I just picked up some JVC Marshmallows as I was looking for an inexpensive IEM to use while mowing. Hoping that they should provide enough isolation that I can listen at a reasonable volume for an hour to hour and a half, and given it's not exactly critical listening, I don't really need excellence. Generally I'm not a big IEM fan so I didn't want to spend a lot and given it's an activity that could damage phones, the cheaper the better, so the Marshmallows seem an ideal test phone given the < $10 cost. Who knows, maybe I'll grow to like IEMs?
Anyway, it seems heavy burn-in of the Marshallows is recommended for best performance. What's the best way to burn them in properly? Should I just leave them hooked up to pink noise? Or would music be better? I was figuring on letting iTunes cycle through something with them hooked up to the phone outputs of my PC sound system for a couple days. Guess I could cycle through test tones as well if there's any merit to that...
Thanks for any tips on optimal burn-in techniques...
