It would be pretty cool to see how many headfiers burn in their new headphones.

This thread will be a headcount. gl hf

Oh, btw

I burn mine in

 

[ecclesand]

I do...

 

[ericj]

i allow others to burn them in for months, years, or even decades before i listen to them.

I burned in my DT931 by accident with a lot of DC on the right channel while tweaking my AKG amp too extreme. Now I have to buy a new driver from Beyerdynamic. Lesson: DC is bad for burn in, and Beyerdynamic headphones are easier to break than AKG headphones.

If by burning in you mean listening to them, then yeah, I'm in.

 

[sum]

Burn / listen / burn / listen / burn

So yeah, I burn them in.

I guess everybody burns their headphones in. The real question is if you listen to them while burning them in. I listen to mine from the moment I receive them.

What the hey Fitz, you finally changed you avatar? I didn't recognize you for a second there.

I am in disguise so the many people who don't like me here won't recognize me. I will send a notice on the AKG underground hotline to inform all the good members of the change.

I listen the whole time I use a new set of phones. Although there have been times when I put on a familiar CD and listened to the first number or two then took off the phones and let them play unattended till the CD ended. After the first month or two I never let the phones play unattended, it's just too much fun to listen!

I'm a big fan of pink noise too.
I had the ES7 for two months and burnt it in using regular music, there was slight improovement in the bass, it became tighter.
Then I discovered pink noise.
Burnt in my ES7 with pink noise for 48 hours straight using the pink noise and 2 mins silence loop. It made one heck of a difference, brought out the mids and highs in the ES7.

My future DT990 is gonna get the same treatment too.

Burn in FTW!

Pink noise may be more efficient than just regular music.

I used to hate my SR-60's until i pink noised them for 4 days straight and now I love them. (I guess it's a love/hate relationship)
