I think I must have the oposite experience of many people here. Initially I really totally enjoyed and liked the sound of these headphones. And the favorite of mine right before this was Denon 2000, so I think I can trust my ears as well hehehe
But the longer I heard them my opinions started to change. But enjoying them as much as I did I felt potential in them and so I went for the alo mod, maybe there is a way to get to that sound another way. Like doing your own dampening and getting a cheaper cable. But even with the mod version it takes time to burn in....
I still have my stock version but stopped listening to it. So maybe I will keep burning them in as well to see if they ever mellow out a bit more. But I did compare them again last night and the alo mod is so much smoother and I know they still need more burn in so I am digging them. As they sound great right now and will get better. The bass is tightening up practically as I listen to them....I was hearing a bass heavy track and thought damn that bass is way to much. 5 hours later I listened again and it was tighters and smoother. Big changes and I think the mod version burns in faster from what I am experiencing.
This more then any other headphone I have owned so far has gone the the widest in swing from positive to negative feelngs but the positive was strong enough for me to stick to it hehehe
