There's a reason why I get you to fill out a form:

That means I get a better idea of your needs and wants instead of guessing.

Well, my Samson SR850 arrived unexpectedly today. The delivery was free and it was meant to come Thursday next week. It even came before my soundcard, which had super speedy delivery on it. Oh well.

First impressions are a little bit off, obviously I am going off on-board audio and the headphones have not burned in yet. I'm going to keep them playing all day tomorrow and tonight in hopes that they will be ready by Monday when my sound card arrives.

Anyone know how long it should take to burn in these headphones and what volume I should use to do the burn in?

Lots of people would say the burn-in process should be done at volumes slightly higher than what you're used to and for about 50-100 hours. However, those numbers are pretty arbitrary and no one really knows.

One better alternative with a similar "moar bass" sound signature to the Beats, without the ridiculous cost, would be the Sony XB series.

Break-in is a more accurate term as it's the driver that gets broken in much like a new pair of shoes /pedantism

Guys i need help to deciding my futureheadphone.

Budget : Rp 1.000.000, +500k if it will be amazingly better
Music Tastes : Pop standard 60s like Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, Perry Como etc, also some Jazz standard, some Rock
I like details but not overwhelming the vocal
Swan m10 & Xonar DX, its seems i will use onboard or a cheap amp
Home, but i dont like another people can hear what i hear.
Im buying here, http://www.headphoneku.com/kategori/Headphone or http://www.kantong-kresek.com/category.php?id_category=54
