Most of it is utter ********.

A driver does indeed 'loosen up' a bit in the first few hours of use however
with most likely the greatest effect in the low bass. See their results for Fs.
A little like 'running in' a car engine.

There may well be something to it in having an extended 'running in' too
including at quite high power levels. Note that running in a car engine is not
dissimilar again. Take it easy at first and then carefully run it up and down
through its performance range.
