Ultrasone hfi 580 and Sansa clip+

Well, I have my third Ultrasone burning in right now and not a single one of them has changed noticeably after the first hour.
- HFI-780: supposedly needs 210 hours. Yes, that's right, 210 hours! That's the consensus on head-fi and it's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
- Zino: Hasn't changed since I first plugged it in. Clamping force and positioning has a lot to do with the sound. Other than that, negative.
- PRO 900: Supposedly needs 400 hours. Changed a lot in the first hour. Went from very harsh to enjoyably harsh. After that, no change.
- HFI-580: I can tell of my friend's 580 that the highs mellow done a bit. But just very slightly.
 
People make it sound like burn-in gives you a new headphone. It's just wrong!
