Or simply using it is fine?
Have Eric Cartman sit on them...

Hello head-fiers,

 

I'm brand new to these forums - this is my first post actually. I've just ordered some sennheiser IE-8's because i found them on amazon for around 280 (I thought this was a steal since the more common price was around 400 bucks). I'm looking forward to these as they are my first pair of legit high end IEM's. I was reading the posts on the best ways to go about cooking, but is there a difference in methods between IEM's, earbuds, and cans? Just curious

I know little to nothing for I am here for the same purpose... to learn... however by what I read and the short memo on phones vs speakers I would guess one to be looking at the same procedure... just sounds reasonable to me.
 

I'm going to go ahead and grab a copy of XLO Test & Burn & Primal Scream XTRMINATOR then run those on repeat for a while with a bit of godsmack and techno so that I actually have something I like to listen to in there and some variety to help push / mold it to my liking if that makes sense… run that forever :( then play around and start listening to a bit of everything… prolly some harsh dubstep seeing how I’m starting to get more into that genre
