My two cents... When I got into this hobby about 15 years ago, I had no idea such a thing as "burn in" existed. I had a pair of mediocre ATH headphones as I slowly built my system, and I recall one day after about a month of listening that they sounded warmer and brighter than usual. I played the same songs from the weeks leading up to this moment, and everything sounded a smidge better. I shrugged it off. Fast forward 15 years and I'm finally in a place where I can buy some nice components and what not and now it seems I can't perceive it (all my equipment is different now though)... So I'm not going to round up a posse and chase down infidels who believe in it, or those who do not, because I believe I have objectively experienced it, and also objectively not experienced it. Not sure why. Maybe it's all psychosomatic (though, to be fair, the first time I noticed it, I had no clue what it was...). Again, my just my $.02. Flame on if you must. 😉

DanTreviewOne thing people forget to take into account is earpads coming slowly looser, changing the distance from headphone to ears. Very significant. Other than that, there's the brain adjusting which is imo, 99% of what people consider "burn-in"...
