Product details
The SRH840 is a closed-back headphone optimized for professional recording and demanding sound reproduction. It offers clear mids, extended highs, and dynamic bass. The SRH840 combines maximum comfort with a practical foldable design.
The SRH840 features a precisely optimized frequency response: the sound is very clean, and the details of a recording are clearly audible. The SRH840 always delivers a warm, full sound with brilliant highs, clear mids, and dynamic bass.
The SRH840 is primarily designed for professional studios or well-equipped home studios. However, it is also suitable for audiophile music listening at home.
The SRH840 is built to be robust and flexible. For maximum comfort, the adjustable headband is extra wide and thickly padded. Thanks to the foldable design, the headphones can be compactly folded and stored in the included case.
The single-sided cable can be quickly detached from the headphones using the secure bayonet clip. If the cable is damaged, there is no need to buy a new headphone, as the spiral cable is available at a low cost if needed.
The closed, over-ear design reduces distracting ambient noise and prevents too much sound from leaking out. During monitoring, less distracting noise enters the headphones, allowing for lower listening volumes. When recording, it prevents the headphone signal from being picked up by the microphone.

Reviews & Ratings

Overall ratingVery good84/100
- practical bayonet coupling
- retractable shells
The better is the enemy of the good. The 840 is loud enough for the camcorder - but the competition offers richer bass and more brilliant treble at a similar price.
Good78/100
- Bass-strong
- yet fine resolution headphones with plenty of accessories
- A little too tight a fit of the earpiece
The US listener not only looks powerful, it also flexes its muscles musically. Direct, dynamic and gripping, it brought music to the ear.
Very good94/100

- high wearing comfort
- huge equipment
The equipment giant is a boon during prolonged music enjoyment; it is no longer distracting at all after a few minutes.
