I checked and one of the stores nearby does carry both the 7510 and 7506, both being within my budget. Just wondering, do the 7510 or 7506 have cables that you can take off? I know both the 440's and the HM5 have detachable cables and that's a big plus. It's a really hard choice to pick between the HM5 and the 440's. For $30 less I could get the 440's, but at the same time, I kind of like the looks of the HM5 better, which isn't too big of a deal, but I would be using these outside of my home so looks would be kind of a plus. Looking at some videos of the HM5 on youtube the size doesn't seem like too big of a problem, unless those people's hands were huge.
The HM5's are very large--think Princess Leia or more.
The sound between the HM5 and the 440's is close. I would give a slight edge to the HM5, which also isolates better.
Comfort is the about the same (HM5 clamp and 440 so-so ear pad comfort), until you replace the ear pads of the 440 with 880 ear pads. Then the 440 wins.
The 440 folds up and is much better as a portable can.
If the Sony MDR 7510 & 7506 and KRK KNS 8400 & 6400 can be had in Canada within your budget, all four are all worth considering.
