Know before you buy
No, these cushions are specifically engineered for the Shure SRH1840 professional open-back headphones. They are not designed to fit other models in the Shure lineup.
Yes, using genuine Shure replacement cushions helps maintain the original acoustic seal and sound profile of your SRH1840 headphones. Worn-out pads can degrade sound quality, so replacing them restores the intended performance.
Each package contains a pair of ear cushions, providing enough to replace both the left and right sides of your headphones.
The high-density, slow-recovery foam conforms to the shape of your head over time, which helps distribute pressure more evenly. This design is specifically intended to reduce fatigue during long listening sessions.
You should consider replacing your cushions if you notice the velour fabric fraying, the foam losing its shape or 'bounce,' or if the headphones no longer feel secure and comfortable on your ears.
