Ok, after my initial listen and concern about the mids being more neutral than I like (I really do like the SRH-940) I have started to take a shine to the SRH-1840. I just like how Shure does treble and with the added bass these give they really do sound like a high end open headphone to me. Much better than any of the other open headphones I have owned. I will start my review in earnest tomorrow and continue into next week.
 
Just out of curiosity would any be interested in a Shure everything thread? I am thinking to start up a thread with my current review of the SRH-940 plus my review of the SRH-1840. Then add reviews of other Shure headphones if I am lucky enough to get my hands on some of them to review. Then I will add a post that discusses the differences in each model from a signature perspective so people will have an easy way to compare them sonically. This section may be part discussion and part graph to give people an easy way to see and compare the differences. The if any one else wants to add their experience with different models to the thread they can along with reviews.
 
I know this thread and a others accomplish something similar to what I am suggesting but I don't think we have one thread that simplifies this breakdown and organizes it in such a way that pople can gather this information simply by going to the first few initial posts.

I actually don't think the 1840 have more bass than the 940 (if you get a proper seal). The former's just warmer.

^ Is the one of the left the SRH1840?

 

[ardilla]

I assume so. Stole the picture from Headfonia's fb stream, probably there will be a review coming up from Indonesia soon

yeah id believe it would be the 1840 also. Besides its so open compared to the 1440.

 

[TheWuss]

knowing how totally backwards my opinions have been of late, i can just picture headfonia giving these a "meh" review. 

 
but, i don't care.
i just got my second pair from amazon.
one for work.  one for home.
 
won't have to be without the SRH1840.
 
today, the T1, HD650, LCD-2, D7000 and K340 all went on the chopping block.
 
all because the SRH1840 is just plain better.

I'm considering canceling my order after looking at those pics. Looks like $50 headphone parts.

Seems the srh1440 is crippled on purpose, with limited overture.

How exactly do you determine a driver's worth by looking at one small picture?

 

[john57]

I was not excepting to see that much of a difference between the driver units. Much more than the Sennheiser drivers. It looks like that Shure spend quite of time designing the drivers in the way they see fit.

Not really, just a different focus. The 1840 driver "looks" like it would have a bit of laid back upper midrange while the 1440 upper midrange would be more focused and a bit prominent.

The plastic.
 

 

[john57]

The Plastic looks cheap? The same amount of plastic that I see in front of many headphones. I have not see the rear picture.

 

[TheWuss]

come to think of it, i can hear the plastic every time i listen.
very plasticky sound.

So you've figured out what kind of plastic it is as well its acoustic impact or do you just think that plastic is "cheap".
