Well suited for audiophiles and mastering engineers, the Shure SRH1840 are open-back, over-ear headphones that provide all the features you need for a critical listening experience. These headphones sport matched 40mm drivers equipped with neodymium magnets, delivering a balanced, clear, and articulate sound with accurate bass and smooth, extended highs.

Audiophiles will appreciate the steel driver frames, which sport vented center pole pieces to eliminate internal resonance, ensuring a consistent performance at all volume levels.

Both will enjoy the comfortable fit and durable construction that ensure many years of use.

I have now tried 4 different headphones: Sony MDR-7506, Beyer DT990, Sennheiser HD650, Shure SRH1840. My intent was to find headphones that I could mix with, sounded suitably neutral, and have a similar response to my Yamaha HS7s, and to my HiFi which I use as an audio reference (Naim 42/110, into Rogers Studio One speakers..) Here are my conclusions/comments 1. Sony 7506: great for tracking; decent response, good isolation(I have two pairs of these..) 2. Beyer DT990: too much bass plus a sibilant top end, and 'scooped' mids. I did not like the sound of these. Returned. 3. Senn HD650: better than the Beyers but still an over-emphasized bottom end. Nice for general listening through a good headphone amp, but not good for mixing. Returned. 4. Shure SRH1840: best of the bunch, and sound very similar to the HS7s in my home studio. Bass is tight and responsive, and seems faithful to the intent of the recording. Also sound pretty close to my 'reference' hi-fi system. These are keepers. I wish that they were made in the USA.. ! 5

The SRH 1840 are use for critical listening to mix and mastering audio material. They are very neutral with a well define low end. At this time they are not fully burned in, but the translation between phones to speakers is great. Audiophiles will love them for their good retain price. 5

After several months of use these phones are continually pleasing. Easy to wear but sturdy. A sometimes startling open and multi-dimensional soundstage. I'm not a golden ear but mine hear honest, accurate, well-balanced, satisfying reproduction. No sound in the middle of your head phenomenon. 5
