Diese Kopfhöhrer sind für den Professionellen Gebrauch gedacht.Einstöpseln und tollen Ton genießen ist hier schon teilweise, aber es fehlen etwas die mitten.Ohne eine Soundkarte im PC oder einen Analogen/Digitalen Equalizer hört es sich gerade in den mitten etwas Schwach an. Dieser Kopfhöhrer ist für den Einstieg in Professionaler Musik gedacht, daher ist es vielleicht gewollt.Wenn man eine Soundkarte hat wie ich (Sound Blaster Z reicht hier aus), kann ich den Equalizer einstellen (dass dauerte bei mir ein paar Minuten [hier mal etwas rauf, hier mal etwas runter und immer genau hinhöhren.]) und ich bekomme dann am Ende einen bombastischen Sound.Ob es Soviel Geld Wert ist, ist jedem selbst überlassen. Ich hatte lange Zeit, es zurück zuschicken und habe es bewusst behalten.LG

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.

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!

モニターヘッドホンについて調べられるだけ調べ、試せるだけ試したのち、こちらを購入しました。開放型であること、音がフラットであること、音質が良いこと、リケーブルできること、重さ、装着感、デザイン等その他あらゆる面から検討したのですが、最後に購入の決め手となったのは装着していても耳にまったく当たらないという点でした。長く装着していても耳が痛くならないのは本当にありがたいです。勿論、その他の要素についても大満足です。個人差はあると思いますが、こちらのモニターヘッドホンはかなりの割合の人の耳に物理的に干渉しないと思います。

Acabo de comprar estos audífonos y son exactamente lo que andaba buscando.Soy dueño de los SRH 1540 los cuales adoro y me decidí a comprar los SRH 1840 por sus firma de sonido.Es el mismo driver de 40 mm pero uno en caja cerrada y el otro abierto.Me encanta escuchar música de todo tipo y buscaba un modelo abierto dado que el rock se escucha increíble acentuando la rapidez de las guitarras y las voces, los 1840 son precisamente eso, tienen un sonido muy neutral, rápido sin fatiga, no sientes la presión en tus oídos y eso ayuda un montón a tener esa sensación de aire en la música, el bajo no se pierde, definitivamente no tienen el bajo de los 1540, pero la aplicación es genial, seco y rápido.La sensación de sonido es de 360 grados y no solo a los lados o al frente y atrás como otros audífonos que he escuchado.Son extremadamente ligeros, súper cómodos, te olvidas de que los traes.Tengo varios amplificadores/DAC mi favorito es el Hugo 2, se escucha increíble, audio Nirvana, todas las capas se reproducen extensamente, también tengo un reproductor Astell n Kern SR15 y los manejó sin problema, los 65 ohms son fáciles de manejar a través de dispositivos móviles, en el iPhone se escuchan bien pero no al nivel del Amp/DAC.Muy feliz con mi compra los recomiendo ampliamente.

If I only had three words to describe the Shure SRH1840 then it would be “smooth as silk”. To be honest the first thing I noticed about the SRH1840's was how comfortable they are and not their sound quality. It took a little time and some side-by-side comparisons with my previous headphones to really appreciate the quality on offer.So some context, I’ve got a Chord Mojo amp plugged into my Samsung S7 and I’m using Tidal HiFi and some lossless CD rips as source. My previous headphones were the well regarded but considerably cheaper Audio-Technica ATH-M50X and the ageing but in their day flagship Shure E5C in-ear phones.How the previous equipment sounds isn’t so important here but when compared to the SRH1840 their flaws became apparent. The previous headphones made music sound as if all the vocals and instruments where pressed up against a glass window all clambering for my attention at once. Everything was bunched up and too eager. The SRH1840 opens everything up. It is as if the musicians have been allowed to relax and not have to fight for my attention. They’ve been given space to simply exist. And whilst smooth is the first thing I’d say about the SRH1840, space would be the second. No longer are things pressed up against the window in a linear fashion, there is now a depth and space between everything. And the third thing? Bass. Yes, it’s there and it is plenty deep, but what really shines through is that it no longer wobbles like jelly. Bass notes actually start and stop and can be distinctly heard; they no longer merge into a nondescript deep thud.So I suppose this is not about are the Shure SRH1840’s better than some other high-end headphones but rather what it might be like to go from a cheaper headset to these. If you are thinking about it I’d say go for it, their smoothness alone simply makes listening to music less fatiguing and far more enjoyable. It is also worth noting that a decent headphone amp is highly recommended for smartphone users and lossless source material is almost a prerequisite. If you don’t have any of these then it really isn’t worth spending this kind of money on a pair of headphones.On first listen they may not give that immediate wow impact but quality whispers it doesn’t shout.

