I guess that must be so they can break in...


That's the same thing i joked with Ian about.
Could you imagine how many soundproof rooms they would need to accomodate the number of speakers they send out each day? To "break in" each pair at 100 hours?
That would take a whole extra lineup of employees and a second factory!
