My concern is that I often listen to classic/hard rock, funk, and many other diverse types of music, however I'm looking for headphones that will perform in those genres but also do a decent job with classical. I definately dont mainly listen to classical, but when I do I want to enjoy it.
IMO the DT250 is the most versatile closed can I have heard. Everything sounds good on it. Though I haven't heard them, the SRH840 would be a step up from the 440's though they are less neutral from what I have read (leaning more toward a darker sound).
I much preferred the 840 for overall genre representation. The M50s do best with genres that aren't mid-centric. The 840s have funny fit issues for some people though (myself included). Your best bet it to head down to the nearest shop or guitar center and try them both out. Neither needs an amp, so straight out of an mp3 player will be fine. The Q40 is also a strong contender, and sounds better than the other two (in my opinion) when amped.
