Hi y'all, after a week from ordering the shell and mmcx connectors, I finally received the parts and reshell the MH-755, see below along with the recabled MH-755.
From this, the reshell MH-755 is almost the polar opposite from the original MH-755. A little bit more held back in term of sound(original is more...much more forward), the bass is tone down a lot more but there is still sub-bass underneath. The soundstage is wider(?) in width, might due to the longer nozzle length and size.
A word of advice to anyone who want to try reshelling, use the original black filter. The treble without the black filter is ear-bleedingly sharp as Slater said before and I wholeheartedly confirm:
Overall, the bass is toned down, leaning toward mid and highs. More laid back compared to the original. I need to bump up volume a few notches to match the volume of the original MH-755.
I'll leave the link to the image gallery of the process if anyone is interested: https://imgur.com/a/KSLg6Yn

The MH755 treble can be kinda harsh. That’s why Sony put the foam in the nozzle and also used that black nozzle mesh.
So you may want to try that on the new shell if it’s too hot for you. If the black nozzle mesh from the Sony is too small for the stainless mesh that comes with the metal shell, just stick it on top of the stainless mesh like a sandwich.
