I recently bought a pair of these thanks to recommendations here. While the sound is really good I noticed that the sound will distort at times at around 75% volume when my old pair didnt. The thing is it doesnt always happen. Is it a defect or do I just need time to burn them in? Thank you.

 are you using the same source? same music? ect when in comparison to the old ones?

Yes

Ok well being they are dynamic micro drivers I would say do some burn in. Like 2-300 hours of volume a little louder than your normal listening level.

After that then see if there is still some distortion. If so then I would say there is a problem. You might not need that many hours of burn in but I would just be sure.

Could also be that your noticing distortion from the source or low quality file that your old headphones didn't reveal before

yeah that is what i was getting at but since he said he was using the same source and music the new ones probably just need a good burn in

I was thinking the same thing about low quality files as I have a dozen or so youtube rips. I found some lossless files instead and some files corrected the problem whike some not. It seems ilthe problem only occur on very low frequency bass notes

I would definetly try burnning them in then. You can always call up shure adn see if they will do smoething about it.
