I purchased my SRH1840's in early 2019, so they're they're a little over six years old now. I keep them in a nice little box in a climate controlled environment. I don't use them everyday, they are reserved for final mixing and mastering. I was really disappointed when I started pulling little flakes of head band padding out of my hair recently. The headband padding is completely falling apart. After doing a quick search, it appears to be a known problem with the SRH1840's. They perform fantastic, and are very comfortable, but the material quality for price paid is pretty lame.

Great for Work and Play

I've worn the Shure SRH1840s for years—80+ hours a week—and they're still the most comfortable headphones I own. Lightweight with clear, natural sound, they're great for meetings, music, and gaming. The open back makes in-office use super easy—no need to constantly take them off to talk.

Perfect for work and play

Here's a polished version that fits within the 300-character limit: I've worn these ~80 hrs/week for years—work, gaming, music. Still flawless. Incredible clarity, comfort, and immersion. Lightweight, breathable, and perfect for office use. I can even hold conversations with them on. Truly versatile and worth every penny.

Super happy with my purchase

I bought these for two main reasons weight and the open back which allows me to wear them for hours without feeling like something is weighing down / squeezing my head or like my ears are overheating. I'm not an audiophile or have other equipment to compare them to, but I'm really enjoying the sound quality of the headphones and imagine they'd sound even better if I invested into an amplifier. #sweepstakes

Hard to beat In its price range, these are the best of the $600 and below. Great clarity and awesome soundstage. The sound is neutral. Highs, Mids and Lows are balanced, the bass is there, it just doesn't slam with impact, as mixing headphones should not anyway. The separation and detail of instruments are phenominal. They even have the edge over Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro, the 1990 only beats it in bass impact. Hifiman Sundara slightly beats it in separation of instruments. My overall pick is the 1840, the comfortable level is great, light as a feather to almost any headphone, no clamping here. If price is an issue, Hifiman Sundara is the best way to go. Of course any of the headphones and 1840 cannot compete with my newly purchased Hedd Heddphone. Overall I am satisfied.
