I would like to ask for suggestion here. I've been thinking to buy either Shure SRH840 or 940, but still not decide yet. Is it better to buy 840 and use the extra money to buy an amp, or 940 worth at that price? Is the 840 consider an upgrade from my ATH AD700? Also is there any other headphone to suggest me that is close.

- My Rig: laptop/PC and handphone
- Type of usage: 50% music and 50% gaming/movie
- File format: mostly mp3 and some flac
- Music genre: classics, rock, pop, R&B, jazz, etc
- Budget: ~rm1000
- Headphone/ earphone type: headphone(close)
- Other requirements (if any): Prefer something more detail and natural but have a bit more bass than my current ad700. Even if lack bass not that much problem since I not really a basshead. Also hope to get one that's comfortable since I'll be using it for at least few hours in a day.

Thank you

SRH840/940 is flat, clean and pure sound..not everyone can accept it..u can try Beyer dt770 pro +amp

Thank you for the recommendation now a bit lean on the dt770 pro after looking at some reviews and users' comment... lol. Another question, any amp you can recommend for this? Also I saw Jaben got Christmas sales for dt880pro together with and iem and an amp (not sure still have stock or not but will ask later), is it a better choice if I can stretch a bit on my budget? icon_question.gif

Thank you for the suggestion, done some searching for it but currently a bit lean on Beyer.
