I'm looking for a new pair of headphones, these seem like a good match for me. My two previous main headphones was ultrasone pro900 and denon d600, both stolen in 2013 :mad: i liked both of them, mainly due to the massive bass is the signature dj a nice step up? I mainly listen to dubstep/ hiphop/ + classical music and some heavy metal occasionally.

Atm i use a fiio e10 in my office, but might upgrade the amp as well

I'm curious whether any Sig DJ owners also possess (or at least heard) the Shure SRH1540. I know....different price class as the Sig DJ is double the price

I havent heard any of those headphones mentioned, but if you like bass + clarity then you will be a happy customer lol.

How were they stolen?

 

[jammyknut]

Burglary, had like 4 of them in 6 months, got some serious security issues in my office. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon. They didnt bother stealing my sennheiser 25 hd-II though, lol.
I LOVE bass. I've also got a beyerdynamic 990 HiFi and 770

Yes and prefer the Sig DJs all the way even though the mids are a bit recessed compared to the Shure's (but just a bit). I'm working on a review for the Shure's but that's the short answer. Still, make no mistake, I enjoy the Shure's as they provide a fun signature without resorting to boosted highs.

Well...
Don't you think it's time to NOT leave headphones in your office?!?

 

[jammyknut]

gelocks, no doubt. Bad luck and awful security combined with thiefs with a preference for decent headphones/ laptops whatnot, but it doesnt matter right now. Let's talk sig dj

 

[sloomingbla]

So i am wierd and annoying to myself sometimes, lol, and i tried the toilet paper mod or whatever that is normally done with the maudio q40 and i can say the soundstage has increased, and really low bass is heard/felt slightly better. Idk. Not much else was effected :3

I am familiar with both of those headphones and the answer is a definitive yes across the board regarding the D600.  Bass is closer related to the PRO900 from memory, but I consider their highs harsh and mids recessed by comparision.  The Sig DJ is really in another league, as it should be for the price.

 

[jammyknut]

thanks craigster75, i agree with the pro900 regarding highs and i guess the mids were ok'ish in my ears. The d600 was a better allrounder, but liked ultrasones lows more. I auditioned the th600 a few weeks ago, but wasnt uberimpressed, probably because they were paired with a bright amp.

How is comfort compared to d600 and pro900? Do you use an amp? I'm probably ordering headphones next week

D600 vs. PRO900 or SigDJ?  Regardless, I would give the edge in comfort to the D600, although the Sig DJ has a more secure fit for portable use.  I found the D600 would slip quite a bit when walking.
 
My amp is the V-Moda Verza.

 

[jammyknut]

D600 and pro900 are very comfortable to me, can use them for hours. Bit scary to flesh out 1000USD for the djs without trying them out

Buy them from a vendor like B&H photo who has a no hassle 30 return policy without a restocking fee.  You are only risking the return postage costs if you don't like them.  That's what I did, but I fell in love and still have mine.

 

[drgajet]

Same here, not much risk. Once I heard them they weren't going anywhere.

 

[jammyknut]

Not sure if the only store in this country that sell djs, offer returns, but i'll order them anyway next week.

 

[ltgem612]

There are a few other small "mom and pop" stores like Moon Audio that have them but B&H Photo is huge and if you decide to return them, which I doubt you will, a great big store really doesn't take a hit.  Their catalog has tens of thousands of items and is 473 pages.  They usually sell returns at a good discount but so few of the dj's are returned that they seldom have any.  From their website it appears they are a full line Ultrasone dealer and no I do not work for them.  Just have good luck with them in the past.  They have had items like the CEntrance M8 when nobody else did.  Enjoy your signatures.  My only complaint against them was the one dinky cable( 1 of 2) that came with them. The other coiled one was ok.  Bought a replacement( the one that comes with the Signature Pros) direct from the Ultrasone shop but that cable alone was $89.00.  Way to high but couldn't find any other aftermarket because of the plug they use on the headphone end is smaller than the standard 1/8 stereo plug.
