DT531 is IMO rather rough around the edges and sibilant.
Don't know about the DT440.

More or less forgiving are AKG K240 Sextett, M-Audio Studiophile Q40, Sony MDR-XB700, BeyerDynamic DT 150, Sennheiser HD 580/ 600, Philips SBC HP830, AKG K271.


Are you sure you dont mean the DT831 is sibilant?
I'm considering the K240 at the moment...

I'd go with the AKG k240M. It is a good phone. It takes some amp power, but I think it's the best phone choice over a wide material. I can't say exactly if it's that it isn't revealing or it just keeps you focused on the music, but I think they're a good match to your description and they can be had inexpensively.

I never heard the DT831, but I owned the DT531. I returned them within a week because of their sharp and sibilant nature. They still can be bought new in the Netherlands.

Somebody mentioned the DT770 in this thread. Beware, the DT770 2005 consumer edition is a very bright AND revealing headphone. You really don't want them with bad recordings. I know I didn't.
