Some "audiophiles" (the type who think changing a 2 metre mains lead can improve sound, ignoring that the electricity travels hundreds of miles to get to your house) claim that "breaking in" headphones and speakers improved the sound.  Franky, I've never noticed any difference except maybe that after a while the headphones mold to fit your head slightly better.

Or perhaps their ears become "broken in"?
