are these good for classical music? or what genre are they best for? i listen to about 35 percent rock 35 percent classical 20 percent hip hop/rap 5 percent other as in electronic/ indie. and how do they compare to say the RE0s or the MC5s or are the HJE900s on a completely different tier of comptition?

not tried classical on them but they sound very good with my 75 movie soundtrack set by  Ennio Morricone ,if thats any help , thats as close as i get to classical music for the most part 

 (classic western soundtracks )

It's a matter of taste. Some think these are great for rock(me), others don't. Although I think I'd rather have a neutral sound, the midrange is the frequency I mind least being recessed. For classical specifically I think I might prefer a flatter frequency response, but not at the sacrifice of bass to give weight to lower strings. What makes these great for classical personally is their great soundstage, sepration, imaging, and timbre. Your mileage may vary.

yeah.... i think i'll just have to try them.... if i don't like them i'll sell them for at least the same price or at least make a little bit of profit haha

Around 50-100 is generally recommended. I didn't burn in mine but there was a noticeable drop in the sibilance and the sound evened out a tiny bit. Yea you dont have to force the mesh off, wait for it to fall and then put the foam in
