How would the shure srh440 work out of my mp3 player and unamped?

how do these compare to the sennheiser closed headphones? Hd280, hd380, hd28 sp1?

I'm looking for some good nice closed headphones, with good sound and isolation. I need some suggestions/experiences please?? I'm currently looking at these headphones: Sennheiser hd 280, hd 380 hd 25 sp 1 Shure srh440, srh840?? Beyerdynamic dt770? Heard mixed opinions on these...

Aardvarks, do you know anything about the hd 380? I'm also looking for closed headphones, and was considering the hd 280 pro, but I read that the sound was not as lively with them? I don't care much about bass, i prefer more warm and real sound, any input would be appreciated!

I'm new to all this and am looking for a pair of closed headphones, with preferrably a lot of isolation from the outside. I like to listen to rap, hip-hop, soul,j-pop and prefer more natural warmer sound over too much bass. I was looking at the sennheiser hd280 pro but from what I read...

So how exactly is the isolation on the shure srh440?? Compared to other closed headphones at this price range?
