  In my experience, BA drivers (assuming that's what inside the Savant) don't need burn in. I don't know if it's just me, but I can't really hear any difference from my past BA driver IEMs before and after burning those in.
 
I believe in psychological burn in, though. That, and the "honeymoon ('oh god this is the best') phase" we get once we listen to brand new gears are true, IMO.

There is the honeymoon phase but also, you need time for your brain to readjust to a new sonic signature.
 
I find myself, whenever I come from using a bass heavy headphone for a prolonged period of time, neutral headphones sound thin and bass light when in fact they are not...

Even if the iem uses BA(s), there is still wiring and possibly crossover components as well - so the mere presence of the BA does not automatically rule out there being burn-in changes with the whole iem.  (I agree that there may not be, but that requires a sperate argument, not just a question-begging assertion).
 
I usually do a quick listen, then go back to my "original" item, while the new one is being played (burned-in) unaudited.  Then I go back and spot check the new one - so I really fail to see how "getting used to it" explains the situatation, when there has not been continuous or frequent listening to the item in question.  It does not prove the point, but it does question the generic knee-jerk reaction

IMO, the Noble 3 is the only IEM in their catalog that can be described as sufficiently v-shaped. Punchy, strong bass with prominent, shimmering highs. If that's your cup of tea, the Noble 3 is right up your alley.

Which in the lineup would be best for vocals. Looking for a universal that renders vocals as good as or better than the 334.
