Nice avatar. I can't convince myself into buying them just yet. My other hobbies need attention too.

Again, this is just from the experience with the 840's, maybe the jack on the 440's are different, I wouldn't know since I've never seen it. |

Over the ear, sexy as hell, great bass and sound quality so i hear, folding, apparently don't need an amp. The downside is that damn cord. If they sound better than the Es7s I'll buy them ( obviously they do ) I was so happy with the sound off the es7s but they hurt my ears something fierce. I am undecided as it stands. 440 vs 840. I have to dig more and maybe even call Shure and ask them what I can do with the cord...maybe they might know a brand that has a shorter cord that will fit the can and a basic 3.5mm mp3 player. If not, it still seems very worth it. |
