The SRH1840 lives up to its premium title and price. It is clear they have taken the same legendary attention to detail they offer in their range of microphones and applied that here.

It's true that they are not cheap, but I can honestly say that the SRH1840s put into shade all of the other headphones I've ever tried, and I would be happier mixing on these than on budget active monitors. It's a big investment, but I have bought a pair for my own use — knowing that if I didn't, I'd always be dogged by the feeling that something was vaguely unsatisfactory about my existing phones! If you're in the market for a really good pair of headphones, these absolutely must go on your list to try out.

The lightweight design and extra-comfy earpads of the Shure SRH1840 Professional Open Back Headphones ensure high comfort over long listening sessions. These ruggedly built headphones also come with an extra set of detachable cables and replacement earpads.

Brilliant to listen to, with an amazing ability to bring out the fine details of a recording
