Pros

Spring steel headband, leather padding and velour earpads make these headphones very pleasurable to wear even for many hours at a time. Light weight, roomy earcups and low clamping pressure make them very comfortable to wear. Only criticism is that th...  Read More

The srh1840 is amazingly detailed, balanced, and listenable. The best way to describe the experience is creamy with a smidge of brightness, with an amazing open stage and crystal articulation.

Headphone amplifier (built into an empty altoids box) and several devices around the house, including a 4th generation ipod touch and a pioneer elite sc-35. Dre, or even higher-end sony headphones. Shure is the premier name in headphones and these bab...  Read More

Headphone screams quality, durability and elegance. I'm no headphone connoisseur, but these are the best 'phones i've owned.



Cons

The 1840 sounds like the music is coming from a bottom of a well. The headband is still terrible though! Also, they're a little too lightweight, feel a bit flimsy, and having cords on both sides is inconvenient.

Price


Yes v expensive but i look at them as a longterm investment that will continue to bring me real pleasure


In sum if you love music are considering these headphones and are questioning whether the price is worth it all i can say is yes


Having said that i bought mine for less than 400


They can cost you anything between 300 and 500

Packaging/appearance


The phones come in a really wellpresented box with an inner semirigid protective case


The box the shure srh1840 professional open back headphones came in was impressive indeed


I bought of pair of these headphones back in 2015 old packaging


Included in the case are two sets of leads two sets of cups and a 1434 jack adapter

I recently bought a fidelio x3 and as is practice i immediately set out to compare it against these


Detachable cable and a traveling case is something that you most likely wont get with the competitors headphones
