Play music. Anything really. Some people use pink noise. If you are not wearing them, turn the volume up just above a comfortable listening level but not too loud. How long...as long as you want really. No set time but seems that most people are reporting that some changes take place around the 10 hour mark up to around 200 hours. After that, anything that is going to happen has happened.

Put them on your head and listen to your favorite music. Do this as often as possible.

Do these ever go for sale as used for a good price? I found a pair of mint x1's for 175 but Id like to try the x2's if possible but hate spending double

  I do not find the cable microphonic at all...

 
Except that it is. Very.
 
Your shoulder rubs it and it just makes a ton of noise, I might go grab the V-moda cable with the angled connector so that it goes a little off from my shoulder.

Maybe we wear different clothes...my cable rubs my shoulder and makes no noise

I agree...they are. It's largely the fabric covering that causes it I suspect. Not that all fabric covered cables do that. Obviously the cable underneath is not the best as far as shielding. I guess that's the cost of having a really flexible stock cable. I don't tend to notice it though when listening to music. I plan to recable though...not because of that but to shorten the cable and to have a 1/4" plug.

You must be special then...lol... because mine are very microphonic as well and many others report the same issue.

 

[guido]

Definitely worth recabling...I find the stock cable way too long and will probably ft a 1\4" Neutrik on it....I wish I could try these headphones in balanced mode but that would entail some butchering...

  I messaged them a few days ago and haven't yet received a response.

 
Yep.  Mine doesn't show up as shipped, does yours?

That we know.  Whether or not he'll fulfill orders that were made before he closed up is the question.  Prospects are not great.

Nope. Considering it's meant to arrive in 3 - 7 days, I'm not that hopeful. 
 
As this is my first Ebay purchase, I've been reading up on what to do if nothing turns up. Seems fairly straightforward.

Package is at home waiting  for me to leave my stupid job.  Plan on burning in with some tunes whilst I listen and enjoy them.  Probably won't do any sort of mini review, but we'll see how much better they are than my HD598's.

Do any of you know if there is any way to expedite stuff with this Ebay Seller? Waiting until the estimated delivery date of Feb 27th really screws me over. He hasn't responded to any messages at all and I even tried pulling his phone number from paypal but it goes straight to voice mail. Just wanna cancel the transaction and be done with it and try to find a different way to get these headphones.

In the past I've found they'll make you wait until AFTER the supposed delivery date to begin the process...
