I have no experience with the dt 440. What are the differences to the srh 440 soundwise ?

$60 difference
One is for rock, the other in neutral
 
If you arrived at the two you wanted to get, but have no idea which one you want, then you didn't do enough research
 
Just tell us what's your price range
The music you listen to of what you like to use them for
and any sources or components you own. (Ipods, mp3, Amp/DAC)

1.  Which have more bass? 
2.  Are the Shure 440 brighter in sound than the beyer`s?
3.  I red that the Shures are very strident. 
I havent found any comparison on the net.
Money isnt the problem!
4. i want to use them on my pc (onboard sound but powerful)
 
I listen to everything in music. I need some Allround-cans

DT 440 all the way, but its open back and the Shure is closed

Shure 940 then
 
Beyer are mostly for Rock and won't have enough bass or thinner highs for classical music

I just got a pair of the Shure's, and have really enjoyed how they sound.  I have not heard the Dt's.  The only thing I have to say about the Shure's is that switching from the stock pads to SRH840 pads made a huge jump in comfort for me.  Worth the $20.00.  I also find that the headband is not padded enough for me.  I am experimenting right now with adding some padding to the headband. I think it will be an easy mod to make them fit my head better.  
 
Music wise they have been awesome.  They isolate really well.  I work in a big office, and need to be able to shut people out.  The only thing I can hear when I am wearing them is my phone ringing, and that only barely.  I can not hear my coworkers.  I listen to just about everything.  Lots of Jazz and Rock, some classical.  They have been very enjoyable.
