A New Benchmark in Headphone Comfort and Accuracy

The Shure SRH1840 professional open back headphones will envelope you in comfort and great sound. With their detailed highs, rich bass, and superb accuracy, the SRH1840s make excellent studio monitors. Open-back headphones give you a more natural, speaker-like listening experience, with a more spacious soundscape than closed backs can produce. This makes the SRH1840s ideal for monitoring, mastering, and critical listening. You'll also love how comfortable and adjustable the SRH1840s are. When you're in the studio for hours on end, the last thing you need is a headache! If you're in the market for new headphones, check out the Shure SRH1840!

Amazingly "speaker-like" monitoring with spacious soundstaging
The Shure SRH1840 professional open back headphones give you a convincingly speaker-like monitoring experience.

The SRH1840's open-back design, wide and accurate frequency response, and individually matched neodymium drivers serve up amazingly natural sound, a wide stereo image, and stunning depth of field. The result? Better-sounding recordings!

Extreme, lightweight comfort and adjustability for extended studio use
The Shure SRH1840's headphones sport cushy circumaural earpads that comfortably envelope your ears and a fully adjustable, premium padded headband, so you can you monitor marathon sessions without discomfort.

    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 [-]

    I have a pair of headphones that I've considered to be my favorite one for a long time. Let's just say that those aren't my favorite anymore.

    I don't mind using my SRH1840 for long per... read more [+]iods of time. The high frequencies are so smooth, and not tiring at all. It's such a joy to use. Obviously, they're not my first choice for iPods, but in my studio, it's going to be used a lot! :-) close [-]
