Maybe the disclaimer is there to allows the brain to 'adjust' and get used to the presentation of the speaker.

Not a nice way, imho.It could be just a nice way of saying "Calm down, give them a chance, you'll like them" But it does add to audio myths in the process.
Gonna have to use this line...I put that in my dating profiles "You have to give me 5 days and 250 hours for me to settle in. Please don't judge me within that time"
250 is as of nothing compared to the reigning world champions, Audio Research who recommend 650 !
They don’t mention ‘settling in’ though.

PS, cynical, moi?
Yep, that's called burning ears in... the best being listening at 130dB SPL, then as you're going deaf, you've adjusted all right!Maybe the disclaimer is there to allows the brain to 'adjust' and get used to the presentation of the speaker.
