Hey there Magic X. Through my experience, you are right about the burn-in affecting the sound of the IE8s. For me, the bass only started to make a serious appearance at 700 hours, while the drums gained impact only about 1000 hours into the burn-in. I feel that the IE8 actually has a very neat midrange and highs, but they are masked by a veil and are often overshadowed by the mid-bass hump. A good amp would serve to ameliorate the sound sig. Just tried it today with a RSA Mustang. Very promising. Just remember, patience is a virtue, my friend.
