Within the first few seconds of listening to the new HD700s, I knew they would need a bit of break-in. During bass, the drivers seemed rigid sounding. Initially, I let them play Final Fantasy Distant Worlds for 10 hours. It's mainly orchestral, but there are vocals, and a dynamic range of instruments. Since then, I've mostly been just burning-in by listening to them.

I purchased the first pair for $140. Then, the price dropped to $120. My wife started borrowing my Amps, so I decided to get some money back from the price drop, and get another pair.
There was approximately 1 week separating the purchases. The first pair, I did a burn in of just leaving it plugged in and shuffling through my music collection for 12 hours. Then, I just listened to them regularly. When I bought the 2nd pair, I did a comparison, and there was noticeable difference in sound. Bass hits on the new pair were a bit muddy on the new pair. Trebles also couldn't quite hit the really high notes, properly. They sound the same, now. Personally, break-in seems to be a real thing.
