I just bought a pair of Shure SCL2s today. but i heard that you have to break them in before they start sounding good. how can i do this?

thanks

Just wear them as normal and the cables will break in no time.

is it that cables need breaking in? i thought armatures dont need breaking in

 

[amitpop]

I mean the IEM itself that needs breaking in, right?

balanced armatures do not break in but in this rare case it is dynamic which is different

Sometimes both, but most of the time it's the drivers.

Just play the music you like, and put the volume a little above your regular listening volume.
Yes, the Shure SCL2's have dynamic drivers for those who thought otherwise.

ok i read online somewhere to just leave them on overnight playing for 10-12 hours.

It's actually your ears that need breaking in (getting used to the sound). A few days or about 10 hours should do.
