Sound on Sound, October 2011 -
"I think the frequency balance of these phones, with its ruthless absence of hype at the low end, is much more a blessing than a curse. Most mixes stand or fall on the mid-range, and you quickly appreciate the detail and clarity that these phones bring to that region. After a lot of listening, I even began to feel that my beloved Sonys were sounding muddy and veiled by comparison. The good levels of comfort and isolation make them ideal for tracking as well as mixing." See full review

"Think of the Shure SRH940 as the NS-10 of the headphone world. You might not like what they are telling you but they're only being honest"
