Review: Best I've tried - I bought this on accident. I thought I was getting the 1540 closed back. I made a mistake and was going to return them, but then I plugged in just to see. I already have open back headphones in the Sennheiser HD660s that I love. I have to say these 1840's are the best I've heard. The 660s is close but no match in the end. I guess I'm keeping the 1840's. The sound is stunning and the high-end just a bit sweeter all-around. I will still get the 1540's but this 1840 is the keeper. I guess I have 2 open back headphones. I highly recommend the 660s too, but the extra $100 for the 1840's are worth it.
Review: These are my main headphones - These have been my main headphones for almost 2 years now. I moved from the 840s to these because I wanted open back headphones to save my ears. I was concerned about the bad reviews about the weird distortion that can happen, but I have never run into this issue. I don't know if it is the type of music I produce or if I just can't hear it? I am a singer-songwriter and have been diving into the home recording like so many folks over the last five years. I am happy with these. Though they do make me wish I had gotten them sooner since they help me uncover major mixing mistakes I made previously! I also find them to also be incredibly comfortable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best I've tried

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are my main headphones

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought these by accident, but they are objectively good headphones.
*by A***S on November 17, 2022*

For my setup I required something on the heavier side of bass and picked these up under misunderstood information and for what I needed it did not suit the bill. However, that being said. These are actually very well built headphones, you can tell that these will last a long time. If you're into music that demands clarity and treble then you will enjoy these headphones. They're open-back but are well insulated in that respect which is a unique combination that are not common with other headphones in this category. If you're looking for ABSOLUTE clarity with no muddle (almost to a fault, incredibly clear sound) then these are perfect. I will say though they are still a bit pricey for what they are but I assume it makes up for it with its excellent quality. You can see from other reviews that these will last a long time if they're kept in good condition and retaining the same quality of output; that cannot be said for other headphones that may sound very good but are not exactly ones that are "buy once, keep forever". The cons would have to be the proprietary cables and the weak bass. But I'm assuming those that are purchasing these are not necessarily looking for bass so that's just a personal nitpick. If you need bass then you will extremely disappointing. And if you're a bit hesitant to spend freely for sound then the value proposition is not so well either. Besides that these are great! Will return but that's just because it did not fit what I needed for my taste; no fault of the headphones themselves. It's as if I bought a van instead of a coupe, it could be a great van but I wanted a coupe, haha!
