The reason burn in works is because the glues some places use are flexible or not flexible depending on the sound quality they need. The slightly flexible glues that hold drivers and such in place usually have A sound difference when they are "burned in" but it's reallu just the drivers and other parts settling into the glue. So yes burn in is a real thing and some headphones do and some done. Some benefit and some don't.

Some speakers use some really stiff rubber. Check Out the Dayton 1200 12 inch sub that rubber on that sub is so thick it wont move it takes a long time for that crap to loosen up the sub barley moves at first and the bass is very low until it loosens up. Then its too damn loud and pisses my Neighbors off big time.

Good speaker setup for $250-ish?

I tend to prefer balanced sound signatures. I'm just gonna have these sitting on my desk, to the sides of my monitor. I'll sit 2 ft away from them and I'll usually have them at a low volume. If using a DAC/Amp will greatly improve my sound quality I'
