well i sold me 440 due to discomfort, i couldnt wear them for over an hour or two (hot and heavy)...im looking for something very comfortable and sounds great. i have a d10 amp that i use with my computer, so i would like something that would work well with the amp. Im not a bass head, but i did not like the lack of bass in the 440s. i wont wear them as portables, but would like to be able to transport them...the 440's were not practical. I was looking at the senn Hd25 and ultrasone 780 and the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7, how do they compare with amp/without? my budget is now 250ish, maybe a bit more (280$ usd) if it is a big diff. open cans are fine as long as they dont leak alot, ive considered grado but apparently they leak ALOOOOT. im open to basically other kinds like portables, and iems

Man I had the 440's too and I returned them to amazon because they wrecked my big ears..So I did research on headphones for comfort and I found Audio Technica ATH 700. They are the most comfortable headphone I've ever had. They sound amazing also..amped and unamped Im using a Nuforce uDAC and its a dream. But the thing is the 700's are huge and not portable IMO...but they do make up for it in everything else. The 700's are closed backs they also make a open back called the ATHD700. Check em out!

I bought mine from adorama, but directly on their site (though they have an amazon shop), and I am pretty happy with them

had all 3. the d200 is much cushier and doesnt press on your head

Had the D2000 and the SRH840. The Denon had a lot more bass so it might be suited to you. Extra comfy too but has no isolation.
