The SRH1540 is a closed-back premium headphone that offers a unique audio performance, comfort, and durability. The specially tuned 40 mm neodymium drivers deliver clear, detailed highs while providing a warm bass. The SRH1540 impresses discerning musicians and audio enthusiasts alike. The SRH1540 premium headphone is the flagship of Shure's closed-back headphones. Its closed, over-ear design reduces distracting ambient noise and prevents excessive sound leakage. When monitoring, less external noise enters the headphones, allowing for lower listening volumes. During recordings, it prevents headphone signals from reaching the microphone.

The SRH1540 features specially tuned 40 mm neodymium drivers for clear, detailed highs and warm bass. To enhance linearity without internal resonances, the headphones are equipped with a steel frame and a ventilated magnetic pole. With an aluminum alloy, carbon fiber construction, and high-quality Alcantara ear cushions, the design of the SRH1540 is built to meet the demands of daily use effortlessly. At the same time, the SRH1540 provides maximum isolation from external noise and exceptional comfort, even over extended periods.

The SRH1540 has a significantly wider frequency range and finer resolution than the SRH940. Thanks to the Alcantara ear cushions and the lightweight construction with carbon and aluminum, it ensures a more comfortable fit. The SRH1540 represents high-end performance in the living room with its warm, detailed sound. In contrast, the SRH940, optimized for a linear frequency response, is the better choice for sound engineers seeking neutral monitoring in the studio.
