Intended for disc jockeys and home studio engineers, Shure's SRH550DJ is an affordable entry-level headphone pair. At $125, the SRH550DJ is less expensive than some more-hyped DJ-oriented models, like the Beats Pro by Dr. Dre From Monster. The SRH550DJ is quite similar to Shure's less expensive headphone pair with the primary difference being earcups that easily twist away from the ear, and a slightly deeper bass response.
