I've never heard the Shure's, but I do love the DJ100. I would ALWAYS recommend it over the MV1 for sure. I don't think you lose that much detail, and the weight alone is worth recommending the DJ100. I'd bet the MV1 is twice as heavy.
I probably posted this before, but I'm pretty sure the MV1 has an even LARGER upper mids peak than the DJ100. Definitely sounds that way. DJ100 sounded a bit clearer and it took awhile to notice. I didn't give the MV1 5 days of burn-in, so it's hardly fair.
It'd be interesting to listen to a Pro4AAT and an MV1 with a good 50 hours of burn in on them. I remember hearing someone on here years ago preferring the Pro4AAT over the K701 for classical!
I imagine the muffled sound of the Pro4AAT (like the DJ100) goes away after lots of burn in. Of course not all DJ100s sound slightly muffled before burn-in, but some. Could be the titanium driver.
