Wonderful piece of technology

As a musician, I need a neutral, honest monitor system with a linear frequency response as possible, and natural sound. I have heard some of the best local and popular reference headphone sample at Thomann and was enthusiastic about the Shure SRH-1840 immediately. Full pressure over the entire frequency response down, though a slight emphasis at the 8 kHz rum, but not annoying. My ears had to get used to a little of the increased detail in the higher frequency ranges. Along with the good sized "stage" and the astonishing three-dimensional view, there is a wonderfully natural, detailed sound that makes them sound like tin cans many other headphones. The SRH-1840 has an open design, which means outside noise hardly be insulated, and the outside world also gets well with what you're hearing - this type is the sound quality, but particularly beneficial. Anyone looking for a headset on the go, or want to know excluded noise is wrong here. Bass are clear and clean reproduced, but they are not overly stressed, as with many cheap headphones, but fit well into the overall spectrum. "Bass Heads" will probably be disappointed, but everything is present, nothing is missing. All the way down in the "basement".

The build quality is appropriate to the purchase price in each case, the accessories can be proud of, is obtained but a padded with foam pocket for safe storage and transport, as well as replacement cable and ear pads, which the service life of high-quality processed headphones at no additional cost nor should significantly increase. But the box does make a fine impression that Shure has spared no expense. It also smells nothing strictly chemically or uncomfortable, a good sign of quality.

The comfort is good for my personal taste, the contact pressure is a touch too high, but also nothing slips. The low weight also allows for extended wear without much effort, the set size of the reserves in good headphones. On both sides the incoming cable, by the way well and wobble-free sitting after plugging, I had to get used to first. I find it somewhat compared "unfree" from the feeling which led cable only left in the headphones than my previous Sennheiser HD555. However, the cable length to two drivers in the two-sided solution is equal to what is technically advantageous. Not to otherwise both drivers the Shure SRH-1840 are individually tailored, a real reference earphones provide.

I hear details in the music, which I never noticed before. Even poor mixtures are shown mercilessly honest, the headphones can mix any individuality, rather than squishing everything to mush. Music was never aware of so diverse in their vote!

For an average person do even more favorable headphones, there is a wide range of models, and I think a lot more favorable headphones are better than "jester" suitable as the Shure SRH-1840th So if you need it, the flagship of Shure? Musicians and audiophiles who do not be blinded by pressive bass, but want to collect music in their entirety and with all its details and are looking for a natural, clear sound. Strong buy recommendation for this wonderful piece of technology.
