These require lots of burn in time..It tames the treble (Which become very addicting sparkle) mids become much clearer( With unbelievable imagery I might add) and the bass gets tighter more textured (better controlled with deep rumble).. It is unfortunate AT does not do any type of burn in on these earphones at all. Out of box you guys get absolute raw drivers with a messy sound which kinda sucks for paying so much for earphones. I was not too happy with them on open box myself. I was seriously tempted to return them but I am glad I burned them in for a long time before making a final assessment on them. In this case the more effort into burn in will only help these come out in true form. Once they get the time, what you guys hear out of box will be gone.
I recently got the new Ibasso DX50 and if you guys heard what these earphones sound like on the dap it will be all worth it believe me. So ya they do take some time to ship up in the sound a lot longer than most in ears actually. Even when you think your done you are probably half way there lol. But it is kinda fun to hear them change. Burn them over night with the bassiest music in your collection( I use Drum an Bass) on a loop fairly loud, ( This is the crutial part loud but not distorting but should be audible when put down, cover with a jacket or something so it wont bother you) repeat this every night all day and night. Take a listen once in a while to hear how they start to clear up in the mids and such. If you keep at it, you guys will understand why these was given gold status in a prestigious Japanese audio mag..
Also I kinda mentioned this before but added coloration from your source does not do these earphones any good so do not add any bass enhancement or eq to your sources. The more neutral the source the better these will sound. These sound terrible on the Fiio X3 but sound heavenly on the Ibasso DX50.
