There is no way they are muddy. So far from it.

I feel that the real burn-in is that of your brain, which will naturally adjust to the new headphone over period of time (in my opinion). |

One of the reasons I got IEMs was to combat having to hear people's "s" words in public. I draw in public a lot and some people pronounce their "s" words in a way that nauseates me. Probably some of you guys have the same quirk. These IEMs have helped a lot, but I can still hear the "s" (sibilance?) sometimes. So would different tips be helpful? |

I can't imagine how I could listen to these before. Anyone who does the flip mod and finds their TF10s extremely lacking should double check the cable polarities, as this could mean the difference between giving these up or keeping them. |
