Whats your guy's thoughts? Which one is better?  Personally or factualy.? Im deciding which one.

 

[NapalmK]

Depends. I've tried both. For gaming and movies the DT770s hands down. I found the DT770s bass to be too boomy for my liking which didn't fit well with the music I listen to. The mids are also very recessed. For music I'd pick the 840s. They weren't quite my style but they were pretty good. Fairly neutral response but I didn't find them too exciting. They weren't terribly comfortable for me so the DT770s win that department. Of course it all comes down to personal preference so if you can find a place that has the 840s to compare to your DT770s. Guitar center is usually a good bet as I believe they have the 840s, DT770s, and a few other cans worth mentioning. Hope this helps.

ok i like the light weight style of 840s. i have teh beyers already

 

[Mr Joboto]

Yeah, the Shures are way better for music.

 

[swbf2cheater]

definitely, the shure 840s are, at least IMO much nicer for music and they fail terribly at gaming and anything requiring a stage.
 
the 770s are bigger sounding, allowing for a better for accurate FPS experience, not really great but at least better than the 840. 

 

[MrJohnny]

Oh so the sures have no good. SOund stage?

 

[moodyrn]

They have a good sound stage to be a closed can, but not great and not bad. The dt770s sound stage seem larger because of the recessed mids. I agree with others they would be better for gaming, but the balance is way of for music IMO.

good? its good, but not good enough to game in a first person shooter where you need to pinpoint sounds, not even close.  I used the 840s to game with for a while, it was hard and i died a lot because i couldnt find where the sounds were coming from

 

[MrJohnny]

In my opinion, Yes. Depends on what you're looking for though. Do you like a lot of bass? A fun type sound sig or do you prefer a more balanced sound?

The better comparison should be the DT770/600 and the SRH840s.
 
I've owned both and much preferred the DT770/600s.
 
Don't bother with the 32/80/250 ohm versions. They are not as good and not very balanced. Just my two cents...
