Hi, I got my new headphones today, and I heard about that burning in thing, so I hooked it up to my PC and set the volume to 95%.
I leaved them like that for about hour and a half and then I read that doing it with very high volumes may damage the drivers, so did I do any damage? :O
Thanks.

In terms of 'Burning in' I think its of the view that you listen to your music at an acceptable level over a period time, for example 20hrs.  Anything between 100 - 200hrs is what most audiophiles would recommend for your earphones/cables to be properly 'burned in'.
 
Its like buying a Porsche/Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bugatti for instance.  You dont drive at 95% output as soon as you take it out the showroom.  No, you treat it like a lady, with respect,and gentleness and the same goes for your phones, treat them with respect, and gentleness and you will be rewarded with many years of pleasure.
