I thought subscribed threads expired after a while, but after almost a year, this one came back and found me. It's pulling me back, trying to make me buy some SR225's or HD650's!!
AHHHH!!!!!!!!
But anyway, imokruok, I still have these cans and love them. I think after a proper burn in you'll really see them shine. Also, keep in mind the way you wear them has a huge impact on sound. Make sure if you wear glasses you take them off, so they seal properly. Also, the way they sit the best for me (soundwise) is with the band situated slightly forward on my head, such that the mounting from the phone to the band is perpendicular to the ground. It seems a little odd at first, but I think you'll find it quite comfortable and the sound should improve. The drivers are angled, and I believe they need to be positioned right to sound their best.
I know some people have also used rubber bands to pull the drivers closer to their ears. While I haven't tried this, you might give it a shot if after all of the above you still have some issues. They require a rather huge head to wear correctly
Lastly, when I originally wrote the review I was plugging them into a Onkyo receiver. I eventually upgraded to a META42, and was quite happy with the further improvement it made to the sound.
I hope your burn in is successful, and I hope you enjoy them!
