Hey guys. I did a few searches but nothing came up specific to the tonal characteristics of the Klipsch S4. I just picked these up yesterday and the only headphones I have to compare them to are my Sennheiser 595's and Shure e2c's. The Klipsch sounded very warm and crisp compared to my more neutral 595's. After about 3 hours of listening the S4's are now just completely muddy. I'm using an ipod classic 7g with a dock out to a headroom airhead (4-aaa newest). My question is being a newbie to the audiophile scene, are the Klipsch S4's going to sound drastically different after the burn in process, and is the muddiness normal? I have about 40 hours on my 595's and they went through a muddy phase too but are now just airy and crisp and a pleasure to listen to. Also, i've been using my S4's with the airhead (which has about 40 hours on it so far) and it definitely sounds noticeably more crisp through the amp, but my e2c's are just so much more defined. Sorry for the silly question and thanks for any help!
