It is simply amazing. Enjoying music. Exceptional detail. Sound stage is very open. Balanced sound.

I use these to mix complex tracks, they are incredibly comfortable, very transparent, and totally honest. In particular the bass is tight, accurate, and involving.

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?

I've had the SRH1840's for over a year now and am still impressed by them on a daily basis. Solid construction and ergonomically they feel great. I've worn them for up to 4 hours with no physical strain on my ears/earlobes. They yield an excellent, detailed and uncolored image.

These SRH1840 monitoring headphones from Shure are a top-tier model for those looking toward the high-end of audio enjoyment. If you're willing to make the investment, you won't have much to be disappointed about when these land on your doorstep.
