I'm looking for a pair of headphones that have a similar signature to the SRH840 but is not as big (they seem bigger than your average full-sized cans), more comfortable and around the same price. Around two hundred dollars. Plus I'm not going to be investing in an amp anytime soon.

Take a look at the KRK KNS 8400. Similar sound signature, probably a bit weaker on the bass area.

I've seen them at a local electronics store - is there anyway to up the bass?

Amp and EQ the sound in the 20 to 250 Hz region...u will notice decent amount of difference...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not able to spend money on an amp, and... I'm not that familiar with EQ-ing headphones... =/

It would really help to invest in an amp...a cheaper one maybe...the Fiio series. Some other head-fiers will be able to guide you on that.
 
EQ-ing is simple....
 

This is just something that I found...the process is similar:

Its Itunes based...but programs like VLC also have them...
 
I do not endorse his claims...i am just sharing this for you to know how to EQ. Thats all
 
 
Cheerz!

What about going up in the shure line, something like the SRH940? they are big cans though.

Yeah, I'm looking for something slightly smaller. Any other entry level cans that are balanced, detailed (but not overly) with a warm/fun sound?
