Ian, thanks for the offer. It's actually cheaper shipping back and forth with Amazon. They ship to me free 2 Day and I when I ship back they give you pretty deep discount on shipping. Might cost $8.00 for the entire trip to try a pair.

Any way, I went back onto read more on what I ordered, big mistake, maybe. After reading ONE comment on the Shure 1840, I got cold feet and canceled. He basically said they are very Flat, intended for professional use and for casual listening you may not like them.

So I went back digging again and bought a pair of BeyerDynamic T1 2nd Generation

beyerdynamic T1 2nd Generation

I found them on Amazon Prime (Used) for close to half list price. These normally would have been way out of my price range (list price 2.5x of the 1840's).

They are considered Semi-Open, which might help make them work in the office. They are not too heavy. Not too crazy looking. They have high impedance but sensitivity is good. Lot of folks think they are as good or better than HD800.

Have to be careful with weight in that some times they include the weight of a 3 meter cord, and sometimes not. Which could weigh a lot compared to the headphones.

I've been referencing this insane review that someone did on 58 high end headphones.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
