Hi Everyone
I am a long time reader, first time joining and posting.
I would consider myself an audiophile and I have quite a good range of stereo equipment
I am recently getting into headphones and I bought the Denon AH-D600 for the great reviews all round and mostly the bass as I like to listen to dubstep.
I believe burn in is worth it especially with headphones when listening to dubstep because of the very low frequency.
Today, After approx only 10 hours of burn in I decided to try them quietly.
I plugged them into my Fiio E10 USB DAC\Headphone AMP and it was on about 6.5\8 with gain set to low and no bass boost, when I changed the audio source it started playing Weather With You by Crowded House at full volume.
It actually hurt my ears somewhat and it took me about 10 seconds to turn it down.
I just played some music and they seem to sound OK but the highs and around 8k are not as recessed and are now overbearing and hurt.
I paid $500 for these headphones and they are less then 2 days old.. what do I do?
I read this
http://www.head-fi.org/t/594680/accidentally-played-my-headphones-with-max-volume-headphones-ruined
but it said on a PC soundcard and those headphones it might be OK.
What about with a headphone amp on these?
Should I try to return them on warranty?
Would this cause long term damage to the driver or the coil?
Please help as I am at a total loss.
Thanks in advance
