I just got my OK2's today and just wondering if i should burn them in with my PA2V2 or just use my D2 to do the work? Id be using my fiio mostly just don't want to waist batteries.

there is a lot of debate about it and some say it is real and some say it is the placebo effect so idk

nope. it doesn't matter which amp you use to burn in headphones. just plug it in and leave it playing for a while.

All i normally do whenever i received new 'phones- have a listen straight from the box, just as a starting referance. Then plug them into the computer headphone jack and leave an album playing on repeat for a few days (with a pillow over the 'phones not to annoy the hell out of folks). After a few days just start using them as normal.

Since you bought headphones, I recommend simply listening to music with them. If their sound signature changes over time, you'll get to appreciate the changes as they happen.

Well im going to use whitenoise,freq10-30000-10s,freq20-200,freq20-20000-30s and 5 min of silence.
I can't remmember were i got these files but i got them along time ago.

Burn-in have a definite effect on dynamic headphones and in-ears (not a single pair which I own or have owned shown a failure to change through burn-in). My Tomahawk also smoothed itself out a bit after 200+ hours of burn in.

balanced armatures do not burn in at all but dynamics are different

The quality of the music you burn with does not matter
