I got my first set of cans today (Yes, I'm aware of the slippery slope that leads to regarding my wallet!) Since I'm relatively new at this whole 'audiophile' stuff, I can't truly appreciate it yet, but they sound great to my ears! Also, I don't know why there's so little info on these.

Anyway, I chose these since I've been using SE110's for a while now, and I thought I needed an upgrade. Since I loved the sound of them, (and I live close to the beautiful Shure HQ building (I know, that's a terrible reason!)) I decided to stick with the brand. I originally looked at 440's/840's, but they're a but ugly for my taste (yes, appearances matter a bit for me.) When saw the DJ's, I had found my match! Anyway, enough irrelevant talk. I have some pics!

Alright, so far the headphones sound great, but the cord really pisses me off! As you could see in the pics, its one of those curly, stretchy cords. It's too long for me to just walk around with. I have to keep the slack of the cord in the pocket of my hoodie! I would have much rather preferred a straight cable.

i guess the cable is being part of a DJ headphones, not getting in the way of basic movement, but i guess DJ's wouldn't look cool if they tripped over a 3m cable.

Are you using the headphones for actual DJ'ing or just listening. I ask because I want to get some legitimate feedback from DJ's on these headphones compared to the king of DJ Headphones the Sennheiser HD-25.

May I ask if 750dj's box are not sealed when in store?
 
I'm about to buy a pair, but when I saw it wasn't sealed, I think twice, it was the only pair the store has, and they didn't have a demo unit.. I just don't like to get a demo unit.

Mine had a circular bit of tape placed over the latch for opening the box. It wasn't plastic wrapped.
 
I love these headphones for general listening. They work great with my laptop.

How's the comfort? (Heard it's not so great)

The 750 dj is unique.  It's pads are stiff and not at all soft or comfortable, however due to the headband and the lack of clamp, its angle and the design of the headband conforming to your head, it is very comfortable and the pressure is taken off your ears.
 
its weird and hard to describe

I just bought an SRH750DJ as well and i agree with the above post, it don't find it uncomfortable at all.
The pads are a little shallow, and my ears slightly touch the speakers, but because its covered with a soft textile and there's little clamping force, it doesn't bother me.
 
I was actually quite surprised about the comfort. Since i'm used to the HD 555 and HD 600, i expected the worst.
The SRH750 looks a lot less comfortable then it actually is imo.

Cool, so maybe with bigger pads would improve comfort. How about weight?
Guess I should also get a straight cable if I try them out myself. (but still waiting for a few more reviews, impressions etc)
