Does my e3c needs to be burnt in?

My friend said it doesnt help at all.

you need to be burnt in psychologically... which really just means getting used to the sound. it took me a week before i actually could hear the difference between the E3c's and the apple stock buds. and when i say a week, i mean casually listening to them and not playing my ipod 24/7 for the E3c's to "open up".

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!! When I first got my ER-6is I could harly tell the difference between them and my Apple In Ear earphones. Then last weekend I went tubing with my sons and did not want to risk ruining my Etys so I used my Apples. The difference was huge.

canalphones dont really have the "burn-in" effect, though they do tend to sound a little better after some use. but the difference is so small i doubt you'll notice it.

fr4c: actually, the e2c uses dynamic drivers, so it does change a bit.

and of course you need to burn the e3c's in, it'll sound 1000% sweeter and more fun with the cables burned in!!!11&one
