Headphones and speakers are mechanical assemblies. Like any mechanical assembly that moves there is some wear created by friction as the moving parts rub against each other causing a wear or polishing effect. It's going to happen just like in a new car engine. I'm sure this is measurable but to what effect this early break in period has on audible performance I'll leave for someone else to chime in on. I personally believe all speakers and headphone will have some audible difference after the moving parts finish wearing in, just can't say if it's always notiicable in a frequency the human ear can decipher

oldthorI'd love to see which parts on a driver are being polished by friction. There's literally nothing rubbing against anything. The moving bits are suspended in a magnetic field. The surround and spider flex. That's it. In a balanced armature there's the flexing on the armature and diaphragm. No rubbing, no polishing.
