My problem with the A900's is the bass extension - compared to my 280 Pro's they just do not accurately reproduce bass below 50-60hz, at least not at comfortable listening levels. The music I produce and listen to makes significant use of those frequencies, so hearing them is important. Do the...

I have narrowed down my search for a headphone to the SRH-840 and was not able to find any comparison reviews between the two. I am mostly using them for monitoring music production and listening, primarily to electronic music with strong bass. I want a new pair since I feel the A900 bass...

You definitely gave me some more to think of, I'll try to head to a store that has them in stock, hopefully I can hear at least one of them before taking the plunge.

You definitely put a wrench in the works with that Denon review. I guess it is between the DNHP 700's and the SRH-840's now...

Have you listened to 280Pro's? I am extremely happy with that type of bass - accurate and deep. Some say lacking in mid-bass, but it sounds great to me. If so, it sounds like the 840's are close to that type of bass. From what you are saying it looks like the 840's are probably a better fit...

Awesome, thanks for the input! I am listening to some music with heavy 808 bass right now on my 280's and it blows my A900's out of the water. Have you noticed the 840's lacking in the sub-bass region at all? That's my only concern, then I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Well my favorite thing about the 280Pros is how deep and accurate the bass is, which allows me to mix and produce at hours when I cannot run my speakers and subwoofer. Are the SRH-840's less impressive on the bass end? I know the M100's are marketed as more of a listening headphone than a...

I am looking to upgrade from my current ATH-A900's and 280Pros. I find the A900's bass to be insuffient, especially its sub-bass, and the 280's to be a bit too sterile and I don't love their high-end. I will be mostly using it for home music listening and for music production tasks in electronic...

A lot of reviews I saw on the DT880's and SRH-940's criticize their lack of bass presence. Given that most of the music I produce and listen to is very bass heavy this wouldn't work well for me. I don't need exaggerated bass necessarily, but I already feel like A900's don't have sufficient bass...

anyone?

I own a pair of A900's and they are starting to fall apart after years of daily use. I primarily listen at home through the headphone out of a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 and I use it for general listening of primarily electronic genres, though some jazz, and for producing electronic...
