Example, a headphone which takes 100 hrs to burn in will do so in 4 days of continuous burn in, while listening to it for 2 hours a day or burning in for 2 hours a day will take 50 days.

beaney2000 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 hi.... i was wondering if burning in is just for headphones.... does it work for ear buds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3w_Typ3 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 yes but for ear buds maybe 2 to 3 hr of burning is enough !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sanjuro 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 My mp3s are always playing, so I just hooked my cans up, and adjusted the volume from barely audible, mildly audible, and audible, each for 24 hours. I heard it's good to burn in cans with the music you listen to, so it will be 'tuned' to your kind of music, which was essentially what I was doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekguan 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 I gues burning in is just about playing across all frequencies to loosen up the driver or whatsoever across all frequencies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kekekeke...............no offence but whoever told U this must be pulling your leg. As much as U would like to treat your cans like a baby and feed "him/her" with a certain kinda music to incalcate a nature U prefer, it's wholly a myth unless U're talking about a real human baby. Burn-in process is to smoothen electrons flow from one end of conductor to another (that's why most interconnects are claimed to be directional ie. input-output) and also to wear-in the the drivers akin to breaking-in your boots or running shoes for greater comfort and flexibility. In the context of cans, it's to condition the drivers to handle music optimally ie; better ebb and flow, voice coil movement throughout the specified frequency range. It's advised to ensure the drivers are able to handle all it's capable of and on this notion, a signal or burn-in track should optimally contain as wide an audio spectrum as possible. In terms of safety and if U're the patient kind during a burn-in process, I recommend a volume a few notches below your average or tolerable listening level. The latter applies to some whom I know listen to their cans at very low volume relative to my threshold. YMMV nevertheless.
