Just wanted to get out a quickie before the anxiety sinks in for exams...
Recently, I purchased a Shure 750DJ from a local music store in Kingston, Ontario. They were selling them for $189.99 but after telling him about cheaper prices at JR's and several different places I was able to get them for $100. It was just a deal I just couldn't walk away from. Upon receiving my headphones I noticed that he also gave me a straight cable and a coiled cable...SCORE! These headphones come with an additional set of pads, a leather bag that says Shure on it and an adapter. I put them aside in order to be burnt in with pink noise and a plethora of other tools and songs. However, horrible roommate-itis kicked in and my Sennheisers and my Grados were no match for his loud Skype sessions so I had to bring out the Shures. While the Shures do not block out ALL of the noise they did however block out enough noise to allow me to study for my midterms. I started up some classical music to test out the soundstage, details and depth of the music and was pleasantly surprised. For a $100 headphone it did its job better than my HD600s with amp and my Grado R1s...studying had now taken a backseat. As I listened on I was becoming more curious about the extent of their capabilities. The sound was smooth, rich and delicious it was like a premium chocolate milkshake. The soundstage was fantastic and provides an experience similar to that of sitting in a concert hall with live music. For a closed headphone that's pretty darn good. The sound is accurate. Every note, breath and sound is discernable. I'm very impressed with these so far. I cannot wait for them to be burnt in.
Cheers
