I feel the same about the 81 at the moment.
4 of my 5 electric guitars have EMG bc I hate soldering and the quick connect system is a blessing. 57/66, 81/85. 81/85 and SLV/SLV/58 (not 85). I adore the 57/66. Superb pickups in my Tremonti.
Now those 81s... Sometimes, when I have my Metalcore or Extreme Metal phases I love them and get out everything I want from them. Right now my thoughts are "Damn, these sound so weak. The Carl Wheezer of pickups".
Just power through. As @DrewJD82 said: Wait a month and they will be the best pickups ever, again. Fresh strings help, too.
