“Typical burn-in time? What is the typical burn-in time for these HD-558 headphones?”

• Burn in isn't real. In reality, it's your brain adjusting to the sounds the headphones make much like how your brain takes a few days to get used to new glasses or how beer tastes better the longer you drink it. These are super relaxed in sound, they should sound good almost immediately I'd you like relaxed, warm sound. Worst case, a couple of days max.

• I was not listening to traditional audio with them. But I noticed music tracks tended to mellow after a few solid days of play.

• Depends. My friend played his playlist on them for a week straight at 90% volume and expedited the process. Mine are about a mth old and still breaking them in.

• No real burn-in time required. This idea is a myth that won't go away.
