What are you using to burn in? I'm using a pink noise app from the iOS app store that seems to work - i just leave the ipod touch on for 24 hours or so.

The sound stage is wide, and noticeably more definition in the low-end and the trebles are strong, and clear, but not overly bright. I love them.

Are they worth 3 times the regular price of Amperiors (MSRP)? From experience in home and car audio, my speaker spending hits it's diminishing returns point at ~$1000. Rather than upgrading through the price ranges, I just decided to go for my endgame. I'm glad I did. Now, I'll just roll tubes until I can afford a really nice headphone amp/dac.
