Some people say "burn in" doesn't even exist, others debate what the best way to burn in headphones is. It's a bit of a controversial subject especially since what sounds good is a subjective thing.

Headphones just came today. They're great. Honestly, I can't compare them side-by-side, but I think these sound better than the $330 Sennheiser MM-550s I had previously purchased

Any of use a headphone amplifier? Is it necessary?



An amp is most certainly not necessary for these. Glad you like them though. I have been convincing all my friends to sell their overpriced Beats and to get a pair of these.

Trying to convince people that the Beats actually suck is a losing battle in my experience.

Not with college kids. When you can convince them that they can have superior sound quality for a fraction of the price it tends to get their attention.

Then they just go "but the Beats are cool man! Dr. Dre dude! It's a fashion statement that says I'm cool".
