i'v had the pleasure of owning my very own W5K for 3weeks now. believe it or not, im still trying to discover its "true" sound signature. b4 i got it, a bud of mine has been "burning" it with a burn-in software for about 2weeks.
his impressions of the cans were that its "..not bassy..very quick..", IOW thin and treble oriented. the nite i got it, i 2made similiar comments. although the highs were exquisite, the bass were highly lacking atleast compared to my well worn HD600+mogami. thin sounding was what i wrote down.
the next afternoon, i tried it again and i almost fell out the chair. I GOT BASS! and not just bass but quality bass! so...3 weeks later, the W5k sound is still changing on me in the sense that the sound has been opening up and improving since.
so..2cut it short, YES! headfon burn-in do exist atleast for some headfons. the difference is 2dramatic for me to deny its existence. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
ps:but ofcoz, it could be just a case of pyschoaccoustics (or just pyscho..
). just kidding folks, just kidding
