E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I'm disappointed. I've only had 30 minutes or so with them, so hopefully things will improve, but I honestly think my Bose QC15's sound better after doing some side by side comparisons. I certainly didn't think I'd say that, and the QC15's were a gift more for noise cancelling than sound quality.
I'll admit, I'm a noob, but am I doing something wrong?
Many people say you can speed the burn-in process by playing pink noise on the headphones for several hours, but it is better to not play it continuously for really long stretches of time so you don't over-work the drivers. There's a thread on this at Head-Fi at:

I am planning on using the track found at: http://www.jlabaudio.com/burn.php to burn mine in when they arrive. I'll set up my computer to play the track for 2-4 hours a night for several nights and track the results.
Definitely play with the fit and placement of the earphones on your head as well. Several people have reported that they like the sound better when the earphones are pushed forward so that the back of your ear is touching or nearly touching the back of the cup, though others have differed.
My only problem so far is that they aren't comfortable. Like at all. The headband at the top is super thin and my ears start to hurt after like a half hour. Going to continue experimenting with different positions. They sound great, but these are my first pair of nice headphones, so I have nothing useful to compare to.
