I guess how burn-in process was done really plays an important role.. See, mine just improved in the bass department at the end and mids are still mediocre...

Give your cans 50 hours of loud pink noise and if there is no difference then just enjoy them. If it still improves, keep adding 24 hours until you notice no more change in sound

Yes, totally agree.. 555's improve grand after/during break-in

Yeah, my Little Dot MK III literally strengthens the bass and the overall hi-fi sound.. An amp is really a plus for these cans

Sorry about all my separate replies, I guess I've got to multi quote from now on

Since I have neither the means nor the will to argue with that, so I'll accept it as it is
