Burn-in is 90% mental, 20% real and 10% popular opinion.
Originally posted by JKohn If you really want to test the break-in theory for yourself, buy two sets of identical headphones. Break one set in and not the other, and then do some blind listening to see if you can tell the difference. I bet you can't. |

Originally posted by Lisa It seems quite logical that it would exist. The drivers move when you use the headphones and therefor get more flexible in time. So the drivers move differently after burn in making the 'phones sound different. But to say, I'm 120% sure... |
Originally posted by ProFingerSk8er i belive in burn-in, when i first got my D66, i was a little disappointed. sound was very nice but was a little short on bass. after 30+ hours of burning in, D66 eggos sound like heaven. very very smooth and clear sound and very tight bass |
Originally posted by sacriste I can't understand electronics burn-in and I'm an electronic engineer, but I can see clearly the logic of speaker burn-in: they are electromechanical devices, the use (just call it that) give more flexibility and eases the responsiveness of the transducer. Actually I think there are good and bad burn-in: some speakers could get worse after burn-in. |
