Totally understand and agree. I never have to adjust 'phones beyond the halfway point but with the DJs, I am nearly at max. Don't understand what Shure was thinking.

Yeah, as I had posted way back - the chassis of the DJs are their Achilles heel. I've done a number of mods with mine including addressing the squeakiness. They are just too good sounding for me to give up on.

Warrior05, have you documented your SRH-750DJ mods anywhere on the forums? I'd love to see what you did to improve the SRH-750DJs.

I have not. Basically I filled the yokes with silicon and greased the swivel points. Made a big difference.

Hmm...can you give us a detailed review on the new sound?

yokes?

As for the straight cable, I can't find a 2.5mm tip that fits into the headphones....there's this triangle shaped piece that blocks the port...any advice?

Thanks warrior05 and rocksteady for the insightful reviews! srh750 is looking like a very attractive upgrade from my ath es7 and denon d1001. I liked the es7s look and portability, but the colored mids really grinded my gears whenever I switched to the clarity of the d1001 for home listening.

warrior05, you mentioned that the mids are on warm side of neutral. I hope they're in no way colored like the es7s?

was very interested in the q40 as well. Would you say vocals are sweeter on the srh750 or q40? I always felt vocals took a back seat on my d1001s.

I've ordered the SRH750DJ myself, for $75.00 w/free S&H from Amazon, and now I have a question. I have a set of bayerDynamic DT770 replacement earpads laying around, and I wondered if they would fit the SRH750DJ?

The DT770's look bigger, so I'm doubtful, but i'm hoping someone can answer this for me.

Thanks in advance,

tds01

Nope - won't fit. Wish they would though I do find the OEM pads pretty comfy.

Has anyone done any mods to the ear pads? I feel like modding them as they're a little too uncomfortable for me but i don't really know where/how to start.

 

[tds101]

The earpads for the DT250's, the same as the mod for the ATH-M50's, fit. They're slightly off-shaped, but they fit. I just stayed w/the stock pads though, and they sond more bassy, and detailed than my ATH-M50's - an actual upgrade after all.

 

[tds101]

The SQ of the SRH750DJ is quite good, better than my M50's. I love the clarity, and the bass is present, but not bloated - like it sounds compared to the M50's.

My new favorite HP's, thanks to you guys!!!

you mean the dt250 pads fit the 750djs?

They are nicer than the m50s but not by too much, and for sure have THE BEST bass out of the entire Shure lineup, including the M50. hell, I can do as far as saying they are in a special league of headphones that play ever genre very well. Shure did a great job

They fit, but the sizing isn't even - so skip it.
