Shure SRH1840 SRH1440 Replacement Ear Pads — Black Suede

About this pair

Worn Shure SRH1840 SRH1440 replacement ear pads flatten the nap, shine at the cheek, and start to sit on the pinna during a mix-room session. This listing is the black suede pair named for those two open-back studio headphones and, in the same three-model list, the closed-back SRH940. The surface is a napped suede face, not a sealed leather skin. Order these when you want the studio-style feel back without guessing a generic oval cushion.

Black suede ear pads for Shure SRH1840 SRH1440

The face is a black suede nap cushion — a suede-nap studio pad with a short, brushed pile. On an open-back cup that pile reads as a warmer, breathable suede monitoring contact than a wipe-clean leather sibling. The row names this SKU as black suede and the neighboring leather-look pair as; do not treat them as the same surface. Aftermarket velour-like pair language in the source is about that nap, not an official Shure velour part number.

These are studio headphone ear pads and monitoring ear pads meant for long sits at the desk. Mix-room long-session pads live or die on whether the face stays dry and the cup still clears the ear. Suede does not claim a measured isolation spec here. What the listing does claim is a studio-style feel and a napped surface you maintain with a dry brush, not a soak.

SRH1840 SRH1440 SRH940 fit

Compatibility is written on the name: ear pads compatible with SRH1840, SRH1440, SRH940. That SRH1840 SRH1440 SRH940 fit is the whole list. Do not assume SRH440 or SRH840 without comparing the worn pad to this pair. Stretch-on Shure ring geometry is how the source describes install — pull the tired cushion off the cup ring and stretch the new one on. No glue step is listed. No millimeter drawing is listed, so none is invented here.

• Named models: SRH1840, SRH1440, and SRH940 only.
• Install: stretch-on Shure ring, matching pair for both cups.
• Surface: black suede nap; sibling is the leather-look face on the same three models.
• Pack: ships as a matching pair. Official Shure part numbers are not given.

Open-back suede feel versus the leather sibling

If you mix on the open-back SRH1840 or SRH1440, the open-back suede feel is the reason to pick this pair over the leather-look spare. Suede is napped and usually warmer-sounding in feel — that is a tactile note from the FAQ, not a measured frequency-response claim. Breathable suede monitoring is the use case: long tracking or edit days when a sealed face starts to itch. The leather sibling stays available if you want a wipe-clean skin instead.

Aftermarket ear pads for Shure SRH1840 SRH1440 means these are not sold as OEM Shure velour pads. The FAQ is explicit: official Shure part numbers are not given. Buy them as a studio spare kit when the stock nap is matted, stained, or split at the stretch-on ring.

How to replace ear pads on Shure SRH1840 SRH1440

Work one cup at a time. Ease the old cushion off the ring so you do not crack a tired plastic lip. Align the new black suede ear pads for Shure SRH1840 SRH1440 so the napped face sits toward the ear and the stretch-on channel meets the cup. Roll the rim over the ring until it seats all the way around. Repeat on the second cup so the pair stays matched. If the worn pad does not share that ring, stop — this listing does not claim SRH440 or SRH840.

Care, hygiene, and what ships

Napped surface hygiene is dry-first. Brush dry debris. Spot-clean lightly. Soaking suede can stain and flatten the nap; no wash rating is listed. That is the whole care story in the source. Treat the pair as a consumable studio spare, not a washable cover.

Ships as a matching pair — both cups. Headphones are not in the box. If you came here on a Shure SRH1840 SRH1440 ear pads price search, the live USD price is on this page with shipping across the US. If you need the leather-look face on the same three models, that is the sibling, not this suede listing.
