Thank you for your interest to help :-)   Those headphones (momentum,UE 6000,M4U1) are very interesting and it will be nice if I have the oportunity to try them sometime.   There are so many closed over ear portable out there and I guess it will be a bit difficult to find a good combination...

Thank you for your suggestions.   Which of my requirements on the 1st post do you think are not covered from sennheiser momentum,UE 6000 and PSB M4U1?   I'm afraid that momentum will not be comfortable for my ears (6,5 cm although don't stick out that much) from what I read.I will surely try...

Some more overrated and underrated cans in my opinion.     Underrated : KRK KNS 6400 .  Good and neutral sounding closed circumaural headphone.It's well balanced from lows to highs.Good and natural midrange for the price.Highs are clear,maybe slightly grainy,but not harsh.Lows are...

So many say Sony ma900 is underated.   Can someone please explain in few sentences why that? Can someone describe in a few words their sound signature?

Yeah,make one contest for europe too :-)

Any opinions,what models should I look for?

Overrated :  Sony MDR 1R. It's a good headphone,but not so good for it's price.The sound should be better for nearly 200 euro I paid for them. When comparing with a good classic headphone,like the hd600,the sony sound clearly inferior,and it's obvious that you are listening a closed can.It has a...

An interesting new on ear model from Musical Fidelity.   http://www.musicalfidelity.com/mf-100

Hi   I currently own two closed over ear cans:shure srh840,sony mdr 1r.   I want to upgrade to something better.   Shure srh840 has good sound overall (with few downsides),but is big and funny on the head.I have them 4 years now and the build quality is fine,headphone and pads are in good...

It's too expensive.Too bad companies don't offer improved models to their classics like sennheiser hd600/650,akg k701 etc at a same price.

Hey AKG I want one for free please,for finding the model first here :-D

And this one too if you google akg k812 https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CD8QFjAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fes-es.facebook.com%2Fmondodr%2Fposts%2F10151854249650605&ei=-fxCUuekBcjHtQbyxICYCw&usg=AFQjCNEniA3ZvvVkqQezlg-tfeQ_vcHzZg   So Nomax told it would be...

I googled K812 and found this:   https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lydrommet.dk%2Fsitefiles%2F1%2FDANMARK%2FBilder_nyheter%2Fakg-invitation_v2.pdf&ei=b_tCUuHJGoidtQaqxIHwAQ&usg=AFQjCNF8LpBcdlUVvetZQILdBLDGgskonA

  These were my thoughts too,until I bought sony MDR 1R which is midrange oriented,and I found that it's better at low volumes due to the emphasized mids. At first I thought that bass heavy and treble heavy headphones were annoying at higher volumes,but headphones with pronounced midrange can...

What headphones were uncomfortable for you?

I believe that comfort when using headphones depends to each person's head size/shape,ear size shape etc.   For example,I see too many comments about the "supreme" comfort of the Sony MDR 1R. I have the Sony's and I also own the shure srh840.It may sound strange,but I find the shures to be...

A bit off topic but how did you break your shures?Can you also post a picture of your broken headphones? I would like to see how did this happen because I also own a pair and I like it quite a bit...I would like to avoid breaking them

Haven't read all the previous posts,sorry.   But here is one thing that came to my mind,when I was holding my hd 600 few days ago...These headphones were the best of this company many years back...(ok forget orpheus).Now to get their best headphones you need to spend 3 times that price.Does...

I own the srh840,and I've tried the krk8400 once,with my own player and music.(ipod nano 5g which I also use with the shures)   To be honest,I didn't like the sound of the krk's 8400 that much,because at the lower mids to bass the tonality was weird,and it sounded unatural and colored...

Quote: In my opinion Sony should work on the 1R and realese another headphone that will have a neutral/reference frequensy responce without needing mods to sound better,more carefully designed to be a bit more comfortable,because while comfy enough,it's not the last word in comfort due to...

Quote: Strange,the 840's have a bit full sound at lower frequensies-especially upperbass is emphasized,making the sound a bit heavy there (although I reduced that by rotating earpads to a different angle).That said,I find the 840 a bit bass heavy though not by much.Maybe you didn't put them...

I think you'll not have comfort problem then.   Their midrange in general sound a bit weird,not so flat/natural,and the lower mids/upperbass is also a bit emphasized.But it's slight midbass emphasis is not the problem in my opinion.The problem for me is the midrange,I'm not 100% sure which...

They are good for home use,although after several months of use I came to the conclusion that they are overpriced and you can get something better with less money.   But if you like the slightly colored sound signature which is better to listen at moderate volumes,and your ears don't stick...

Quote:   As I stated in my previous post,I have found a way to reduce this bass emphasis a bit.   If someone finds the srh 840 a bit bass heavy,try rotating the earpads to a more forward position relative to the vertical axis.(at stock position the pads look a bit back,try rotate them...

Shure SRH840 is my favorite closed back headphone. I also have the Sony MDR 1R ,and for me the SRH840 is the overall better headphone. The sound quality is indeed very nice,with a good balance.They are not so neutral,the upperbass is a bit emphasized,making the sound a bit heavy sometimes...
