I had the 840 which aren't that different from the 440. The Shures offer good isolation. Sound wise, they are balanced for closed headphones and manage to do well with a fair few genres. The sound stage is good for a closed phone but. .. . it's closed and many open phones beat them.

Srh440 sound pretty good even without an amp (directly through iPhone). My only personal drawback on them is that they were somewhat uncomfortable for me - like clamping on my head somewhat.

The HD448 are awesome though. I do not own them, I have only auditioned them, and they were extremely comfortable and for the price sounded pretty good (especially for closed). Probably good for portable use.

HD595 imo is good for airy music like Classical or stuff from Evanescence. As well as gaming. I won't say its good for movies cause I need the lower end for the type of movies I enjoy (brainless violence).

I have decided to upgrade to the HD448's cause I listen to mostly portable players and lil bit at home I have the 438's and would like the lifelike audio they seem to be boasting about plus they look better I think they have a better soundstage the 438's seem to have a very punchy quality that shocks and hurts my ears when I want to listen to loud music and thats why I want to upgrade to get the best sound outta the series but heard that all of them concern differant types of music like the 438's are geared toward bass so rock and r&b which I listened to mostly and 448's are marked towards classical and other more warm genres but I don't really believe they are geared toward it but reccomend it I don't know about the 428's but who cares about them lol anyways anyone have any comments or insight about this and think I should just stay with my 438;s go ahead I'll be reading up more upon the subject and see if I can make a good review later Much much later .

I just meant that out of iTunes equalizer settings, or out of a receiver with bass and treble adjustments I can adjust these phones for nice sound. Listening to music with them with out these adjustments doesn't do it for me.

I will be trying one more thing before I let go of the 438's I haven't really burned them in so I will be looking for a pink noise track to continuously play til i get to 90-100 hours of burn in and see if there is any drastic changes that would make me keep these.
