any direct comparisons to the ultrasone 750's yet?

If these are anyway close to the ultrasone 750s, I would be highly disappointed

Are these at all rated for isolation (i.e. in dB reduction)?

 

[donunus]

Just think standard closed cans I guess... around 10 to 15db

found it at headroom... I was close about the isolation

They also claim the 280pros are 12dB~-15dB. If I had to guess from person experience. 280Pro would be on the higher end of this range and the srh840 would be closer to the lower end of this range... This is just with listening to both, so not scientific or anything.

Yeah, these will do very well against low to moderate everyday noise (like noises around the house, etc). But from my experience, against heavy duty noises such as from back of the bus or in the subway, these will somewhat struggle (you'll still hear and enjoy music fine, but noises will start seeping in). Then again, these aren't exactly portable anyways and you can't expect IEM level isolation from any fullsize can.

My guess on the range of isolation is that the lower range is for smaller heads/looser fit and higher range for larger heads/tighter fit

Yeah, the numbers on that site confuse me, as I usally see "up to" 32dB of isolaton associated with the 280s (i.e. on product descriptions,etc.); it's possible that this nubmer is way too high and is just a means of selling the product, but I doubt that they'd double the number.

I can't wait, I love my SE530's outdoors but when I'm home I just dont feel like sticking an earbud into my ear canal. I just want some cans I can put on, layback, and relax. I wonder if they will be available at J&R music world, best buy, or B&H?

I just ordered my set of SRH840s from Headroom.com for ($149). I've been looking at a set of closed headphones for sometime to compliment my Grado RS1/RA1 setup. I love my RS1s, but my wife often complains that they are too loud when she is next to me.

I love my Shure SE310s, so if these are good full sized equivalents (or ideally better) then I will be a satisfied customer.

These are already released?

I just got mine today. I am currently burning them in. I am going away for the next few days, but I will be posting my review and compare them to my Grado RS1s (not fair...I know, but that's what I have on hand).

Cheers,

anyone selling the 840 for less than MSRP?

edit: just saw the headroom.com reference.
