Well, i just received my dt880s and yeah im impressed. £190 ($380) cheapest ive seen were £140 but they were never instock anywhere else ;p
So a couple of questions whats the reccomended burnin for dt880s and is there a reccomended track to repeat through it?
Will the burn in make much difference?
Can headphones get any better?
Are there any tracks that i SHOULD listen to on such headphones?
Is there anyway i can damage them by accident?
Is xfis crystalizer worth using...

the older version has more bass!

plus, the newer version i heard had serious sonic problems. maybe it was a defect, but i thought it sounded absolutely terrible with flabby bass, recessed mids, and scratchy highs

Yes, it'll make a pretty big difference.

Some have said the scientific reason that burn-in works is because of dust that settles on the wires & then "burns", etc... but I think that's poppy **** (c0ck for all those of you that can't read between the asterisks).

The real reason has more to do with the voice coil & diaphragm expanding, loosening.

Some people prefer pink noise, white noise, brown noise...

I just like to play bass-heavy music. . . just makes the most sense to me.

Funny, dude. Before I even read your post, I was thinking 770s. That's what I use, and I don't think you'll feel let down (and you'll love music through them

).

Hey stop talking about my ears!

I used to get something very similar to that when I guaged my ear and the lymph node under my left ear would swell up. Do you have earrings? You could be allergic to something.
