Bass sweeps (break-in) Damage?

Hey guys,

I've read in a few places that bass sweep files used for break-in can damage new headphones/IEM's. Is this true?

I thought bass sweeping was ideal as it loosens up the diaphragms (along with other sweeps/pink noise)

Also, how long should you allow between rests (blank audio files), or does it not really need to rest?

Thank you.

Regards,

Laurence

As long as the signal is within the design parameters of the headphones (i.e. not too loud) then I can't see a problem.

That's alright then, I burn mine in at slightly higher than normal listening volumes. Not enough to hurt my ears but not as quiet as I normally use them (Not sure if that's enough).
