I personally prefer Shure SRH-840 in terms of comfort and accuracy. It's a bit bulky still (It's from 2010s, so yea, it's got that bulk), but I find it quite comfortable and not a head crushing vice. And whatever you hear from these tend to translate well across most media.
If you like the fit of the SRH-840. I would recommend the 2nd gen SRH-840A. Upside of the new one is that the headband is lighter so the overall weight is less. Downside is the flexibility of accommodating larger heads is reduced because the headband can't be extended as far. I also think the headband cushion has become thinner, but I'm not sure.
