hi,all bros

i have already gone through all post relevant buring-in ,adn just got some of the ideas,however , i just want to clarify for the playlist whether it's acceptable,

- White noise
- White noise (radio)
- Pink noise
- Frequency sweep (20-20000 Hz)
- Low frequency sweep (20-200 Hz)
- Silence file (for burn-in rest period)

- if i loop them for 4-6hrs , would that be ok?
coz i dont want to demage my drivers

,or any other suggestions?

- on the other way round,if i use AM/FM noise signal form my radio ..is that also could be applied for buring in sequence ?


Regards, thank you very much

yeah it;ll be alright, but the w3....being a BA earphone doesnt really require much burn in.....in fact its supposed to not require any burn in at all :S

 

[johnsonc]

thanks for your reply at first,

hum...but still i would burned it up coz all driver at not exercised

Balanced armature do not burn in so you may pass up as well.
There are no bad signal that would mess up your drivers.
Just listen to them and enjoy.

thanks for helping,maybe i would use it properly

What is the theory behind no burn in on BAs. Every pair I've had (4) have changed with time. They have 2 suspensions to settle in. One at the motor and one at the diaphram. I would say play full range music and it may take a while for the tweeter to settle in as in multiway designs, the top driver sees little energy. My last set SE530s took almost a solid week of playing at a good volume for the tweeter to smooth into form.

... or mwaybe it just took a week for your brain to get used to a slightly different sound signature?

I spoke to KA representant and they said they that BA don't need burn-in. There's no paper or mylar diaphragm. BA are made from alloys, there're no parts that would get better, more felxible or so.

Following through the animation we can imagine electronic audio signal travelling to the fixed coil. With this magnetic charge occurring the armature gets excited and repels the magnetic field as it sit between two Neodymium magnets. The armature then servos the push rod, which in turn moved the diaphragm creating acoustic signal in the form of compressed and rarified air pressure. This air pump pushes air down the snout of the design to the nozzle on the headphone and through the eartip to your ear canal. As the pressure builds up in your ear canal your ear drum reacts by moving out. The electronic signals from your MP3 player have now converted to sound in your earballs. (Earballs... That’s a technical term) And sound is recreated from your favorite tunes…

The benefit of this design is that the armature is very light thus the sound is very fast. Transient attack occurs instantaneously so your highs are buttery smooth and your vocals crystal clear while your kick drum slams your brain to the skull. Now that’s THUMP!

Cools stuff from none other than Klipsch.

This design has very few limited parts and a large diaphragm, so it is easy to have big bass in the response of the design. The diaphragm works like an air pump in a pressure field pumping the sound to your ear canals. In the scale of things the moving mass is heavy in relationship to the magnetic flux density. This tends to give most moving coil designs a tubby, under damped sound to the bass. Some would consider this design not fast. The S4 minimizes this effect with an extra magnet in the pole piece section. This is a very uncommon design in the industry thus the S4 cost a little more to make than the average 10-15 mm driver.

I hear breakin but it could be electrical as well as mechanical. That configuration doesn't mean it can't change like a dynamic which also doesn't have a seperate surround. It's also part of the diaphram. The diaphram or swing plate and the armtiure are both mechanically centered and could possibly be effected. It's not my ears when I've had 2 sets of the same phone in sequence.

The simplest truest test is to buy two pairs of the same IEM. Keep one in the box and use the other for a month. Then compare the new pair to the used pair.

 

[goodvibes]

That's what I had. My business partner had a worn in set of SE530s and it took some time for the new pair to match up. My pl50s clearly broke in also but their driver doesn't look like the classic armature so this may not be as good an example.

yea ive read they dont require any burn,, but then again so did my triplefi and i think they got slightly better,, but that may just be due to memory, proably

i did have the w3 and liked the mids but did not like the highs

You can psychologically burn in your new earphones any way you want to.

 

[goodvibes]

Or psychologically choose not to.

I never met your mom so she and therefore you couldn't possibly exist. Just because you haven't experienced something doesn't mean it can't be so. This is like cable break in discussions. Believe what you want or get better kit.
