Since the EH2200 features are closed design headphones, very little sound should leak out. Over a few days, every time you think about it - press play and let the headphones burn baby burn.

After burning the headphones in, it's time to give them a listen. As for sound - a significant improvement over your pre-break-in listen. Guitars should not sound harsh, bass guitar - a fuller sound, and the low bass opens up considerably.
