Agreed. I did the switch during the burn in from 200 hours (that's what they supposedly had when I got them) and somewhere slightly north of 400 hours now. They sound much better, I thin the burn in and the thicker foam circles, plus the change in pad material and how much they crush to my head all contribute. Interestingly, I tried going way loose on the headband, and got some channel imbalance. I tightened back up on the headband, and now they seem fine. These are more sensitive to position than my old senns or new to me ESW10's.

The end result is that the comfort is now such that they are keepers. The sound signature is also worth keeping, though I plan to recable with mogami 2893 and dampen the cups and see where that leads.
