The headphone world is brimming with activity, with new product releases happening almost daily nowadays. That barrage of headphone releases is filtered by Head-Fi'ers, with only one in many being of real interest to diehard headphone audiophiles. Here's one that'll make it through even the most stringent Head-Fi'er filters: Today, in Japan, Shure introduced two new
open-back headphones:
- The Shure SRH1440
- The Shure SRH1840

I've had a Shure SRH1840 prototype here this past spring, and received a production version of it last week. It is a
very impressive headphone, and I'll say more about it later. (It's the middle of the night here right now.)
I haven't heard the Shure SRH1440 yet, but I expect a production version of it to arrive next week.
If I understand correctly, final pricing is still to be determined.
Here are a few more photos we took, with more photos and impressions to be posted later.