Since purchase I have been using these about as much as I have been my Shure se846 I.E.M.s. these headphones are a fine complement to the 846 is that I've had in service for about two years The main problem with these headphones in comparison to the 846 is is that their bass response is neither is deep nor nearly as accurate. Despite this they certainly punch above their price level. Accuracy is the key here and they do a fine job in that respect. I tend to listen to my music quieter than most and in this regard the Shure SRH 1840 are one of the absolute best performers. Their uniformity of sound delivery quiet or loud is admirable although they can get overwhelmed at higher output levels and although they do not distort the relative ratios of frequency response goes all over the map. I've noticed this effect in the audio at an output level of somewhere in the 95 decibel range to the ear(borderline between uncomfortable and painful) and above. All that said I'm very happy for their performance with the money spent. I'm using this primarily with a Denon da-300USB + a Ray Samuels/ emmeline hr-2 via PC with high resolution audio files and CD rips alike and also the Pioneer XDP - 100r with the aforementioned in addition to TidalUpdate for October 2017:I have since upped my DAC game and after bouncing between the Chord Hugo and the Schiit Yggdrasil I bought the latter and still use the HR-2 amp. The Yggdrasil only made me love the SRH1840, Se846, and SE535 model more. After nearly two years on, I actually have developed a preference for the laid back bass of the SRH1840 vs the se846 and would strike my original comment about bass accuracy. Especially for mid range to quieter output levels the 1840s have only been bested by from what i have personally heard Sennheiser HD800 for full range coherency.Update August 2018:As time rolls on I find myself grabbing these 4 out of 5 times where isolation or portability isn't a consideration. How well these sound on any output device has me loving them more and more. Like the Yggdrasil, they stand as a piece of equipment I feel no need to survey the field for an upgrade. Then again, its been so long since I have bothered listening to any other over the ear headphones for more than a few days essentially since I bought them. They will survive source upgrades and changes, allow you to tune your ear and music perception. They are very revealing headphones.They are comfortable for >5 hours sessions, have held up exceptionally well, and still reveal nuances that I just don't pick up on any other playback system I have. I am still using original factory pads which look great and the headband is seemingly without wear.I whole heartedly recommend them 2 years on.Edit 2025: Still a pleasure to listen to though I must admit new earpads are a couple of years over due.

# Update 2021-125+ year update. These have lasted 5 full years. They still look brand spanking new. (except for the leather headband.) Still on cable 1 and earpads pair 1.I recently bought a Fidelio X3 and as is practice, I immediately set out to compare it against these. The X3's have a 50mm transducer compared to a 40mm on the Shure. The x3 does some things better IMO. The sound stage is wider, and the instrument separation is better as a result. The clarity at least to my ears seems better as well. I still need to do some more eval on this, but the Philips picked up way more detail on a couple of tracks I listened to. But also, they sound sibilant. Which is annoying. Maybe some EQ can fix that.The Shure on the other hand, sounded really really well rounded. Maybe not as resolving, (not sure if age of the headphones also has a part to play here.), but so well rounded. So sublime. And the vocals - oh my God! So so sublime. Makes me smile. In retrospect was it worth $500 - Absolutely yes!# Update 2020-12Touch-wood, these headphones are still going strong. I am still on my first cable and earpads, so it's lasted 4+ years. The leather headband has completely given way, just as I suspected. This is a poor design decision. I contacted Shure, and they do have a replacement band for ~$20 or so, so I am not taking any stars off.I also acquired a SRH1540 for use in Office. I like those, because they have a lot more sub-bass than these, and they both actually sound very close to each other in terms of sound signature. The sound-stage isn't that lacking on the closed back 1540's. I however, still prefer the 1840's, even if only by a small margin.# Update 2017-02I've since bought a pair of SE846's and while it is not a reasonable comparison, (IEM vs Open Back), and the bass of the SE846 is superior, I find myself gravitating to the SRH1840's almost all the time when I'm at home. I simply love the open and airy sound of open back headphones. The one thing I would change about these headphones is also include a shorter cable that is similar to the SE846 cable - (I actually wish I could use the SE846 ones with these, but you can't - you can actually use these cables with the SE 846 though :D I've not listened to music through it)# Update - 2016-10I picked up a pair of AKG K7120 pro's a while back, and they are very good headphones really. They can cost you anything between $300 and $500. The pair I bought was made in Slovakia. If price is a concern, you might want to look at the K712 pro's as well. The K712 pro sounded nearly as good as the SRH1840 to me. It did seem to have a wider soundstage that I didn't really like as much. I finally decided to keep the SRH 1840 and sell the K7120 pro - I think if you need just ONE headphone for all around duty, and are not constrained by a budget, this is the one to get.## Original Review:The Shure SRH 1840 is an excellent pair of headphones. There are some considerations however that you will be faced with if you're planning on buying one.1. The price - is the $500 price tag justified ?I have personally not tested out some of the high end headphones these would and should be compared to. I have however compared it to the Philips Fidelio X1 and the Shure SRH 1440. Now, keep in mind that the Fidelio X1 initially came out for ~ $600, and then dropped in price to $500, and further down to about $250. The Shure SRH1440 costs $300. ($200 less than the 1840)The price also generally stays consistent. Shure doesn't seem to want the resellers drop the price on these. I have not seen the price drop. Having said that, I bought mine for less than $400. For that price, I can justify the purchase. (Kinda)Now, like the 1440, these come with an extra pair of earpads and cables. They also come with a case to put them in - all of which is great.2. QualityThe sound quality is top notch. For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, these just sound nicer than the 1440. When compared to the Fidelio X1, these do lack the sub-bass. I think depending on the track, I enjoyed these on tracks that had more vocals and I enjoyed the Fidelio for tracks that had a deep sub-bass to them. String instruments sounded better on the Shure as well, in terms of tonality, and also the space between the instruments.3. ComfortThese are insanely light weight. They are much lighter than either the X1 or the 1440.CONSThe one downside I can think if is the leather headband - it doesn't seem to be replaceable. I wonder if that will give out first. Time will tell.The other small complaint I have is that both the cables are the same length. I don't mind it not coming with a headset. I don't plan to use this for gaming, or for phone calls. But I would have liked a shorter cable for use with Portable DAPsOverall a great pair of headphones.
