Yes, I had that problem too. I've had an A40 TR since 2017 (which still works perfectly) and I bought a second, latest-generation one. I found the new one inferior to the old one. I left it in the box and I'm keeping it to replace the first one in case the old one dies. But I felt a bit silly because I didn't like the sound of the new one, and like you, I forgot about the break-in period. I used it for about a week and now they both sound the same. Apparently, speaker break-in isn't just an urban legend.
I’ve had A40’s for 3 1/2 years and my mic broke after the first 90 days , and they are definitely not the most comfortable headset on the market. I don’t think their build quality is terrible but they aren’t worth the price. They really don’t have an Audio profile I’d say is much better than a 50/50$ headset from Amazon.
Then the fact that they sell the mixer separately for an extra 100$+ dollars when the headset was already close to 300$ was insane for me at the time.
I’d rather just buy a brand like sennheiser at that point. I’m ready for a new set within the month.
I own a set and have enjoyed them with only complaint being I hit the swap to another hdmi hitting a button at my fault. I’d have kept using my old a40s I bought for mw2 on ps3 if my Xbox had an optical port.
