I got the shure 840 first, too. But returned them, and I now have the HP100. I would say it kinda depends on how much you're prepared to modify, and if it’s even a problem for you. If I got the 840 I would definitely be modding the headband, and getting some velour pads for them. I don’t...

  My problem is, that I have a focusrite 2i2 which is nice and has output for monitors. But Now I'm getting a pair of sound magic HP100, which I hear need a little more power to drive well, and I'm afraid, that the focusrite can't deliver the needed power to drive them well. So now I'm thinking...
