This is what I wanted to originally know. Hopefully, Monster will release the white solo HD's soon. (only the black ones are currently being sold at apple) If no one is willing to review them, I will. AFTER they are burned in! There's a BIG difference from listening to best buy's demo.
Actually if you think about it the best buy demos have probably been in stores for months so they probably have been burned in by the time most people listen to them. And to be honest I do believe in burn in and have never heard a BIG difference from out of the box to 50-100 hours afterwards, if anything it just tamed down or opened up certain frequencies that gave the sound a slightly more balanced and natural sound then when they were first taken out of the box. So to be honest if something sounds like a $50 headphone at best buy you may be lucky if they sound like a $75-$100 headphone after a burn in period which still makes them over priced and there is much better out there for the money. I can tell you for a fact that the $300 beats I heard at best buy would NEVER sound anywhere close to my DT880/600 ohm that I paid $300 for. So I know you are saying no one has listened to them fully burned in and is just trashing them to begin with. Well that is because most of the posters on this forum know what burn in does to a headphone and can tell from an initial listen that these headphones are overpriced and will never compete with the headphones that are in their price range coming from your more well known and top tier manufacturers.
