Burn in is not a magic pill. Plenty don't even believe in it. Your headphones will not sound all that different after 100-500 hours. You might get more familiar with them and appreciate what they doing, but don't expect them to turn into something else.
I would find a decent stereo to try them on. If they don't sound any better to you then stick with something a bit cheaper.

My laptop sounds pretty good, actually. Sounds pretty bland regularly, but it has a button called "Cinema Pro", which drains up a lot more battery, but supports up to 7.1 surround, but I don't have anything to compare that to, so you guys are the audio pros here. While not what I was expecting, they DO sound better than my other headphones on my laptop, where as on the mp3, I can't really tell a diff.

How come you are using WAVs instead of FLAC? FLAC is the same as WAV, only in a smaller lossless file format.

I listen to about anything. I got hip-hop, jazz, pop (fk what anyone says i can get down to Miley), j-pop, videogame music, ect.
As for the .wavs, my mp3 player doesn't support .flac, so I just convert them to .wav so I can put them on my mp3 player.

My friend wanted to borrow them for a day and sent me a text saying they sound amazing on his Iphone. Would this fall into the category? I'm pretty new to this stuff, so I'm not really sure. I'll be listening to his iphone though when I come to pick them up.
If those go well, would you suggest I get an Ipod? I've been looking to replace this mp3 player anyways, as it only has 4 gigs (sony walkman). Would Ipod classics sound as good as Iphones (like do they have the same hard/software when it comes to sound). If so, i'll pick up a classic (more to my liking than I touch, as I won't have to take it out of my pocket anytime I want to change song and can get a much larger memory size.
