Hi!
I'm interested in getting the SRH940. I've read everything that pops up on 3 first pages of google results on those cans, and I've seen a large amount of complaints about the plastics breaking (search on google images "srh940 cracks"). Someone said, that the plastics were bad in 2011. I've even contacted a seller that wants to sell his 5year old headphones and he has the breaks visible as well.
Now it's 2016. Will new SRH940 break as well? Are the plastics still bad?
Context: I want to upgrade my SRH440 to another set of closed headphones. What I look for: clarity in mids and treble, detail, bass that does not overtake the whole sound. I like the bass in the SRH440, it's enough. But the mids and treble lack a bit of quality there. Hence the upgrade.
I've heard the PSB M4U1 and am impressed, although a little less bass would not hurt. But I have a gigantic head (64 cm) and these squeeze the pads so much, that my ears are squished.
I'm going to be using the Audinst HUD MX1 mostly, but from time to time Spotify on my android phone will have to do to. If you can recommend something else then the SRH940 - I'm listening. I'll be also looking at the Brainwavz HM5 and NAD VISO HP50. I suspect that the first ones might not be considerably better than srh440 in the mids and treble and the NADs are really hard to get here (Poland).
