Let me clarify, this topic isn't about burn-in.
Just recently I was listening to my Shure 530 and my friends AKG 701 and I was satisfied.
But as I had to go to the library to study (as all students are supposed to do. Lol),
I decided to bring a really low end Sony earphone. (low end as in those you can just simply get off HMV).
For the first 5 minutes, the sound was HORRIBLE. The bass was, like a whoopie cushion. The mids and vocals were too sharp (I was using the bass booster eq on my iPad. LOL)
But after an hour or 2 of tolerating this, i found the music to be strangely acceptable.
Is it just me or is there a medical/scientific reason/logic to this?
