Is there a definitive burn-in time with these headphones? I tried them this weekend with my Super Mini Moy, home cdp and pcdp (D-EJ925) against the Koss Sportapros and the Beyer DT770/80 Pro. The sound seemed sort of compressed, and not as defined as either of the other two.
I had heard these sound much better when amped, and I gotta say, I'm not hearing a huge difference amped vs. unamped so far, but i also have only logged about 12-15 hours on them at a decent volume with some good bassy music. Should I just give them a good burn-in time before passing final judgement? If so, how long? If there won't be a huge difference post burn-in vs. pre-burn-in, then I may return them, as I'm pretty durned happy with the Beyers and the Sportapros (the latter of which still sound best to me when first putting them on--- sorta disheartening knowing that a $24 pair of headphones can sound as good or better than a $150-200 pair of full-size cans..)
Anyone else had similar experiences with these headphones?
