Grado SR60: Will these improve with burn-in

[sirnice]

I just received my new pair of Grado SR60.

How long does it take to burn-in the SR60?
How much improvement can i expect from the burn-in?

I'm not a Grado guy (Sennheiser for life!) but I don't believe Grados require much burn in. That said, they'll probably get a little better, but I wouldn't expect it to night and day (obviously).

90hours.
post burn-in headphones are significantly louder, i forgot how they soundbefore burn-in so i cant tell how much improvement post/be4 burn-in.

They definetly do burn in. My SR-60s were pretty shrill and overly bright right out of the box. I'd say 50 hours and they settled in.

Yeah they are very bright, thats the first thing I noticed when i first put them on. Man I'm spending too much money on headphones.
I've purchased 5 sets of cans within 2 months. UM2, E4C,HD595,SR-60 and MY MS-1 and iAudio X5 is coming next week

. I'm still searching for that perfect can (at least the one I'm satisfy with). So far the E4C does not disappoint for portable use. I'm looking for full size cans for home use.

I'll do a brief comparison on all of them when I get my MS-1.
I'm not much of a reviewer/writer but I'll tell you guys which I like the most.

They stay "bright" even after burning in but thats a Grado house sound from what I've heard (225, 325i). But it's no where near what it is out of the box. You'll find out if you're a Grado man or not

I fell in love with mine and I've got the feet tapping with classic/modern rock

For me, they definitely improved with burn in.

They DEFINITELY improve with burn-in. Mine have filled out nicely. I noticed that the bass really filled out after about a week of constant use. Now everything's all good

. I actually enjoy mine alot with R&B, also (just as much as rock).

A good 10 to 20 hours will make them sound great. Just burn them in with music.

If you've still got the comfy pads on them, you should also try them with bowls and/or flats.
