Burning in my headphones. What would be best, heavy metal, death metal, bass heavy hip hop? References wanted

I gotta make this post long enough so it won't get deleted...

I'm using a smartphone with the headphones connected to the headphone jack. I'd use my portable amp, but it doesn't have an hp jack input and the phone needs to use the USB-C port for charging.

Okay, got impatient and pulled the Q45 off the wine bottle and checked them out. 😊

They still don't sound good to me. I think their muddy bass or sub bass is interfering with the upper mids and highs.

I put them back in their case and shelved them. No amount of burn in is going to fix muddy bass.
