I wanted to wait until I finished my review of the 1440 before I made any comments about the differences between the models but Beagle has pretty much guessed the difference between the 1440 and 1840. The 1840 is more like a traditional open headphone. The good news is the 1840 is in a similar price range as HP's like the HD650 but delivers performance more on par with HP's like the T1.
But I do think the SRH-1440 has managed to bridge the gap between the 940 and 1840 sonically speaking offering the best aspects of both. I am not sure if they will catch on or not but personally I think they may my preferred headphone except when I need or want isolation. Who knows, if they don't catch on right away maybe their price will drop closer to the 940 which will definitely give more people a reason to try them out.
Expect the 1440 review by sometime midweek...
