That is what I have noticed also. Recently I bought a pair of ATH-A900X and can't hardly believe how much they changed within about the first 10 hours. By far the most noticeable of all the phones I've used. After that I am noticing no further perceptible change. They've shaped up to be great headphones and scale well with amplification. Quite a bargain.
My HE-400 were a little treble hot (sizzly) and settled down nicely after about 10 hours, no further differences have been perceived.
My HE-500 have sounded the same as when they came out of the box......phenomenal.
I haven't noticed it very much with my Q701, D5K, or Grados either. I am sure they are affected but the change will come over a long period of time that won't be noticeable.
Uhm, this is a very discussed topic.
My thinking is that it have more noticeable effects in some headphone models over others.
