Just wanted to give an update...
I bought a pair of new SRH840's, and right out of the box, I hated them. Packed them up and sent them home.
However, there was a deal for a used pair of SRH840's that was just too good to resist...I thought, "hey, I might just have a pair on hand for future comparisons."
The used pair sounds GREAT. I love them. I'm a believer in burn in for these headphones. Call me a new man. Definitely fixes a lot of (IMO) problems of the M50 such as the recessed mids, and kind of make the M50 sound a little muddy, actually. Fit-wise they are heavier, but nothing terribly uncomfortable (I have a full head of hair). They fit somewhat loosely, though, so are not good for head-banging. Isolation is very good.
