This is an interesting one, because while it is not conventional enhanced senses, it does allow him to do things others can't with theirs, like piggyback across networks to eavesdrop on people near technology.
In a similar vein, though I didn't really consider it when creating the thread, I suppose Iron Man also kind of counts. Because while Tony's own senses aren't amplified, the suit's systems grant him far greater awareness of his surroundings than he would have otherwise, considering his suit can scan for life signs, heat signatures, different materials or energy sources, tap into newsfeeds etc.

John Proudstar (Thunderbird) from Gifted deserves a mention as well. His sense are so enhanced that he can track people for days and can hear the conversations of people in passing cars on a crowded street, as well as sense Sentinels behind a heavy steel door.
His "tracking" is also unique because it seems to let him recreate everything that happened in the area to an astonishing amount of detail.
Also no, Maguire Spidey isn't better than Daredevil as it's still just a Spidey-Sense. He can sense danger coming. Daredevil can sense it, knows where it's coming from, and what's actually happening.
I think Spider-Sense is actually superior. In the sense that it will warn Spidey of Dangers that can't be heard even with super hearing.
For example, A Vampire with no heartbeat (or just a Ghost) could sneak around without being heard at all for example. Or if Parker was about to drink poison, his Spider-Sense would likely tingle. But a Radar sense probably wouldn't pick up on that (I'm guessing).
Radar sense works on more than just hearing though. It combines all 4 of his heightened senses. For poison, for example, Matt would most likely be able to smell something was off. His sense of smell is insane. In S1 of DD, for example, he was able to smell what Foggy had had for lunch... 2 days earlier. And even as a child, could smell that a man sitting several feet away had cancer. He can even detect electrical currents, somewhat like a shark can. Or he can detect blood by tasting the copper in the air, or feeling the heat coming from an open wound (all of which the MCU version in particular has done before). Daredevil's senses essentially give him 360 awareness over a considerable distance, because he does not depend on line of sight to create a picture of the world around him.
And, as mentioned previously, Radar sense is way more detailed. Spider sense might tell you there is something dangerous inside a building. Barring very specific circumstances, Radar sense can tell you what it is, how many there are, their individual positions etc. And, like I said, Stan Lee (the guy who played a big part in creating both characters) once said that the Radar sense is better. And there have actually been instances in the comics where Matt has been able to avoid things Peter couldn't.

Yeah, but at this point, Matt has had decades to gain mastery over his senses, and it has become second nature to him.
Plus, as we have seen, especially with Holland Spiderman, for example, having Spider sense and knowing how to appropriately react to it are two separate things.

.....is this even a question? Daredevil can smell the cologne on a person from a block away. He can hear a girl getting beaten from half a city away. Hell, he can hear a half conscious old man whispering to him from from a different building wing while he's fighting ninjas. Having a danger sense is literally nothing in comparison to hearing,tasting, feeling, and smelling the danger before it even presents itself.
As far as senses go, Heimdall is number one, followed by Superman and then daredevil.
