My concerns for the two are as follows:
Hd202: Longetivity, not sure what I am missing out being that it is entry level, lack of detachable cord, cord splits into both left and right.
srh404: Will it perform badly un-amped - perhaps worse than the hd202 (purchasing an amp as well goes beyond my budget), is the bass worse than the hd202 - will I be missing out when I play games (compared to the hd202), will it be too flat for my usage (entertainment) being that it is marketed as a studio monitor.
