Let me start off by saying I have had these headphones for around 2 years. They are great. After two years of daily use, they are still functioning perfectly, and I've never had to replace the cable or the ear pads. Most of my other headphones eventually broke after a few months which is why I decided to invest in a more expensive pair. Boy, did that ever pay off. If you've never used a pair of studio monitor headphones before, the first thing you'll notice when putting them on is how well they block out noise. They aren't active noise cancelling, but the ear padding is nice and thick and plastic body is heavy duty, so it's almost like putting on a pair of earmuffs. They have very low sound leakage, so even at high volume you won't disturb your roommate or family members. They are very well made, as I stated above I have been using mine daily with no problems whatsoever. It comes with an extra set of ear pads, and the cable is detachable. The cable appears to be a proprietary connector, so replacements would have to be ordered through Shure. It also comes with a soft pouch which the headphones fold up into. If I had to choose one word to describe the sound of these headphones, it would be...clear. After listening to these headphones it makes all the phones I've had before it sound dull and lifeless (most of them were under $50). Earbuds are laughable compared to this. This highs are crisp and clear, the mids are full and warm, and it has a nice strong low end. It isn't overly bass-ey like some headphones (cough cough beats by dre). Listening to super heavy bass tracks, it handles them nicely. It can produce sounds down to and below 30hz, at which point you just feel them vibrating against your skull. Overall they have a very balanced sound. These are amazing headphones and I would encourage anyone to pick up a pair. I have only two complaints regarding these phones (neither of which had anything to do with the headphones themselves). The first is that I have looked high and low and can't find a hardcase to fit these in. The only ones I could find that they fit in are well over $100. The second complain is that when having a high quality set of phones like these, you can really start to hear the difference between low quality and high quality mp3s. This drives me absolutely crazy because listening to low quality music really defeats the purpose of having nice headphones. Overall, I give these headphones 5 start. I would recommend to everyone.

Great Sound, Awful Build
Look, these are the best closed-back headphones you are going to get in this price range. A lot of people compare the sound quality to Sennheiser HD 600, and I think these are as close as you'll get for closed-back.BUT! The materials and build quality are unacceptable. I have had these for less than a year and the hinge that everyone has talked about for years broke with gentle treatment. After contacting Shure, they want me to go through the whole process of sending these in for repairs.They need to make the exact same set of headphones but with metal on the band. I don't know whether I would recommend buying these or not. Headphones should last for years, but the sound is really good on these....

Initially, I might add, there was a cable missing in the first order, however, Amazon sent me another set of headphones and I returned the original order. Everything was good after that!
Thanks Amazon for making things right with this order!
