Do you believe in the phenomena called burning in of headphones?
The term is being used as if it was a scientific fact.
I was just wondering how many of you are actually believers
I for my part do not believe that the hardware of a headphone changes dramatically in the first few hunderds hours of listening. Of course matter always changes, but not in the way burn-in believers proclaim.
I do believe that we adapt to every new headphone. Especially in the beginning.
I come to this conclusion because after using a new pair of headphone the perceived soundsignature changes every day. But switching back to the old headphones (mostly cheaper ones in my case) gives me the impression they have even changed more in this time period. Hence not the headphones changed. But I did. My brain adapted to the new sound spectrum.
I am not a fan of believing. I have searched the forum for experiments or scientific proof of burning in with headphones.
Please post some links if you have a good source!
Thank you.
