Shure SRH840 vs Sennheiser HD380 PRO Help!

Hi. Which one is better? I've used the Shure SRH440 for a long time... but the comfort in my opinion is not that good... so naturally.. I'm worried about how comfortable the 840's might be. My music tastes include rock, and several electronica genres such as trance, house, dubstep, etc. I usually like my bass a little bit above normal, and I will be using a headphone amp with the cans (the Fiio E7 in particular). In a general comparison, which one would you choose, compared in build quality, comfortableness(some emphasis on this), sound quality, warmness of the sound, and bass ability?

Thx.

Heya,

 

You want Ultrasone HFI 580.

 

Not the 840 or 380Pro.

 

Very best,

Search?

 

It's a better headphone for trance, house, dub. It does more bass than the two you mentioned by a significant amount, it's got better sound stage, good detail, easy to drive, and hell, cheaper than the 380's even. It's just a better headphone for what you're asking for.

 

Very best,

1 more question. If I wanted a balanced headphone, which of the two would you pick?

Thx.
