People like to say that but if i don't even listen to the headphones for the burn-in time then how can my brain adjust to the sound?

In the end all headphones will be burnt-in, if you like it or not. That is unless you never use a certain hedphone.
Blind-tests have proven again and again that just telling a story about any product (wine, whisky, speakers, cables etc.) will make your brain perceive things differently. That goes for taste, hearing, smell etc. If you believe in (physical) break-in of speakers, it works.

A surprisingly large proportion of people, if blindfolded, struggle to tell tea from coffee. However, tea does taste different to coffee & we have every right (obligation?) to point this out.

Believe in burning in an extension cable if you like & post it here, but don't jump on us that think it is silly.


...on 2nd thoughts, forget it, believe what you want.

I believe that the Grados I'm holding are real. They better be. I have been holding them for 13 days !

Anyhoo I've been accepted for the HiFiMan Audivina tour and it's real. :ksc75smile:

I am just saying one more thing about this matter:

There is hardly ever any believer in burn-in trying to convince the non-believers, they might state burn-in works but they are not attacking the people that do not believe in it.

Same thing happens with some argumentative Android users who have to point out why Apple is oh so bad without having been asked about their opinion.

You should ask yourself why it is so important to you to prove the non-existence of burn-in.

Live and let live, don't bother to answer me here, i won't take part in this discussion anymore 🙄

I'm not "attacking the people" who believe in burn-in.
I'm attacking the belief in burn-in. There is a big difference.
We are in an open, public "discussion" board. I (you also) do not need to be invited to respond or share our views here. It is implicit.

Do believers or non-believers in burn-in get burned at the stake? 🔥😳😫? …

Burn in is a myth.

Break in? Well that’s another thing altogether..

As a horrified English learner, burn-in and break-in are two different things?
Yeah what is the difference?

The plot thickens!

"burn in", electrical, eg "I have burnt in my new toaster for 2 weeks solid, yet my pop-tarts taste exactly the same. What a waste of electricity."

"break-in", non-electrical, eg "I have broken in my new leather jacket, now I look like the Fonz. What does the Fonz look like? Cool."
