Ya maybe I cant refute. Difficult though to account for burn-in perception not possibly caused by psychological adjustments or pad positioning particularly with Grado.
That's headphone audio life! For me, the setup that sounds celestial one day can sound infernal on another day. When that happens .... workout #3 for the day ....
.Contradictory to your earlier post where you said, “so it cant be brain burn-in.”:
I dont get the custom meme. Let me try to understand your commentary.:I guess (and it's only a guess) that they tune their headphones as a unit with the cables. Different cables can throw off that balance they want their headphones to have. I for one am glad that i cannot change the cables on my Grados, one less thing to worry about. I know i would experiment with lots of different cables if i could just swap them, costing me lots of time and money.
Grado can keep the same cable. Just make it detachable.I never said there are no psychological effects. There are days when all or just some of my Grados sound off to me. And there are days they all or just some sound great. But that's something different than not being impressed by a new headphone and then let it run for 200 hours and then it sounds much better/smoother/whatever. It happened too many times to just be my head.

They can keep the cable just send out the headphones
Well you want Grados with detachable cables. And i pointed out what might be a reason they don't sell Grado headphones with detachable cables. Nothing more, nothing less.
No i don't like/need detachable cables. And where did i say that complaints are bad? I just find them entertaining. And no, i am not upset at all. But you seem a little.
In this case i mentioned it can't be "brain in". You know listening to a brand new Grado, not liking it, then playing music on it for 150 hours then listening again and liking it. Where is the time for my brain to adapt if i didn't listen?
Yes, there is… your brains expectations were set with the previous contact. The play time alone did not change the driver… otherwise it would be really hard to voice a headphone.
Well i envy you. You know things and you're confident in teaching people. And you save a lot of time because your headphones are always fully ready for listening to straight out of the box!
Hmmm. I doubt you would consider that as Grado’s or any headphone company’s position for not using detachable cables. Silly.
You called other headphones with detachable cables “basic beaches”, and you called me “serial forum complainer”. You also sorta implied that Grado sound “sweet” as-is, so using alternate cable from stock would effect the sound adversely. And I dont get upset over disagreements, I highly recommend dissent (its vital and necessary for progress) even though it is unwelcome at best in many arena.
There are many reasons for perspective to alter starting with limited human memory. What about what did you do with your time in between listens? If you listened to Senn HD600 prior to Grado then you might have a much starker reaction…
Its okay. We’re just discussing our opinions. Feel free to disagree but dont become offensive if some one respectfully doesnt agree with you.
Boring! And yes.
