Yeah, I re-watched that video presentation and looked over the "coming-soon" stuff on their website just after my last post. Like another poster in this thread, something over $500 will likely be out of reach for me. I'm a lot more interested in this headphone if it's around $500. I knew that...

From what I have seen so far, I'd say they were designed to compete more along the lines of the hd600/650, k701, and dt880pro. I would like to see the srh1440 at something like 349 and srh1840 at 399 or 449. Heck, maybe they're open-backed alternatives to their similarly model numbered...

According to the specs on post #1 it is the srh1440 that weighs 343g. The srh1840 weighs 268g. 268g is almost right in between the srh750dj and srh840 weights according to the specs on shure's website.  In my experience, 268g seems like a good weight for a full size headphone. Heavy enough to...

I have the Yamahas. I believe they are based on the audio technica ath ep700. I've seen pics of the ep700 driver and they look very similar, if not identical. Their earpads look similar too. I have not directly compared the two headphones. The main differences appear to be the driver housing...

   

Nice waterfall plots. Those plots would better explain what I'm hearing from the HD25 than a straight FR graph. I'm having a look through that thread. Nice work, I subscribed.

Yes, I still have the HD25s. They were my second head-fi related purchase. I've had them since July 2008. I don't think I'll ever part with them and I still use them regularly. They're very useful and are a good reference point to have around when comparing headphones.

My ears never agreed with headroom's hd25 graph. I have the the srh750djs and the hd25s too and I find that the hd25s can be more prone to sibilance than the srh750djs. When I find there is sibilance problem through the hd25s, lowering the volume usually solves it. After lowering the volume the...

I'm definitely interested. I listen to a wide variety of genres. Almost everything. I have the head-fi open your ears tracks for testing. I know my way around a camera too. For portable sources I use either a touch 4g, fuze or clip+ as sources. My portable headphone/earphone collection includes...

Quote: Yes the headband itself is very similar to the 750dj, which I stated earlier is a bummer. I think its kind of unfortunate that shure is commited to this headband design. I wouldn't consider any of the shure headphones I've tried extremely comfortable. For me, they're not...

I've had these for about a month now and I think it's safe to say that they have been burned in. I'm really liking these headphones. Here's a frequency graph I found:     This graph and the graphs they have for some of my other headphones match my observations pretty closely. I've been...

@LizardKing1, Thanks for the heads up. However, I'm pretty sure there's no way for these pads to be like new. They've been due for a change for awhile now. I'll remember your tip once I get replacements though. Thanks again.    

I updated my original post with pics. Quote: Right now I would say that there is slightly less bass than the 750dj and it is more on the deep/soft/slow/rumbling side. Not punchy or fast like how the hd25 is. The parts of the frequency spectrum that are standing out are actually the...

Thought I'd start a thread for these.   I have them now and impressions are pretty good so far. Seems like they're built well. They don't make creaky noises when adjusting them like the SRH750DJ. They still have the flat top/square head syndrome though, so that's kind of a bummer. The ear...
