These are expensive, stay-at-home or studio headphones.
The Shure SRH1840 runs about $499. Sporting an open-back design, it’s definitely packing some high-end sound. But just how good of a sound is it? And is it worth the price tag?
These headphones are a huge asset to any mixing or mastering environment! We can become so used to listening in a specific room and compensating for issues we have learned to hear beyond. These headphones allow you to have a truly honest perspective wether or not your room is acoustically treated.
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.
My impression of the 1840 is: Bass does not roll off, but is slightly less than the Shure 940. Mids are excellent. Presence isn't as lively as most headphones like the 940 or a Grado or even the Senn 600 series. Highs are excellent.
This may show my inexperience, but when I first started using these to make techno and electronica I also noted the lack of low frequency emphasis and parked these for a bit. Then, after a few mixing mistakes, I gave them another try -- I really listened to reference tracks vs.
I was looking for a neutral flat pair of headphones for mixing and mastering. These were recommended to me by my Sweetwater Sales rep Tom. These headphones are light, don't clamp hard on the sides of your head, come with a 1/8 and 1/4 adapter and an awesome case.
