<\/p>\n

It was in March of 2010 that I picked up the Shure SRH840 headphones. I really love these things. In January of 2015, I had them replaced due to some strange audio issues. I thought this was a good deal. I paid $79 to replace headphones I paid $150 for just 5 years earlier. The replacements weren\u2019t refurbs. (as I previously thought) They were brand new headphones in the box. Great job, Shure!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s that blog post where I got my SE530s and SRH840s replaced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I use the SRH840s at my desk at work full-time. Thankfully, no one has stolen them because they\u2019re fantastic cans. If they were stolen, I\u2019d buy a new set in an instant. They do travel with me once a month I\u2019ll take them home and pack them away in my backpack. I\u2019m in Bermuda writing this and I just grabbed my headphones and there\u2019s a crack in the plastic. I was just using them 5 minutes ago! Sigh, the crack happened seemingly at random.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve emailed Shure which will likely mean another $79 replacement. Worth it.<\/p>\n
