I took a damp one and gently ran it over the cans in one direction. The most important thing is to do the polishing in only one direction for a uniform finish.

what kind of scotch brite pad did you use? tempted to do it as well with my incoming white ES7 =)

hate those fingerprint magnets!

Probably just the green ones, am I right?

i was thinking sandpaper last time since i did the same with my ipod touch but im not sure if the material of the es7 is metal-based.

I'm going to try it with the schotch brite pad first. if not then I'll just leave it as is. no point in scratching the hell out of them with sandpaper.
 

just got my replacement pair in the mail, but i am astonished at how different the sound sig is from my last pair. my last pair took something like 100 hours of burn in before they had anything resembling bass come out of them. once they were burnt in, though, they were perfect. absolutely stunning. these ones have massive bass straight out of the box, and are much less forward. also, the positioning was better in the last pair... although i am not sure if this is something that changes with burn-in. With the last pair i felt like i could reach out and touch the singer while listening to the album Damnation by Opeth.

the only physical differences between the cans was the plug. this one has a ribbed plug whereas the other pair had a plug that was tapered and smooth all the way to the cord.

edit: i also think the pads are much softer than the ones on my other pair.

also, i got the new ones from Beach Camera on Amazon. I am pretty sure they are real, i am only questioning whether my old pair was real or not. These new ones better match the descriptions of the sound signature i read on here.

sounds like your first pair were fakes - the non ribbed plug is a clear sign.

Hey guys!

Let's see if i can revive this old thread a little bit.

I'm in the market for buying a pair of headphones and these beauties caught my eye. Sadly, there is no store in Stockholm that has them, so i can't try them on before buying them. I would beusing these quite a lot in front of my computer, so i'm wondering if the comfort is good enough for that kind of prolonged use?
