Reviews around music (5.00 of 5)

  • After several weeks of extensive use, I remain impressed with their ability to reproduce music naturally and warmly
  • With this type of popular music they appear to be laboring somewhat to reproduce it effectively
  • I tend to listen to my music quieter than most and in this
  • In sum, if you love music, are considering these headphones and are questioning whether the price is worth it, all I can say is, YES
  • At times, I was too busy regretting how I had ripped some of my CD's, instead of enjoying the actual music

Reviews around clarity (5.00 of 5)

  • The Shure also has an expanded, diffuse character to the sound in contrast to the Oppo's sharp clarity (but smaller soundstage) and V-shape sonic signature
  • These headphones are all about presenting outstanding overall clarity and balance which they absolutely do provide

Reviews around shures (5.00 of 5)

  • Not as clear as these Shures
  • On several songs I preferred the Shures from a sonic standpoint and on EVERY song I preferred them from a comfort standpoint
  • When considering sound quality, comfort, and value for money, these Shures are unbeatable

Reviews around srh1840 (5.00 of 5)

  • One thing that bother me is that the SRH1840's were not as comfortable as the HD600's
  • The K712 pro sounded nearly as good as the SRH1840 to me
  • The Yggdrasil only made me love the SRH1840, Se846, and SE535 model more.

Reviews around pad (5.00 of 5)

  • The box included: earpads, cables, headphones, and a huge well padded case.
  • They come with a very nice case, spare pads and a spare cable set.
  • Foam padded hard shell case which protects the headphone in transport
  • The headband doesn't pinch, and the generous padding brilliantly distributes pressure

Reviews around quality (4.33 of 5)

  • The sound quality of the SRH1840 headphones is superb regardless of music genre
  • If your looking fo a lot if base this is not the kind you will like to get but its a good rich clear quality sound
  • The pictures do not do this headphone justice, it screams quality, durability and elegance
  • It is hard to explain the immediacy of the music and the clean quality of the sound
  • While the sound output of the devices of course varies considerably, the quality of each was vastly improved with these headphones.

Reviews around phone (4.26 of 5)

  • The phones don’t require a “burn in.”
  • These are very comfortable phones; light weight; roomy earcups; low clamping pressure
  • And don't buy either of these phones for listening via a smart phone or a laptop's 3.5mm headphone port as you will probably be disappointed with the results
  • These phones are easy to drive but deserve to be driven by first rate upstream components
  • If you want a superb design, comfort and sound, I can recommend they phones without reservation.

Reviews around balance (4.16 of 5)

  • All around, an amazing set of headphones, with a wonderful well balanced sound.
  • The original strong points of excellent timbre accuracy and even balance of all frequencies are even better now with the mod
  • They are very well balanced, offer great but not excessive amount of detail and space.
  • What immediately struck me was the sound balance.
  • Excellent balance of frequencies (bass, midrange and treble)
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for balance

Reviews around shure (4.03 of 5)

  • The Shure was broken in about 80
  • In summary, the Shure is elegant in design and operation- a musical delight
  • Right off the bat, the Shure is much more efficient and therefore easier to drive than the AKG.
  • It's classic Shure in being totally flat across the spectrum
  • Shure is the premier name in headphones and these babies don't disappoint.

Reviews around pair (3.86 of 5)

  • These Shure SRH1840 Open Back Headphones are by far the best pair that I have for listening to music at home
  • But I would have liked a shorter cable for use with Portable DAPsOverall a great pair of headphones
  • I'm saying all this to say that nuance and transparency is the key to a great pair of headphones
  • Personally I feel that comfort is HUGE when assessing a pair of headphones because listening to headphones is all about having a pleasurable experience and if a pair of headphones is uncomfortable to wear I am not going to have a good time
