Just what the world needs another thread about burn in...
My brand new HD650 replacements came yesterday, had a listen with stock cable and thought ok these are going to need quite a few weeks playing to open up.
I remember from my last pair they took a while to start sounding nice and musical. Changing to a well burnt in silver dragon cable, the phones sound really good like the well run in pair I remember.
I can’t attribute the significance in quality to the silver dragon cable purely. I can only put this down to the stock cable needing to burnt in, then switching to a superior cable that was well run in.
Therefore I would conclude that the stock cable is the culprit in headphone burn in, at least with my experience with the HD650’s.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
