I'll be sure to include a review. I'll spend a couple weeks with them and write something up, and probably provide some initial impressions on this thread.
I'll include something similar to the format of the two I have written for the Senn HD 448 and PX 360. If you think I'm missing something critical in that format let me know, I'm open to criticism!
I would love to have my hands on an SRH-840 for comparison as that would be most useful to those waiting on the purchase to see what kind of love (or hate) they get, but I'm not looking to purchase a set nor do I know anyone who has one I can use. My apologies for that but I'm sure those comparisons will be made with other owners. Even 32 ohm audio in Portland doesn't have Shures on the floor
My reference points will be the two lower end Sennheiser cans and then my CharterOak SP-1 (A sort of hybrid between an MB Quart QP450 and German Maestro GMP450 PRO). For comparison, the price point order goes like this: Senn HD 448 < Senn PX 360 < Shure SRH940 < CharterOak SP-1. Obviously this isn't tell-all but is certainly something to consider. A review for the SP-1 should be up a few weeks later if you want to get an idea of what that headphone is like in order to better understand where I think the Shure sits. I've been waiting to spend more time with my buddy's HD650 and Schitt Asgard setup to write a review for the SP-1, since their price point is similar and there is a large familiarity with the HD650 here. I know that comparison is open v. closed as well but should still provide a decent reference. The comparison of the Shure and my other three headphones I've spent a lot of time with are all of the closed nature, so that should be just fine.
I will also have access to a Beyer DT770 (32ohm) and will probably make some comparisons there too.
And of course, PICS!
