Burn-in, RE2+E5 and A Newbie

Hey all,

I am very close to getting my RE2+E5 Combo(my first decent IEM and first ever amp). I keep reading about the required 50h burn-in for RE2. I also read about burn-in periods for amps. I also got the basic idea of burning-in: playing some music or white/pink noise at a slightly high volume.

My question is: How would you guys think I should treat my new combo? What kinda sounds should use? Should I do them together?

That is, what would you do if you get the same combo? (or did in the past)

cheers,

No burn-in. Just listen.

That's generally the same as listening. You can leave it on overnight if you want to accelerate the process, but the RE2 is not the most burn-in affected phone and the E5 is not the most burn-in affected amp, so whatever differences there are will most likely be near-negligible.

Yeah the RE2s don't change that much after burn in.
