    I just got my V7 Vivids as well for my Conductor GT. Plugged all 6 in. Wasn't easy. Pins do not line up easily like the V6. I let them heat up for 2 hrs and started listening to my favorite demo tracks on my Hifiman HE1000SE. Holy fk balls! It's like a completely different amp and headphones. I thought it would be subtle. Subtle is not what I instantly heard. It's a huge upgrade in every way! Vivid and just stunning is what I'm hearing. I didn't think it could get much better. Boy was I wrong. I've let them burn in for 3 days now. I'm not detecting any major change from day 1. They are incredible out of the box. Best $400 I've spent in a long time. V7 Pro for the win! 😃

    The V7s don't need any burn in as such - they sound great straight from the box, but there is a chance they could improve slightly with use. So glad.youre loving them, Clint! They're a big upgrade over the V6s.
