Maybe if you put a omni mic in a molded ear...

BTW, own 2 pairs of 750s and love them. They are not fatiguing in the least IMO. Have owned/currently own various Sony, ATHM40s, K271s and those horrible Foxtex's that the session guys like. Nothing comes close in terms of accuracy and listening longevity. They DO have to be broken in though.
Never found them to be to bassy of bright. I found that they will inform you that you recordings are to bassy or bright. Just because you don't hear it on one form of playback, doesn't mean it's not there.
thank you very much man i think thats what i needed to go ahead and order the 750's.

btw have u heard of modding any of the Pro's? seems people are getting some nice results. i would only add some damping to the cup, and not cover certain holes like other people are doing, that will **** with the sound stage.
