Thx for the mod. Will try to do it this weekend, and will post the impression for it! This is certainly interesting. Other than the bass, is there anything changed from the headphone performance (however minute)? I found it weird that they put foam there for no apparent reason. Anybody know...

If money is not a problem, how is 840 performance compared to 440 unamped? In term of highs, mids, base and comfort. Let say the audio source is the most common one there is, an ipod or a laptop.

Found one! This is for ath-m50. might be useful so I thought I'll post it here

I'm just curious. Can anybody take a photo of m50, 440, 840 side by side or worn on the head, or at least the dimension of it (height and length). I never really compare them on size side by side. I know I feel that 840 is very big. and m50 is the smallest one. Google doesnt come out with any result

Thx for the helpful reply! I'm still really torn between all of the choices, but kinda leaning toward srh840. Seems like the general consensus is that 840 shine more than m50 in all field except the bass (without amp). To: mythless Yeah I would like to have a closed phone instead of an open...

Long time reader (1 year +) first time poster. I did quite a lot of research on this subject but I came out with no clear answer. People says srh840 blow m50 and 440 out of the water. Some people says that if you are not using any amp 440 is the more logical choice. However alot of reviews...
