The general consensus is that balanced amature drivers don't need burn ins. It's possible though, that there may be a "cable burn in" of some sort, but it's just speculation (somewhat like burn in).

im not quite sure of this, how does balanced armature differ from dynamic?

Nope, I've had mine a year and they sound like the day I got them.

I believe dynamic drivers physically move when played whereas armature drivers do not...so there's nothing to break in. In either event, IEM components are so small it's not enough to make a difference. It's usually a case more of you liking the IEM's better over time...more of a mental thing.

I mean, really....if burn in were true why would it ALWAYS be assumed that the burn-in would result in an improved sound and not wear and tear?

i just made a post about this. i've noticed a sound improvement in mine very recently. the sound is a lot more clear, as clear as all the reviews describe. when i got this a month ago, i was a bit dissapointed with the er6i. it really wasn't as clear as i thought it would be. but lately i've noticed a sound improvement. so my answer is: yes, quite possibly.

It is also quite possible that your ears might get used to this sound now.
