Got me a pair of these 2nd hand. It doesn't look like they've been used much though.

Well - I like them but there's very bright. Too much sibilence going on for long term listening. It makes them quite fatiguing to listen to.

As I said, I don't think they've been used much. Started on the old pink noise burn in to see if it improves matters.

Anyone else got a pair.

I've got a pair but they havent had chance to improve through use yet. They sound really good but my the only things im bothered about are the sound leakage (i expected this from a pair of open headphones) and the adjustable part which is a bit too loose for me.

You got a link to the pink noise burner?

This thing generates various tones for burning in:

Thanks for that

Well burn in seems to be doing something. The sibilance is less obvious now and the sound stage has changed a little. It was very immediate when I got them, giving an 'in head' sort of soundstage. It's a little different now: still close but low and high frequencies are giving a little sensation of space. The mid range is still firmly 'in head' though.

Hopefully this is part of the 'opening up' process that some people refer to and they'll continue to get better with use.
