    Shure SRH-1840 Stereo Headphone

    by Dale Thorn from Los Angeles
    March 3, 2012
    Music Background: Piano, coronet, bass guitar, former AES member.
    I really like the sound of the SRH-1840. It has a generally neutral sound over most of its range, but differs from its predecessor the SRH-940 in the following ways:
    The 940 has significantly s... read more [+]tronger bass.
    The 940 has significantly more energy in the lower highs around 5 khz.
    The 940 has less upper midrange emphasis around ~1 khz.
    The 1840 sounds slightly better on upper harmonics.
    The 1840 is lighter and more comfortable, but is open-back.
    The 1840 looks much nicer.
    The 940 is more portable (can be worn around neck all day). close [-]
