Any sound preferences, any opinions on comfort, isolation, where/when/how you'll be using them, the music you listen to? Have you read here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/433318/shootout-104-portable-headphones-reviewed-klipsch-image-one-added-10-02-12i

 

I had the SRH840s, very clear sound, good tonality. The KRKs are mighty impressive sounding as well. Didn't like the TMA-1s, way too dark. You might like them though.

Rap, and rock, are either of the KRK's or the 840's better than m50's?

"Better" is pretty subjective. My 840s rolled off a bit both ways, but clarity was good and I liked the tonality more than the M50s. KRKs were just impressive through and through.

 

Another thread on this that might help: http://www.head-fi.org/t/590906/krk-kns-8400-vs-sure-srh840-vs-audio-technica-m50s

 

Also tons of comparisons on the big 8400 thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/570501/the-krk-kns-8400-you-can-have-it-all

the TMA 1 is absolutely horrible, no idea why its not burned here
anyway how much bass do you want? do you like gentle bass, whack you bass or through the roof bass?

well i havn't heared the KRK's before but i know that the Shures have about right bass, not powerful, but not weak either, their detail is good too, their signature is on the bright side with prominent treble, i think these will do pretty well with rock, rap im not sure shure about that lol, well i suppose it should be pretty good too
