Hello, guys.

Some days ago I bought a Shure SRH145. And I loved the sound from this model, but I get my ears hurting after an short period of time. So I sold this headphone and now I`m looking for another one.

I ve reading about the Koss UR40 and Philips SPH9500s models. Koss UR40 have an lifetime warranty and are cheaper than SPH9500s. Well, Sony XB450ap its on my budget too. SPH9500s are more expensive and cannot replace its earcups.

I`ll only use the headphone to listen to music and to watch movies. I listen mostly to IDM as like Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and a lot of indie, prog rock and metal too. I spend all day long working in my computer, then it must comfortable.

Which one should I bought? Remember that I loved the sound quality from Shure SRH145. If the Koss UR40 sounds quality are like SRH145, I`ll buy it!

-Koss UR40 (lifetime warranty, cheaper, it seems comfortable)

-Philips SPH9500s (every review says that is very comfortable, but here in Brazil it prices are very high)

-Sony MDR40xp ( I did not read a lot about these ones, but it seems nice and are cheap)

Thanks! ps: sorry for my bad english!

Perhaps something from Audio-Technica?

What about Audio Technica Ath-m20x?

Koss Prodj100 have so good specs, but every review says it uncomfortable

Rtings reviews are ok, but Philips SPH9500 has more rating in critical listening

I want a headphone with sound quality alike Shure SHR145, if Koss UR40 are at same level, I`ll buy it!

Thanks
