Product details

The SRH1840 is a high-quality open-back headphone that delivers unparalleled acoustic performance thanks to its individually tuned drivers. Its extended highs and precise lows will satisfy both studio professionals and audio enthusiasts.

The SRH1840 fully utilizes its open design, making it ideal for professional mixing, mastering, and demanding audiophile music listening:

  • A more natural, open sound
  • Enhanced sound fidelity that feels more alive
  • Better spatial localization of instruments

Individually Tuned Drivers:
Thanks to the individually tuned drivers of the SRH1840, users experience unmatched acoustic performance that is extremely linear and free from distortion of the original source. The crystal-clear highs are extended and sound very smooth. The lows reach deep and remain precise.

High Comfort and Detachable Cable:
The lightweight and sturdy aluminum construction, velour padding, and cushioned headband ensure high comfort even during extended use. The SRH1840 features high-quality craftsmanship typical of Shure's robustness. The detachable cable with gold-plated MMCX connectors allows for easy and convenient cable replacement.

Included Accessories:
The package includes two oxygen-free cables and adapters, a sturdy storage case, and replacement velour ear pads.

The Difference from the SRH1440:

  • The drivers of the SRH1840 are individually tuned to reproduce the sound on both sides as identically as possible.
  • The sound of the SRH1440 is slightly more pronounced in the bass range, while the SRH1840 offers more precise lows and smoother, extended highs.
  • The frame of the SRH1840 is made entirely of metal, while the SRH1440 has a plastic housing with a metal substructure, making the SRH1840 more compact, lighter, and therefore more comfortable.

Rank 3 out of 8AudiovisionReleaseJuly 2013

The neutral and open sound stands out particularly well in the test. The Shure SRH 1840 also scores with its high wearing comfort. The distortion in the low bass and the low volume when connecting to mobile phones are annoying.
