SRH1840

I bought this on accident. I thought I was getting the 1540 closed back. I made a mistake and was going to return them, but then I plugged in just to see. I already have open back headphones in the Sennheiser HD660s that I love. I have to say these 1840's are the best I've heard. The 660s is close but no match in the end. I guess I'm keeping the 1840's. The sound is stunning and the high-end just a bit sweeter all-around. I will still get the 1540's but this 1840 is the keeper. I guess I have 2 open back headphones. I highly recommend the 660s too, but the extra $100 for the 1840's are worth it.

For my setup I required something on the heavier side of bass and picked these up under misunderstood information and for what I needed it did not suit the bill. However, that being said. These are actually very well built headphones, you can tell that these will last a long time. If you're into music that demands clarity and treble then you will enjoy these headphones. They're open-back but are well insulated in that respect which is a unique combination that are not common with other headphones in this category. If you're looking for ABSOLUTE clarity with no muddle (almost to a fault, incredibly clear sound) then these are perfect. I will say though they are still a bit pricey for what they are but I assume it makes up for it with its excellent quality. You can see from other reviews that these will last a long time if they're kept in good condition and retaining the same quality of output; that cannot be said for other headphones that may sound very good but are not exactly ones that are "buy once, keep forever". The cons would have to be the proprietary cables and the weak bass. But I'm assuming those that are purchasing these are not necessarily looking for bass so that's just a personal nitpick. If you need bass then you will extremely disappointing. And if you're a bit hesitant to spend freely for sound then the value proposition is not so well either. Besides that these are great! Will return but that's just because it did not fit what I needed for my taste; no fault of the headphones themselves. It's as if I bought a van instead of a coupe, it could be a great van but I wanted a coupe, haha!

These have been my main headphones for almost 2 years now. I moved from the 840s to these because I wanted open back headphones to save my ears. I was concerned about the bad reviews about the weird distortion that can happen, but I have never run into this issue. I don't know if it is the type of music I produce or if I just can't hear it? I am a singer-songwriter and have been diving into the home recording like so many folks over the last five years. I am happy with these. Though they do make me wish I had gotten them sooner since they help me uncover major mixing mistakes I made previously! I also find them to also be incredibly comfortable.

This didn’t fit my device. I returned it on April 3. It is now April 24! Still waiting for it to “be received “ before my refund can be issued. They have the product and my $500! Not happy!

Choose these. SHURE is the best. You want the same brand as your mic. Almost too good, now when I edit music, it's beyond what others can hear and tell. Goatcho'd.

These are not!! for any kind of bass music, hip-hop, rap, EDM, etc., because the bass is basically nonexistent. These are for natural music, rock, instruments, etc. Extremely clear sound, very comfy, but again, zero bass. Kind of hard to mix what you can't hear.

I was looking for a new open back reference headphone. I originally was going to buy the Hedd Heddphone for my mixing and mastering purposes but ran into a financial emergency so I had to put those on hold and bought the the quick buy 1840s straight from China at steal of a price. I am music producer and I went in buying the 1840 with low expectations since I have Hifiman Jade 2 as my reference headphone. I am surprised, wow, these 1840's definitely outperform my Hifiman Sundaras, Avantone Planar (muddy) and it also marginally beats the Beyer Dt 1990. The Shure 1840 even competes with my Hifiman Jade 2, on par with it in clarity or clearer, the Jade 2 only beats the 1840 with sound stage. I have to say I am satisfied for now with Shure 1840. The separation, clarity and imaging are top notch for dynamic drivers and out performs anything $1,000 and below. I am currently testing the Shure 1840 against my close backs Dan Clark Ether C which I use for reference/recording and will update later. There is no muddiness whatsoever in the 1840 compared to most $200 - 400 mixing headphones I have tried.

I liked the fact that they were comfy therefore they are good for long term use daily. However the sound quality just dosent hit for me they have a bit to much bass and lack HQ sound in all other areas. I even bought an amp to pair up with them to fill in some of the blanks with these still to no avail.it’s to late to get my money back for this product but I hope I helped someone else out on these I much rather enjoy my IEM’s and those were only 150$ Save your money people

