Hi Head-Fiers
I just got a pair of AKG K 701s which are known to change quite a bit during the course of burn-in. So what I want to find out is what is the best and most efficient way to burn in such a pair of headphones?
I am familiar with the awesome "Burn-in FAQ" which is stickied in this part of the forum, but it does not conclude anything except that you should do it a normal or a little above listening levels.
Right now I have been using a mix of both pink and white noise. I stopped it and listened to them for a couple of hours and they actually sound pretty nice. The treble is already less spiky than it was when they were brand new, however, there is no "night and day" difference. And this is after only 25 hours of different types of noise.
Suggestions and comments more than are welcome!
Cheers,
Frederik
