A900 - Recommended Burn-In Time?

[1Time]

I'd like to hear from those who own or have owned the A900.

How many hours/days do you recommend burn-in for the A900?

Thanks

Depends if you believe in burn in.

I've owned two sets for significant periods of time (one new and one bought used) and they never sounded any different at any point.

If you flat out dont like them, return them and get some DT770-80s, I picked some 770-80s over the A900s.

Do you own the A900?

Have you noticed a benefit from burining them in?

How long did you burn them in?

Thanks

My A900 is new and this was not my experience between initial use and later use during initial hours of burn-in.

Thanks

I noticed very little if any change with my A900s. They sounded good OOTB.

Thank you for your recommendation.

I own the a900ltd's and found there was a significant change over the first 100 hours, I did loop a frequency sweep cd and a couple of tracks overnight the night I got them, in the morning when I put them on there was a difference. But thats just me, could be different to you

As posted earlier, this was not my experience with my new A900s. Thanks

Why are you asking what everyone else experienced if you already know what you heard? "Zero" seems to be at least one of the recs, just like 100 hours or OMG A THOUSAND hours are, no?

I asked for recommended burn-in time periods from owners of the A900 to compare with my own burn-in experience with my new A900. Comparing one's experiences with their headphones seems to be a popular and useful activity here at Head-Fi. I hope others who read this thread will benefit from it as I know I already have. Thanks

Yeah, that's obvious, and again, "zero hours are required for 'burn-in'" is just as valid a recommendation as "a thousand hours are required for 'burn-in'."

If you only want those who think their phones changed with time to answer, maybe consider phrasing your question better.

Ok to answer your question: I do not recommend a burn in period for the A900s.
You like that better???
