Sorry, if this is obvious or too simplistic, but...

 

(1) So, loud for 8 hour intervals until I've reached app. 100 hours total usage? 

 

(2) And by even out, you mean??

 

(3) And, finally referring back to your other post, http://www.head-fi.org/t/575943/grado-gr10-blissful-harmonics-final-review-added/60#post_7927507, "From new they start a bit congested, then get a bit hot until they warm up..." As a newbie, I still am not sure I understand what you mean, though by "they start a bit congested, then get a bit hot until they warm up and top evens out with more texture and res."  Hot? Warm?  Are these references to bass or treble?  Something else?  What does it mean to say that they will "open up?"  Both you and Grado say it.  I am wondering what improvements or differences in sound I will notice in the next 50ish hours.

Hot refers to the treble (spikes generally).  Warm actually refers to the mid-bass, and at times the sub-bass.  Opening up is generally an idea on the ultrasonic treble that creates the perception of air between the instruments and sounds.

In simpler terms, the sound tends to smooth out and sound a little more cohesive after 15-20 hours of use.

It just takes longer than most with GR10.
