So I have had my Shure SRH440s for about 3 or 4 years now, and I was wondering what a good pair of headphones would be for as an upgrade, if I mainly use them to listen to electronic and Indian music, along with some metal and rap mixed in. Also, I wouldn't be using these headphones with an amp, and as far as my personal preferences go, I found the SRH440s to sound very good, but to be weak in the bass department, especially for the electronic and metal music where there was a lot going on at the same time. When listening to rap music, or some Indian music, I found the bass to be quite alright, as there were only a few instruments, and the headphones could "focus" more on the bass. I was thinking that I would want to stick with closed headphones or semi-opens since I mostly use headphones in the car, on a plane, or when it is late and I can't use my speakers, although I am still open to the idea of having an open headphone if they are significantly better. Oh, one last thing, I found the headband on these to be very uncomfortable, and had to take them off after about 30-40 minutes, although that time has been extended to a little over an hour now, so I am really hoping for a very comfy pair of headphones that I don't have to take off during long car rides etc.
From the research that I have done so far, I was mainly looking at the Beyerdynamic dt880 32 ohm, and the dt770 80 ohm, though I am having a tough time trying to decide between the two, as I am nervous the 880s will have too little bass for me, and that the 770s will have too much. Also, I was wondering if you think that the 80 ohm 770s would be alright if I was using them without an amp, and plugging them into my phone and computer? Also, please do feel free to suggest any other headphones that you think would be a good upgrade under $200, or if you don't think it is worth upgrading if that is my budget, do let me know! Thanks for any, and all help!
