Thanks for reply. It's no problem for me if 840 are weight; it's important to be comfortable at long sessions. How could you compare the soundstage of the 840 with the K702?

i like the sound signature of shure840...more towards the warm side, fuller and punchier than my akg702.
But i sold the 840 becos of its weight(300+grams?)  on the head..and the heat..its warm in my country..
i cant sit thru a session of say two hours.. 
 
the akg702 is airier..wider.. hmmm...and very light on the head. (100++grams ? ). love the overall package.
 
 
The 840 is very easy to drive...even my simple sansa clip+ sounds great with the 840...
but wont wake up the akg702...lol.
 
hope this helps.

BTW, I have read an interesting article about 840 headphones:  http://www.avguide.com/review/playback-23-shure-srh840-professional-monitoring-headphones

The review stinks, but the comments are entertaining and much more informative.

I have had a pair of SRH840's for about two months.  They are my 'leave at the office' phones.  I find them extremely comfortable and rarely do they get too warm on my ears.  Overall I prefer the sound of my HD600's for sound stage.  The Shures certainly have more bass, sometimes it seems to be a little too much.  They are easy to drive off all my portables without an amp.  They were certainly a great deal for the money.

Does anybody know where are the country where the Shure produce this headphones? Are these made in USA?
