Ok, after burning my G2s in for two nights, I must say that unfortunately these 'phones seem to be way too aggressive in the upper mids/highs for my taste - it has an unpleasant harshness and ringing quality to it. My Yuin PK2s just sound far better in comparison and I find the Koss KSC75 more enjoyable as well because of this. I noticed this problem the first time I heard the G2s, but thought it was gonna disappear after some burn-in - well, I think it did get a bit better after about 20 hours, but it's still pretty bad. Let's see if more burn-in will tame those crazy highs.
