I just got a brand new pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi Pro 5 for Channukah last night. When I used them straight out of the box, I noticed they were pretty muddy sounding. I remember when researching for IEM's that one or two review mentioned a "burn-in" period of about 100 hours for these. Right now, I have them connected to my iPod playing in a sock drawer and plan to keep it there until Friday night/Saturday morning. When I pulled them out today, I noticed that they sounded much more at ease and less muddy than they did yesterday. I also researched a lot of info. about "burning in" headphones and many claim that it is a myth and it's yr brain that gets used to the soundstage, not the headphones actually improving themselves. Well, I've only actively listened to them for around twenty minutes since I got 'em, so I doubt my brain is doing that much adjusting, but I suppose I could be wrong?
Anyway, should I continue to do it, or am I wasting time? If I should continue doing it, how much longer?
I just don't get why my music should sound so not up-to-par with $190 phones.
