My Headphones Collection in details

Not in this movie, my newest cans are the Shure SRH440, and they are, by far, the best!

I can't live without headphones!

For EXTREME (but unnatural) bass : Sony MDR-XB500 or MDR-XB700 / JVC HA-M5X / Radius Atomic Bass Earphones

For GOOD deep bass : Shure SRH750DJ / Denon AH-D1100 / Klipsch Image ONE / Bose AE2 / Monster Beats Studio

For VERY GOOD deep bass AND accurate sound : Shure SRH940 / Audio-Technica ATH-M50 / Denon AH-D2000 / Sennheiser HD 380 Pro / Monster Turbine Pro Gold or Pro Copper

@kloug2006 SRH840's are actually better for bass than the 940's. The 840's lean more toward bass, while the 940's lean more toward highs.

[kloug2006]

@drgnfrc13 I don't think the SRH840 are a reference for bass, because it's colored and a little bit "fat". I prefer the SRH440 on bass and overall sound over the SRH840. The SRH440 is simply better to my ears.

If the SRH940 has the sound signature of the SRH440, with more refinement, than it's a real reference headphone!

@kloug2006 I didn't say they were. Personally, if I was looking for bass, I would overlook Shure's line altogether and just get M50's by Audiotechnica; but when comparing the 840's to the 940's, regardless of overall sound quality, the 840's definitely have more bass emphesis (which may be a good thing or a bad thing, just depending on the user's personal taste).

[kloug2006]

@drgnfrc13 OK, you made a good point : SRH840 are more bassy than the SRH940 (and the SRH440). I agree with you. But for me, "better" bass doesn't mean more bass quantity. It means more accurate and natural bass. For example, the Grado SR60i has just the perfect amount of bass for me.

I owned Shure SRH840 and SRH750DJ and they both have too much bass "warmth" for my personal taste. The lower priced SRH440 have a better bass accuracy to my ears. This is what I like the most, accuracy.

[kloug2006]

@drgnfrc13 By the way, what type of sound signature you prefer in headphones? What headphones do you own and wich do you prefer the most?

[drgnfrc13]

@kloug2006 I know that's sort of a long explanation, but basically, I chose the 840's based on their versatility in different uses due to their relatively flat frequency response, detailed sound with nice instrument separation, and emphesized bass. As far as 840's vs. 940's vs. 440's, I think it depends entirely on what their intended use is and/or whether the user wants more bass, slightly more clarity, or more neutrality, respectively.

@kloug2006 my electric piano. (piano sounds awful if the sound is too forward, but for other purposes, like listening to electronic music with, let's say ATH M50's, it can be great)

[drgnfrc13]

@kloug2006 any specific frequency range for another. For example, Sony's XB series is great for bass, but the mids and highs are awful, even compared to $10 Skullcandy in-ears. But if you take headphones like the SRH750-DJ's, they have great bass as well, but the rest of their sound is still balanced, and I appreciate that . And the same goes for forward vs. laid back sound. In this case, my main reason for choosing a more laid back headphone was because I often use them to play

[drgnfrc13]

@kloug2006 Right now, I just have my 840's, as they are the only phones I've found that perfectly fit my needs. I have used all sorts of different models in the $70-400 price range (Sony's, Beats, Denons, Shures, AT's, Bose, etc.), the worst imo being a close tie between Sony's XB500's Beats solos, and the best imo being the srh840's. As for sound signature, I don't really stick by any specific type. I like equipment that is good at what it does, as long as it doesn't sacrifice

[drgnfrc13]

@BornInDarknessToDie There is no such thing as a "good" Skullcandy earbud. Even their "high-end" headphones are overpriced crap that just falls apart from regular use. If you want earphones that are actually worth buying, check out Shure's SE series or the Monster Turbine earphones (both are uncomparable to Skullcandy garbage).
