Just bought a pair of Grado 125's. Very bright and almost harsh on the
high end, but remarkably clear with excellent instrument separation. I'm
wondering if they have to burned in as my speakers did? Will they even out
with time? Anyone with personal experience with these or similar
headphones, please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Matt

They are quite efficient and revealing, so they can sound that way
with some recordings/equipment. Maybe a good excuse for tone controls?
Compared to a pair of similarly priced Sennheisers, the Grados are
more clear and realistic, but are also more revealing of source
problems. Bass is similar, but less muddy sounding. I don't think they
are going to change a lot over time, but I am not a headphone user per
se, so someone who uses them regularly can answer that aspect of your
question best.
