The 750s look less bulky than the 840s because of the open yoke design and the relatively small housings but overall size is really about the same. They also feel less bulky - they are much lighter than the 840s and fold up smaller.
Now - for the headband. It is an annoyance and when you put them on, they tend to stick out more than usual. I've worked at mine a few times and now get a bit of a curve at the top of the headband. I may make another attempt or two to see if I can get it more rounded but I definitely see a difference, it doesn't stick out quite as much.
I will say this: Even when the headband flattened out, comfort has never been an issue. I can see how it can be though if A) you have a sizable noggin, and/or B) you have large ears (you might bump into the earpad). I would say if you typically have to adjust headphones beyond halfway to make them fit, the 750s may be too small for you.
Thankfully they fit me well enough because I am totally diggin' how they sound. They really offer the exact kind of sound sig I prefer.
