Recently received MD sennheiser 6xx phones. The 5-disc CD player was set up for random repeat. Music runs from classical to jazz to rock. Volume turned up to just above comfortable max listening. Player runs five or six hours a day for awhile. My take on it is this: Any hardware that has moving components has three stages of life. New: Parts are stiff and have a particular sound, good or bad. Intermediate: Parts are broken in and sound remains unchanged for its useful life. End: Parts are worn to point of failure and sound changes for the final time. As for headphones, I haven’t found they change much through their functional life, and the difference from new to broken in is small. Regardless of one’s personal experience, it is important to push new phones to know if they are going to make it to stage two without failure so they can be replaced accordingly. For break in purposes it probably doesn’t matter the music, so long as a full range of tone hits the headphones.
