Had these phones for 10 days already using least 8 hrs a day. I noticed that treble became more laid back and mellow. Is that normal or a defect?

Thanks for your inquiry. Headphones, like many mechanical products, may have a break-in period. As the headphones begin to break in they are supposed to sound better and more relaxed. It is entirely possible that your headphones have a different tonal balance than when they were received because of the hours of use. People cite break-in periods of vastly varying lengths, but we typically recommend 40 hours of use before critical listening. We hope you find this information helpful! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

"Dear Sir/Madam，Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.Could you tell us the sound source you are using?The sound experience will vary depending on the power of sound source used, HE-400 works well with our player like HM650,HM802 and HM901, as per the feedback from customers.If you are using a amp, generally the outputs of it should above those of german (LEHMANN).Any questions feel free to contact us.Best regards,AlvinHifiman customer service team"

I use my cans without any EQ or enhancement, soany change in tone or depth is instantly apparent. The brake in was quick & noticeable, (about 2 days) but the smoothing factor is still ongoing after a month & a half. If mellow is your target be happy, 'cause mine continue to have subtle changes one day & then back to previous the next. It drives me crazy so I plan to mod the pads again for peace of mind.

As you may know, your headphones as other equipment needs a time to break in, but normally this means always a progresive better sound... I hope that's what happened with your phones... Manuel

i found the same,it is considered normal practice to 'Beak in" the phones.I hope you're using a headphone amp. (i recommend the Schiit Magni) The things really blossom then.

I never experienced this issue and I've had several pair of these ear buds. I love them.

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

They do a bit, but they are over-the-ear phones, so they tend to do that, and they might bother you. I have a pair of Klipsch of the same size and style, and they kill my ears as they press too hard, and the material is not soft enough.The material on the ML is so soft that you don't feel them to be as hard on your ears. If you have a big head (I do) they might not be great for hours of non-stop use. I love the sound and the feel of the material but I can't use them for more than 3 hrs straight. Of all the noise canceling phones that I have ever had (over 10), the best, and more comfortable to me are Bose. But again, it is just might be the shape of my head and ears :) They do a bit, but they are over-the-ear phones, so they tend to do that, and they might bother you.

Yeah the sound is good. I just bought a cheap pair of Maxell earbuds to replace and the AGPtek sound better. But I wouldn't get them. The batteries wear out too soon. I wore mine 5 days a week for around 3-4 hrs a day avg charging while I drove. They lasted maybe 5 mo.

No ... and that was a concern when I ordered the buds because I have had problems with long term use of other buds while gaming. I did have to get use to the wider and louder range of the buds (I had to adjust my settings)but so far they seem comfortable for long term use.

Hi Jay. I don't thinks so. I have mine pretty well and I've never heard this kind of problem in 500. Maybe you can search it on Head-FI.org. I think sibilance should be unnatural in any headphones at this price... Does it happen for all piano and sax or just one song? Try more songs and make sure it's headphone's problem or not, and if so, burn in it more hours. If still, wish you a good luck...

That sounds like a defect pair because my ear buds didn't have that issue and are still doing fine after the past few months.

I don't think its a defect, so much as a battery saving function of the radio. My smartphone will produce a much lesser speaker output, when running on battery, vs being plugged into power. That's my guess.

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

The options I see for the ring are simply Hi - Low -Off. I haven't tried to set the quality of the ring sound. (Right now, I'm keeping this phone as a spare, since I like the Plantronics T10 better for most purposes.)

I have the white ones but I will say that is probably normal due to the effect of the light on the different types of plastic. Same as under black light. When I wear mine under black light the certain parts of the headphones look lighter than others.

That sounds like a source output issue (either the audio source equipment or the audio file). The Crossfade LPs deliver extraordinary base. Their 50mm drivers help ensure crystal clear, heavy base, without the distortion associated with overloading smaller drivers. I plug mine into my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the phone automatically reduces the default volume to 60% to prevent ear damage, because turning it up to 100% might hurt.

The T51p is pretty true to sound. If a song has deep bass it is produced with good impact without distortion or bloat. When I first got them I didn't like the way they sounded but after about 48 hours of continuous burn in, I love the way they sound. You can hear all the subtle details in the music and everything is crystal clear. It's one of the best portable headphones I own.

I notice very little noise, if any when walking around. Microphonics is an issue though, under abnormal circumstances. Running or fumbling around for something in your pockets for instance. Personally, I've never been annoyed by or have noticed this particular issue under normal circumstances.

They say these head phones need to be broken in and until they are the bass and treble will stand out. After the break in period (about an hour for mine) they were great.
