Shure Headphones: SRH1840

Excellent detail, insightful, confident, natural sounding, flexible build, comfortable. Brilliant to listen to, with an amazing ability to bring out the fine details of a recording

What Hi Fi, July 2012 (Group Test Winner)

The best headphones I have ever used (or earnestly auditioned) are the open-back Shure SRH1840's. In addition to that, they are the most comfortable headphones in my collection. When I really need to hear the truest, most undeviating representation of a recording, I will reach for my SRH1840

Tape Op, June/July 2012

I can honestly say that the SRH1840’s put into shade all of the other headphones I’ve ever tried. 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

Sound on Sound, July 2012

...if there’s another pair of open-backed headphones that sound so spacious, so engaged and so direct, well, we haven’t heard them

What Hi-Fi, April 2012

There are plenty of closed back headphones that are very easy to fall in love with, but when it comes to open backed headphones the SRH1840s are top of the tree

Juno, March 2012

Both headphones are comfortable to wear over long periods of time; they assemble easily and they both sound great

CE Pro, 27.06.2012

The SRH1840 headphones' above-average comfort levels make them a pleasure to use for hours at a time. The tonal balance is very accurate, bass isn't exaggerated, and the treble is perfectly balanced so it's not too bright or dull. Wide-open stereo imaging is one of the SRH1840s' best qualities, and you'll never feel like the sound is locked inside your head.

CNET, 14.06.2012

The best headphones that I myself have ever used (or earnestly auditioned) are the open-back Shure SRH1840. In addition to that, they are the most comfortable circumaural (over-the-ear) headphones in my collection.

When I really need to hear the truest, most undeviating representation of a recording, I will reach for my SRH1840.

Tape Op, May/June 2012

The SRH1840 Professional Open-Back Headphones feature individually matched drivers for an unparalleled acoustic performance, including smooth, extended highs and accurate bass. Developed with premium materials and precision engineering, the custom-crafted design is extremely lightweight and durable. Ideal for mastering or critical listening applications. The included storage case, replacement set of velour ear pads, replacement cable, and threaded adapter ensure years of uninterrupted listening enjoyment.

Shure Headphones: SRH1540

The SRH1540s are 100 per cent worthy of their price – and your attention 

Winner of 'Best Home Over-Ear Headphones £300+' at 'What Hi-Fi?' Awards two years in a row (2014 & 2015)

The acoustic performance of the 1540’s is brilliant.

The clarity, balance, and detail, are what you’d expect from a premium set of headphones, and are best observed when listening in a quiet environment, though when used mixing in a club during our tests, the SRH 1540’s were beyond adequate.

American Songwriter, 02.12.2013

The SRH1540 epitomize our “ideal sound,” making fewer compromises and scoring more wins than any full-size headphone we’ve heard under $1000.

Digital Trends, 04.02.2014

These are the most comfortable big cans we've ever slipped on. Oh, and by the way they sound fantastic.

Men's Journal, 11/14/2013

Being a closed-back version of the Shure SRH1840s, you’ll have maximum sound isolation for hours of comfortable listening.

Shure Headphones: SRH1440

Although £400 may seem like a lot of money for a set of headphones, considering the ability and versatility of the SRH1440s, I'd say they're something of a bargain!

IT Reviews, March 2012

I started the review with the 1440s and was really impressed with their comfort and performance.

Both headphones are comfortable to wear over long periods of time; they assemble easily and they both sound great

The SRH1440s are among the more comfortable full-size headphones I've ever used.

The Shure SRH1440s may be a large, full-size set of headphones, but its lightweight design and gentle earpad pressure make for an extra comfortable fit that fits nicely with its audiophile-endorsed sound.

CNET, 28.06.2012

The sound leaking out of them is minimal--even with extreme (and dangerously) loud headphone volume levels.

This 37-ohm impedance and sensitivity measurement, I found caused them to require lower volume settings from my headphone amp than my other pro headphones. Higher efficiency means longer battery life if you use them with your iPhone/iPod or any other battery-operated music player.


Music Connection, 30.03.2012

The SRH1440 nails exactly what it's designed for: A precise, dynamic, comfortable pair of headphones suitable for pro applications or casual home listening.

Excellent audio performance. Ideal for mastering and critical listening scenarios. Very comfortable despite large frame. Comes with high quality detachable cables and replacement ear pads.

PCMag.com, 19.04.2012

The first thing that I noticed about the SRH1440s was their remarkable detail and balance. I’ve heard a lot of very good headphones, but there’s something special about these cans—you hear everything, and I mean everything, in a mix... even when you sort of wish you couldn’t.

Recording, April. 2012

I believe that the SRH1440 are exceptional headphones; they sound smooth and natural while giving prominence to the highs. If you desire headphones that push the highs forward, definitely give the SRH1440 an audition

Tape Op, 18.07.2012
