Interesting.. the Shure 1840. Maybe it will be similar to the 840 but open in design? Hmm.

That would be wicked. As long as it's under $300.

Well the two last numbers of reference indicate size of driver, so we already know it will be 40 mm.
I don't know why shure keep the big 50 mm for the DJ headphone versions, which are not expensive.
Bigger drivers, means more bass, but if shure manage to make something balanced with this size that would be nice.
 

Thats interesting i never knew that.
 
 
Well this kind of sucks. When i bought my srh840 it was still the flagship. Now they have the srh940 so i just ordered those which means i will have the flagship but just now they release the srh1840 so now i will only get at most a few months of owning the flagship.
 
Shure why must u keep making better headphones every 12 months.

There's no guarantee that these are better than the 940s though. As their first open headphones this may even be their entry level one.

If there's one thing I'd like Shure to fix or rather change is that annoying 5-6 db spike in the lower treble region around 8-9 Khz.  It's the only thing that prevents me from loving my SHR840 and possibly a future purchase of the SRH940.  If the new model has a friendlier upper region then this could a must have for me personally.

Agree, i loved the 940 but the lower treble spile was way too much, even for me that i love Grados and Beyer headphones.

I solved the treble spike issue , by moving ear near the top of earcup.  That was more efficient than eq-ing, as I enjoy a better soundstage too.
I'll add that the reviewer from "tape op" magazine, also noticed that the headband position affects the sound.

Please look at this post:

Isn't there something about ear acoustics that makes proper neutrality need a boost there? There is a reason for it otherwise it wouldn't be there in all of shures models.

I ll like but unfortunately I don't believe at all. When I see the build quality of SRH940 which is very low (imo) for a MSRP of 300$, while the new model look much more polisched, I think it ll cost at least 500$, maybe more, but maybe you can correct me,lol.

$500 would be too much - considering Sennheiser, Denon, Beyerdynamic legends cost less than that.
 

 

[bcasey25raptor]

My guess is an msrp of $399.
 
Look at shures history
 
 
srh440 was msrp of $99
srh840 is msrp of $199
srh940 is msrp of $299
srh1840 is msrp of ______

Maybe, maybe not.
 
HD650 in USA has a msrp of 550$+
Denon D5000 more than 500$
Beyer DT series,yes, but not T.. series between 550-1300$
 
But as for you, less expensive it ll be, the better it ll be,lol.

Maybe it's just Shure's sound signature?
 
Sennheiser's is a darkish, warmish tone.
Grado's is a bright tappy tone.
Ety's is a flat-cold tone.
