Thread Starter 
Hey guys, Just wondering what is the best recommended burn-in CD/album/song..? I want to Burn-In My JH 16 Pro and Ultrasone Edition 8 Paladium use it with iPod Nano 5G and RSA Protector(Balance Mode) with Elite TWag LOD.. If I have to pay to purchase it, its fine, I got around 250$ for these burn in thing..

Anybody can recommend it for me..?

Thanks

Any help will be appreciated

what cds do you listen to the most?

use those... maybe throw in some pink noise and white noise as well (plenty of software options for noise generation (many of which will also do tone sweeps)... you can also use a detuned radio for white noise)

Make a mix cd with all different genres and keep the volume below 75% (unless your listening to them). You may need to allow up to 100 hours for them to reach their full potential.

Are you really willing to spend $250 on something to burn-in your headphones/iems?

Just create a really long playlist on your iPod and play it...

Just listen to them and enjoy the music.

Brown noise
Has a spectral frequency of 1/f2, which means, in layman’s terms, that the noise has much more low‑frequency content. Its sounds are thunder‑ and waterfall‑like. Brown noise is so called "Brown" because, when viewed, the wave follows a Brownian motion curve. That is, the next sample in the waveform is equal to the previous sample, plus a small random amount. When viewed as a graph, this waveform looks like a mountain range.

Pink noise
Has a spectral frequency of 1/f and is found mostly in nature. It is the most natural sounding of the noises. By equalizing the sounds, you can generate rainfall, waterfalls, wind, rushing river, and other natural sounds. Pink noise is exactly between brown and white noise (hence, some people used to call it tan noise). It is neither random nor predictable; it is fractal‑like when viewed in a graph. When zoomed in, the pattern looks identical to when zoomed out, except at a lower amplitude.

White noise
Has a spectral frequency of 1, meaning that equal proportions of all frequencies are present. Because the human ear is more susceptible to high frequencies, white noise sounds very hissy.

Which one is better...up to you. I know what I use.

Thanks, Okay I decided to use white noise.. where can I download "A High quality record of White noise..?"

And how much volume that i need...? (percentage)

Can I Burn-In my headphone, while my iPod Nano 5G/iPod Touch 3G/iPhone 3GS in charging mode..? Will it damage my battery..? Cause im afraid, nano will turn off if I let them play too many..

hmm, yeah, maybe i will get them.. is it safe if I use all of the track of bink test cd to burn in..? will my iem get damage if I use those cd for burn in..?

what is the recommended volume level for burn in..?

and can I burn in my iem while my source is in charging mode..? will it damage my battery source?

Yes.
No.
75% volume is usually safe.
Yes.
No.
