Anyone want a SRH550DJ comparison?
Posted on: 05.03.2011 by Gilma Marchini
Would anyone be interested in a comparison of the SRH550DJ and AIAIAI's TMA-01's? If so what all would you guys like me to compare? I'll just post it on the community ^.^

A buddy of mine who works at Shure's NA Distribution center hooked me up with a new pair of their SRH550DJ (for free ) which is shipping out to stores for the first time this weekend.

TMA-01:

Sound - 9/10
Feel - 6/10
Aesthetics 9/10
Build - 7/10

Total - 31/40

Pros: Very sexy (including the pouch you put it in), great bass, the bungie style chord might save your gear , it sounds amazing, and the pouch can be used as a screen cleaner.

Cons: Feels uncomfortable after about an hour of use, if you have long hair the headband gets lost and makes it look as if the cups are attached to your temples, the chord can still send a small soundcard flying (A2DJ) and when plugged into my mixer it ended up bending the 1/8

Copied from another community :

The SRH550DJ has a fixed cable with a length of 2 meters (6.6 feet); the SRH750DJ has a detachable cable with a length of 3 meters (9.8 feet).

The SRH750DJ has ear pads that fully surround the ear. Ear pads can be replaced on both models.

The SRH750DJ has an extended high frequency response.

The SRH550DJ is 3 dB more sensitive than the SRH750DJ.

The SRH550DJ weighs less than the SRH750DJ.
If you want to fork out another $50, go for it, it's essentially the same headset with some other features. If I was to buy again I would probably get the 750, but I got the 550 for free so I'm not complaining.

But i am mostly wanting new headphones because i find that i dont really like the over ear design, and i believe that i will like on ear more.

And i was lookin at the TMA's! so thanks for this little comparison
If I was you I would look into the HD25-1 II's from Sennheiser. They have perfect ratings online and would seem to be more comfortable. I've just come to realize that new companies, like AIAIAI, may have some really cool new ideas, but they just lack the well polished and experienced design of large companies.

I did use my TMA's a fair amount, but I took great care of them, and the paint is still peeling. If you look at the photos I took I had a closeup.

Actually, yes! It'd be very helpful for me I already own a HDJ2000 but I'm still looking for a good headphone/IEM for monitoring for bands and such.
