It's not me. xD! I live on Mars in Michigan.

Also, I'm of the "burn in is 90% mental" belief, but to each their own. 

Really, at this point, I'm just trolling cute.

I think you can appreciate it.

My 500s? 

A good 200-300 hours. They were my daily driver for a good 3-4 months.

My Somics?

80-90 hours. I got them about a month and a half ago.

 

 
OK, thanks, by tommorow my Somics with have over 80hrs burn in/listening on them I will check back to see if they are better than my S500's with 200-300 hrs on them.  Hope the Somics change that much over night!  That would be delightful!

Just get the Somic's put the HM5 pads on, and EQ 30hz up 2db, and you got the same sound as my modded S500's!  So easy even a cave man can do it!  LOL

Our Somics/HA-S500s will have identical hours on them?

Freaky!

Here was my basic burn-in progression.

0-30: Upper-mids prominent and shouty
(PAD CHANGE TO HM5)
30-40 hours: Upper-mids still prominent, treble a bit prominent as well
40-60 hours: treble simmers down
60-80 hours: Pad change to 840, bass boosts up, upper mids simmer down.

The bass is getting less boomy, and the treble's getting a bit brighter, but that seems to be more a psychological adjustment than anything.

That's root beer, right?

Anyway, a few people from the Somic thread should be getting their hands on the 82 MT soon. I'll see if they'd mind posting impressions here. Also, no word back yet from Somic on the difference between the PRO and the MT.

Pissssh, who drinks root beer nowadayz. That is some bubbly martinellis baby!!! I stay classy meng.

Thirsty in the literal sense, or thirsty in the Kanye-West-Mercy sort of way?

Also, am I the only person who is really looking forward to Dsnuts impressions of these EFis or what?

Ouch. Buzzkill on being that thirsty for Lasers. Hopefully the new album quenched a bit better.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience with Awei IEMs? They give frequency response graphs on their website, something that I find pretty gutsy for a $10 IEM manufacturer to do.

Cash, I tried the HM5 pads with no dampening on the back.......bass is perfect for me now, it is equal to my S500's bass with the HM5 pads and the dampening material behind.  Now the Somic's have the same quantiy bass with my S500, right where I like it.  That improved the high end as
well, with better extension and cymbals and high hats are brought out a bit better.  More balanced sound now.  I have found some 88mm round Audio Technica pads on ebay, I am going to give them a try as well......I can be fine with the HM5 pads, nice fit and comfy!

 
Please let us know how you like these round 88mm AT pads. I just received my Somic and don't much like the stock pads. Thanks! :)
