Is burning in a headphone using an mp3 player bad for the player?

Yea, MP3 players really shouldn't play MP3s, bad things can happen man!

My sister's boyfriend's cousin's brother's friend's grandma was smoking and listening to her MP3 player in bed and the MP3 player caught fire and burned her place down!

Yeah, but mabye that was a welcome escape(If she could still hear)from listening to MP3 bit rate music!

It's a waste of perfectly good charge cycles if you ask me. Why not just listen to the headphone while it "burns in"? If you don't like how the headphone sounds now, it's unlikely that it will change enough for you to like it.
