What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Shure SRH440 Professional Headphones, accurate audio across an extended range, collapsible, black

The sound quality is excelent and the product is really high quality.
The fit is nice on the ears nice big cups.
Really comfortable. Although they don't have a recess for glasses the padding is so soft you don't even notice it.
Great build quality. They're really well made and look like they could withstand some abuse not that would say I'm clumsy or anything
Really impressed with these. As soon as you take them out the box they feel like a professional set of headphones.

Sony MDR-7506/1 Professional Headphone, Black

The build quality is top notch as you would expect from this price range.
The pads fit almost exactly around my ears and block most of the outside.
They're comfortable, capable of being worn for hours on end, day after day, without even a hint that your ears are being forced to conform to a shape they don't like.
The build is quite robust and compact at the same time
They are rugged, and fold down so perfect to carry over when I head down to the club on Fridays.

What customers say about "Features"

Shure SRH440 Professional Headphones, accurate audio across an extended range, collapsible, black

I bought these back in 2010, so I've been using them for a while. The sound quality is very good
Wonderful. Best set of headphones I've had for a long time (I've had a lot). They are a very true sounding set, not to bass oriented
Isolation is amazing almost like noise cancelling ones.
The sound is excellent across all frequencies. They are not bass-heavy as is the case with a lot of headphones at this price.
The detachable coiled cable is a nice feature.

I have rediscovered lots of music that just sounds amazing through these headphones
The sound is bright and crisp, with incredible detail. You hear things that you previously didn't appreciate in music, thats my experience anyway.
They also fold down very nicely so that they fit onto the palm of one hand.
These are better then my Bose, better then my Beats, and better than any headphones I can recall using in a very long time.
I was expecting these headphones to have weak bass, but the bass is nice and strong - clear, sharp, you can hear it.
