Thanks for the burn in info. My pair has about 100 hrs on them, but they still sound quite thin in the mids and tho up top. Happy with the bass though. I am using Slee solo ultra linear diamond which is suppose to match low ohm phones like grado and fostex.
Will burn them for another week and see whether there's any improvement!

Some observations of sound changing while I burn in TH-600... After 40-50 hours of burn-in the brightness and sibilance on vocal is become much less, but after 100 hours the sibilance start to grow again, after 150 hours sibilance again start to decrease, after 200 hours the sound become stable to my ears, the slight sibilance is still there, but not to the point to be critical to me... also after 100 hours the tonal balance become much more neutral, so much that hadphones become a little "boring", but after 200 hours, even though tonal balance become even more neutral, the sound of headphones overall become much more "colorful", "fun" and "emotional", I think it's mainly because timbres become more natural and overall resolution of sound become higher (also bass control is become better)... only IMHO of course
Which DAC/amp are you using? While I agree that the highs are extended and detailed, I haven't found them sibilant... Especially with my CIAudio VDA-2, an analog sounding DAC.
mojolo,
iBasso DX100, for now out of it build in amp... will have LynxAudio HA-61 headphone amp ( http://lynxaudio.narod.ru/articles/Lynx_HA61b.pdf ) in about two weeks, but as a DAC I still plan on using DX100.
I love the TH600 for the past 2-3 weeks but got the big brother TH900 and big bro just does this just little better for what I looking for so I am selling the TH600 on eBay for those who might be interested.

Are you sure it's not just fluctuation in your subjective perception that's causing all this? It's pretty easy to just listen on one day with certain songs, at a certain time of the day, etc etc and have a different take on the same treble, compared to another day with an slightly different (physical and mental) setting and test tracks.

They were burning in in the shelf continuously night-and-day for about a 10 days with TARA Labs burn in CD on volume above normal, and I listened them for a short pediods of time on those days, also have my STAX SR-009 and UM Merlin as some reference sound to compare changing sound of TH-600... So of course you might be right that it's all my perception issues, but I like to think it's not

Good decision on upgrading to his brother. Anyway I'll keep the TH600 . It's a good headphone to determine your source and recording quality :rolleyes:.

Personally I like it more if either 1) a headphone has zero burn-in effects, or 2) a headphone seems to have a gradual and unidirectional burn-in trend. Having fluctuations in terms of performance would make it seem as though there are threats of driver reliability issues.

I know I need to. I've not run an add yet so I will need to figure out how you do it. Just been lazy to figure it out... haha... I think I'll work on it this evening.
Such a big decision to spend 1k on phones for me. Really want these. I guess I could always sell like you are if they weren't to my liking. As it did with Beyer T70s
How do TH600 compare to say beyer dt250 or mad dogs for monitoring/production? Worth the significant extra cost? More comfy, more low freq response, more detail, more versatile?
