Headphones come in many forms and cover many ranges of sound quality, and Shure wanted the latter to be wide indeed when it made the SRH1540 Premium Closed-Back Headphones.

Which is to say, the new headset boasts a very wide frequency range, with extended highs and warm bass sounds.

Two 40 mm neodymium drivers are used, hidden within the folds of the large closed-back headset.

Speaking of which, the product is built with aluminum alloy and carbon fiber, as well as maximum sound isolation.

The newcomer also has steel-driver frames and a vented center pole piece (better linearity and lower internal resonance).

As for the headband, it is fully adjustable and light enough to wear for hours, or so Shure says.

"The SRH1540 offers a pronounced bass response and the widest overall frequency range, while retaining the same level of craftsmanship as our open-back SRH1840, making the SRH1540 an ideal choice for engineers, musicians, and audio enthusiasts," said Matt Engstrom, category director for monitoring products at Shure.
