Oh I know this is quite a late reply but I thought I should anyway post this as this ay help many others looking for a proper burn in technique which is actually helpful and not damaging! I have tried this link to burn in two Headphones of mine and they have turned out to become much better...

Hi there, I have tried this link to burn in two Headphones of mine and they have turned out to become much better with this. I personally play this playlist on the burn in player for 4-5 hours each day and make sure that it doesn't go more than that. I am sure you will love the results...

hey thanks for the reply. I did try it and for the first few times it was weird. But then you get the hang of it and how to do it in less time. Though doing it that way surely pulled the remote and mic up so it was difficult to have a clear conversation with someone in the phone. But yeah, it...

Hey Bhushan and others who will stumble upon this thread..... I got mine from an authorised dealer in Mumbai known as Electronic Emporium. There is this guy known as Jerry who takes care of Shure there. I got my Special Editions at 7300 Rs (taxes included). Unbelievable price, isn't it? I would...

Thanks for your reply. I was looking into them. They sure seem to be the better ones but I can't buy them anywhere in India. So they are pretty much out of my options list. Can anyone please compare the ones on the list for me?

Out of many headphones I have tried, AE2 have the ultimate comfort level. As for QC15, go for them if noise-cancellation is a priority for you and you have extra money to throw away. Rest in everything else, AE2 beats QC15 hands-on..........Hope this helped!    Peace

Thanks a lot for your response. Can u let us know if you have tested the soundstage on these headphones? Also M50s are known to have a muddy bass for some tracks..what do u have to say about it?

I have been doing a lot of research into MUSIC (yes! all kinds....all formats...best players...best earphones...best headphones). I came across these three pairs of headphones to go with my new Cowon C2 player: 1. Audio Technica ATH-M50 2. Sennheiser HD 25-1 II 3. Shure SRH840   I...
