Open-back headphones for critical listening
The Shure SRH1840-BK was developed for audiophiles, musicians, producers and sound engineers looking for open-back headphones with faithful sound reproduction. Its open, circumaural design gives you a spacious and natural listening experience, with a wide stereo image and precise instrument placement.
The individually matched 40 mm neodymium drivers deliver high resolution, plenty of detail and accurate bass response. Its sound character is often described as neutral to slightly bright, which makes these Shure headphones a strong choice for mixing, mastering and other critical listening work.
Comfort and build of the Shure SRH1840-BK
During long sessions, the lightweight design with aluminum yokes, stainless steel grilles, velour ear pads and an adjustable headband makes a clear difference. That keeps the SRH1840-BK comfortable for studio and home use.
The detachable MMCX cables make replacement easy. You also get a second cable, extra ear pads, a 6.3 mm adapter and a hard carrying case, useful when moving the headphones between your studio and home setup.
Suited to studio and home use
These open-back headphones are especially well suited to mixing, mastering, critical listening, studio work, home use and audiophile music playback. Because of the open design, they are less suitable in noisy environments or during recording sessions where bleed into a microphone needs to be avoided.
If you want personal advice on headphones for your studio setup or listening space, Magna Music can help with staff who work with music and audio themselves.
