording accurately matters.
Its 40mm dynamic drivers use neodymium magnets to reproduce vocals, instruments, dialogue, and other audio content with low distortion.
The headphones' balanced sound signature is useful when checking microphone placement, identifying unwanted background noise, editing spoken-word recordings, or reviewing a mix.
For podcasters and content creators, this helps make it easier to hear problems during production rather than discovering them after recording.
Closed-Back Design for Studio Isolation
The Shure SRH440A uses a circumaural, closed-back design that fits around the ears.
This construction provides passive isolation from surrounding noise and helps reduce headphone sound leakage during recording.
Unlike open-back headphones, the SRH440A is well suited for use near microphones, making it a practical choice for vocal tracking, podcast recording, voiceovers, and home studio production.
The closed-back design does not use active noise cancellation; isolation is provided by the physical construction and ear cushions.
Comfortable for Extended Studio Sessions
Recording, editing, and podcast production can involve hours of listening.
The SRH440A features a lightweight padded headband and over-ear cushions designed to provide a comfortable fit during extended sessions.
At approximately 268 grams without the cable, the headphones are relatively lightweight for a full-size studio monitoring design.
The ear cushions are replaceable, helping users maintain the fit and comfort of their headphones over time.
The headphones also fold flat for easier storage and transportation between recording locations.
Detachable Cable and Professional Connections
The SRH440A includes a detachable 3-meter (9.84-foot) straight oxygen-free copper cable with a locking connection at the headphone earcup.
The extended cable length provides room to work at a recording desk, mixer, or studio workstation.
A gold-plated 3.5mm stereo plug connects to compatible headphone outputs, while the included threaded 6.3mm (1/4-inch) adapter supports many professional mixers, audio interfaces, and headphone amplifiers.
The detachable cable can be replaced without replacing the entire headphone assembly.
