Shure’s New Pro Over-Ear Headphones

Shure SRH 850 HeadphonesShure has been in the in ear (pro and otherwise) headphones for quite a while, and it was just a matter of time before they expanded to the Pro Market…

Introducing the SRH line of headphones from Shure. Designed for Audio Engineers and Musicians alike, these headphones seem to oddly mirror Sony’s MDR line. Three models of increasing size/comfort… Although it does seem the lowest model of the three beats the heck (comfort wise at least) out of the MDR 7502s.

Here’s the Run Down…

    From the sound of things, these may not be the flattest headphones ever (see: AKG recording headphones), but more in the ball park of the Sony MDR Line (See, DJ Headphones, Live Sound Headphones), but Shure may go and prove me wrong.  Let me know if you’ve gotten to take a listen!  Leave a Comment!!
