You can tune the M50 bass w/ tape and bring out the mids. I have heard the Shure 840 treble can get a bit harsh and/or sibilant. I have no tolerance for that so I crossed them off my list. You seem more detail and analytical in your signature preference, the M50's are a more engaging type of fun phone, you sort of set it and forget it. If you want to find detail you can in the M50 but it doesn't throw it our at you. Try the 750DJ or the Sennheiser HD25's if you can find them cheap. Perhaps Ultrasone 780's. S-Logic plus sounds like it has your name written on it.
I was quite swayed by you. one thing I worry about M50 is the soundstage. i know nothing extraordinary could be expected from closed cans, but I do want soundstage to be as good as possible. What do you mean exactly by "engaging" and "fun"? from my insufficient experience, i found myself really thrilled by new details I can perceive. that's why i emphasize this much. Thanks!
