Con
Sound can be unexciting
While the accuracy from these is great for studio use, some may perceive this as boring. You may need a different pair of headphones after your studio monitoring/mixing sessions using the SRH1540, if a fun sound is what you are after.

Isolates noise well
Despite the perforated ear pad surfaces, the sound is effectively isolated inside the ear cups. The thick memory foam is quite effective at preventing the sound from leaking out and noise mix in.

Pro
Natural and balanced sound
The sound signature favors accuracy more over boosted frequencies. The highs are detailed yet are not too bright or harsh. The mids have good presence and never gets in your face and the bass delivers good punch while staying controlled.

Ear pads are very comfortable
The interior materials of the ear cups are of thick, quality memory foam which are soft with just the right level of firmness. On the surface is a perforated fabric material which is smooth on the skin and helps in breathability, so heat build-up around the ears should not be an issue.

Pro
Lightweight despite being full-sized
These headphones may look bulky, but are actually pretty light at around 280g. Aircraft grade aluminum is used on the yokes, while the ear cups have carbon fiber inlays, both of which are light yet sturdy materials. The low weight makes these relatively easy to wear.

Cables are detachable
The cable attaches to the ear cups via an MMCX connection, with magnets surrounding the connectors. The connection is quite secure, yet can be disconnected with some force. This reduces the chances of damaging the cable or the headphones should the cable be accidentally yanked.

High quality cable is not likely to break
The cable is fairly thick, Kevlar reinforced, and has a lot of strain relief on the termination points. This robust construction should allow the cable to withstand regular use and abuse for a long time.

Great accessory bundle
The accessories that are included are not abundant, but really add a lot of value. There is an extra pair of the high quality ear pads which is a rare inclusion for high end headphones, along with an extra cable. Also, there is a case with a hard plastic shell; a step up from the usual soft case that is included with most headphones within the price bracket.

Neutral and detailed sound
Treble is quite detailed, but lacks a bit of sparkle on the highest frequencies as they are rolled off. The mids are just right, not too forward and not too rich. The bass has good presence and punch, but is not very powerful.

Con
Headphones may feel warm and sweaty quickly
While the leather surfaces feel soft and smooth on the skin, they also trap heat very well. You may feel the warmth building up quickly around the ears and on the head. This can also be an issue if you sweat a lot.

Pro
Very good passive noise isolation
Its closed back design along with the fairly thick, leather-surfaced earpads are very effective at keeping the music in and the ambient noise out. This is very useful in tracking situations, and will also help you focus on the audio even when in a busy, noisy place.

Con
Ear pad openings are quite small
If you have large ears then the small ear cup opening may be a problem. They may feel tight around the ears, or even sit on your ears instead of go over them, which you may find to be less than ideal.

Pro
Fairly comfortable on the head
The headband and ear cups have fairly thick padding to ease the pressure on the head. These are covered with leather material so they feel smooth.

Con
Weight is on the heavy side
The use of metal and quality plastics on the headphone construction, as well as the magnets in the drivers contribute to a hefty weight. While this is not a problem to wear for short periods, you may feel some head or neck strain when using the headphones for hours. This also makes the headphones an extra challenge to bring on the go.

Sounds great even without an amp
A headphone amp is not required in order for these to pump up good volume and sound details, so these can work well off of portable devices. There is a noticeable improvement in sound quality and volume when used with a proper amp though.

Pro
Build is solid and feels durable
A combination of high quality plastics and metal are used for these so there is minimal flex and rattles. The headphone joints and yoke also have smooth movement, which make these feel premium when held.

Pro
Cables are easily replaceable
The cables can easily be detached, with 3.5mm jacks as ear cup connectors. This makes looking for new/replacement cables very easy.

Can be used for taking calls
Stock cable has an in-line microphone. Not only is this convenient for taking calls while listening to music, but the mic's sound quality is good, with voices sounding clear, full and with good volume.
