I used to own one of these Shure SRH440 headphones, bought for studio mixing due to seeing lots of good reviews, plus its claim of being 'Studio Grade' -which shows how naive I was a the time in falling for such marketing hype. Before applying it to a studio setup, I spent a lot of time using them to listen to music, which was pleasurable, with a well-balanced bass response, as well as decently defined mid and high frequencies. However, I realised the deception after I mixed a song until it sounded astoundingly big and perfect. I then switched it over to the monitor speakers and that mix to be a total mess. It then dawned on me that these were actually hifi headphones that were very forgiving of anything put into them, and therefore totally unsuitable for mixing.
I thought these headphones would at least be good for monitoring, but upon singing, the hinges would squeak as a result of jaw movement. So no good for that either. They'd also be absolutely useless for a drummer too, because they easily move.
Within about six months of average use, the pads began to crack, and after a few more months a wire broke away on one side due to it eventually catching on the hinge. Repair of this break became near impossible, because the wire was so brittle that it kept breaking, so I just threw it all in the bin, which was the best place for them.
