[QUOTE="dingeth, post: 1021535, member: 21609"] I'm in the "mental burn-in" camp myself. Case in point: I recently had an HD800 with me for a few weeks on loan. At first I couldn't listen to them at my normal listening volumes as I found them a lot brighter than my normal headphones. After a few days though, I acclimatized to the sound signature and no longer found them piercing etc., and started enjoying them a lot more. Given that those headphones had probably a few hundred hours worth of playtime on them, there's no logical explanation why the headphones themselves would have undergone any sort of "burn-in" in my time with them, hence my personal feeling on the matter. I think our brains can adjust to almost any sound signature eventually and find them pleasant. Just my 2c... [/QUOTE]