SRH1540、AONIC4、AONIC50、AONIC215、本機と、SHUREばかり使っている者です。 個人的にSHUREのヘッドホン・イヤホンはリケーブルが大前提だと思っているので、こちらのレビューについてもリケーブルした状態のものに対するレビューであることを前置きしておきます。 環境はPC→ZEN DAC→4.4mmバランス接続で本機へ接続 ■音質 ・高音域 言うこと無し。開放型の強みである抜けの良さがある上にSHUREのクリアさが加わって文句の付けようがありません。 驚くほど綺麗に鳴らし切ってくれる上に聞き疲れしません。 ・中音域 こちらも全く高音に見劣りしないクリアさで非常に良いです。 女性ボーカルの曲が特にオススメ。 ・低音域 流石に少し量は少なく感じます。 が、必要最低限は鳴らしていますし開放型と言うことを踏まえれば全く文句は無いと思います。 AONIC50よりは低音域が聞き取りやすいくらいです。(AONIC50が低音弱すぎるだけかもですが) ■装着感 完璧です。 眼鏡でも問題無く、好みが分かれそうですが、個人的にはSRH1540より良いです。 ■音漏れ、遮音性 開放型ですから漏れまくりです。 外の音もかなり聞こえます。ほぼヘッドホンを付けていないくらい聞こえます。 音楽聴いていなければインターホン鳴っても気付けますね。 ■総評 SRH1540はド派手な曲をがっつり聴きたい時 本機はゲーム等をやりながらまったり聴く時 自分の使い分けは大体そんな感じです。 ちなみに、PCに繋いでYouTubeの視聴やゲームをよくやる方にはSRH1540より本機の方がオススメです。 装着感も音質も最高なので耳も痛くならず、ムレず、聞き疲れしないので長い時間使っても快適です。 低音の少なさもSRH1540と比べてしまうから弱く聴こえてしまうだけで、そもそも本機のバランスはかなりフラットですから。 低音が多くないと嫌という人はそもそも開放型買わないでしょうし。 自分と同じくZEN DACを使っている方でしたら、 TRUE BASS機能が付いていますから、そちらを使えば正直低音はそこらの密閉に負けないくらいの量になりますし一気にリスニング機のような味付けに変わります。それも好きなところです。

Far better than the SRH1540. The 1540 are too bassy. The 1840 are just right. Good fit and comfort due to soft earpads and light weight, though the clamping is tighter than the 1540. The 1840 sound is superb; detailed, smooth, and elegant. They sound great with classical, jazz, folk, and rock. Even though they are fairly low impedance, the sound is drastically improved with a dedicated headphone amp. I tried them directly plugged into my MacBook Air and I liked them, but then I connected them to my FiiO amp and they really impressed me. At full price they are not worth $700, but on sale for $500, these are really nice entry audiophile headphones.

Excellent casque ouvert. Sonorité fidèle si connecté à un piano numérique Yamaha haut de gamme. Luxueux, confortable et léger. Le seul point négatif me concernant : les oreilles chauffent assez rapidement.

Die Kopfhörer sind, nach nahezu allen Tests, sehr gut und High End. Das war der Grund, warum ich diese als Retoure mit der Amazon-Beschreibung "sehr gut" auch bestellte. Dass die Originalverpackung schon einige, nicht sehr vorsichtige Öffnungen hinter sich hatte, störte mich nicht weiter. Dass das zweite Kabel und der Adapter von 3,5 auf 6,3 mm fehlten, schon eher, aber sei es drum, wenn die Kopfhörer okay sind, kann man das bei dem Preisnachlass (und da hätte ich stutzig werden sollen) auch verschmerzen. Also die Kabel nach Bedienungsanleitung angesteckt und die 3,5 mm Klinke in den Computer gestöpselt. Musik an.... und wie sie hören, hören sich nichts. Kein Ton kam aus den Hörmuscheln. Da frage ich mich doch, wieso Amazon den Zustand als "sehr gut" bezeichnet. Ein Anruf beim Kundendienst, der wie immer sehr freundlich war, ergab die Optionen zurückschicken oder erneuter Preisnachlass. Eine Rückfrage beim Kundendienst von Shure (sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, absolut lobenswert) hatte das Ergebnis, dass eine Reparatur eher nicht möglich sei, ich als Nicht-Erstkäufer keine Garantie habe und es auf einen Neukauf hinauslaufe, da man keine einzelnen Ersatzteile einbauen könne. Das ginge auf "neu für defekt" hinaus und man riet mir ab. So blieb als einzige Option die Rücksendung des defekten Kopfhörers, verbunden mit einem weiteren Weg zur nächsten DHL-Filiale und eine bis zwei Wochen Warten auf die Rückzahlung. Bislang konnte ich von Amazon nur Gutes berichten, aber innerhalb kürzester Zeit hat man mich nachhaltig verärgert, indem man schlechte Ware verschickt hat. Amazon, was soll das ? Warum werden Retouren nicht kurz auf ihre Funktion überprüft ?

Needed to do a lot of late might work (Musically) as I had moved my studio to home. I needed a representation of my room environment but to be able to raise the volume at times. These Headphones do just that and more, At one point I forgot I had them on and thought the music was coming out of my Monitors it was that accurate. Perfect for mixing and monitoring Great sound. Just made to be loud. Great quality of sound and represents exactly what comes from your sound source.
