Priced $399 locally at Addicted to Audio, the Shure SRH840A is the upgraded version of the very highly rated SRH840.

Targeting the same sound quality as its predecessor while weighing less and boasting better comfort.

One of the most highly rated closed backs in Crinicle's Headphone Ranking List. Which is based on scientific measurements and he is subjectively neutral oriented.

I'm sure you have your favourite reviewers, see what they say about the original SRH840, or even better if they have an updated review of its successor.

Disclaimer: I have not tested them, nor do I own them, so I cannot give my personal opinion on them. Nor do I plan to buy them, but I saw they are decently priced on Amazon and decided to post for others.

  Anyone know how these compare to dt770s?

    Not sure. But if I had a guess, it would be that the SRH840A's would have more bass, and be less bright, when compared to the DT770s.

      Opposite actually looking at their measurement graphs. SRH840A is more neutral, less bass and no harsh trebles and doesn't suffer from the late mid dip which hurts the mids performance with the DT770s.

      Overall the SRH840A should be much more balanced/neutral and much better for monitoring.

      For some people though, they find the neutral less enjoyable. So subjectively it's a matter of taste.

      From memory, the DT770 have a massive bass bloom and start hitting spikes from around 4 kHz onwards. Both are v-shaped headphones in effect, it's just the original SRH840 do a much better job of it.

  The original is still on Amazon for around $199 from the UK right now if you want to go down that road. These have been at this price for a while.

  As I understand this, it's a completely new design and new drivers, but with the same vocal tracking goals. It's marginally more v-shaped (original was a mild V), with more sub-bass extension. Staging might be slightly better on these than the originals as well.

  I haven't heard them, and there's not a lot of reviews that compare the two yet, but these would potentially be a contender alongside the originals and the K371, you just have to appreciate that it's not neutral, and that the staging would be narrower despite having perhaps a better treble presentation.

  Timbre comparison would be close, and both would be good for a closed back in that respect.

  Tried 840 before, unimpressed by how flat it was, not much engagement. IMO, perfect for production or monitoring, and maaaybe vocals too, timbre’s great for that, not really great for doof doof music.

    Isn't that what some of the purists want though? Neutral, accurate (if they were), not biased towards any particular frequency or characteristic

      That is true to some, but I myself enjoy my music not neutral or flat, so there’s that. It is a very subjective hobby after all.

        dainese on 31/05/2022 - 09:24

        Yeah, true. I actually like neutral with a hint of bass to give off a bit of warmth. But I got no idea.

        I do miss my Shure SE535. But throughly enjoying the KZ x Crincle in-ears. absolute bargain at $50 or whatever.
