Did I read somewhere that the 940 with 1540 pads creates an eargasim? It might have been the other ways around, but I'd be interested if someone tried it.

When I want to know exactly what is wrong with the quality of my music, I always reach for the SRH940.
Hey guys,
I demoed the 940s the other day and must say that I was very impressed by them and loved the sound. My only gripe is the lack of mid bass (for me), making the drum kicks in certain songs not hit as hard as I would like. I'll be going to a larger demo room next week so can anyone recommend some similar sounding closed-back headphones around the same price for me to try out?
Thanks.
Why not try the sennheiser momentum. The full sized one. I have the 940s and you will never get bass with a lot of impact with it. Midrange on the momentum is good too. But with more bass. It's voiced differently though. The momentum is on the warm side. The 940s on the analytical side.
When I upgraded from the 940s I was looking for the bass impact with great midrange. The momentum was nice. Though I found it more of a side grade. Went for the he500 at the end. The momentum is a good choice for those looking for bass in a closed can within the same price range as the 940s. If you have more budget to spare go for the he500.
Also looked at the he400 but I found that it had too much bass for my liking. Other options to look at are the Beyer dt880.

I actually feel the Momentum to be a kind of downgrade to be honest.
I've tried the original Momentum, not really a fan. I can't explain it but I find them artificial sounding and not so easy to listen to. I ended up opting for the Beyerdynamic DT-250 which I'm very happy with. I guess I prefer flat headphones.

These headphones are on the opposite sides of the spectrum...but if I had to pick, I'd take the Momentums any day of the week. Sorry, but the SRH940s are just so fatally flawed for me that I can only stomach no more than 5 minutes with them. YMMV of course, just my experiences with both headphones.
