I don't mean to incite a flame war, but i'm just curious if anyone ever had an instance where burn-in made your headphones sound worse instead of better. Please, indulge me.

Whether it is called degradation or not depends upon whether you like the new sound better or less! OK, I'm being a bit facetious. Perhaps, even if the sound signature is more pleasurable, you could say that the headphone is "degraded" if some measurements are worse (e.g. range reduced, even if you can't hear it). But you get the idea. |
