How bad they sounded before breakin. I bought $1500 headphones and expected dynamic and detailed, great headphones. When I got the headphones I was very impressed by the phones themselves and everything that came with them. This was definitely a high end set of cans.The way they sounded was disappointing to say the least. There was hints to how good they could sound but the bass was dry and weak, the treble barely there and the midrange was inconsistent. Listening to them made you feel like you were ripped off.
I was advised to wait until they were broken in and that the break in would take 100 hours. So I hooked them up to my work system where I have over 3000 songs, most of which are 24/96 or better, and let it play, set to random.
The result was a different set of headphones. The bass was deep and full, the treble was open and resolved and the midrange was clear and realistic. In short they sounded how the reviews said they sound.
Just wait,
