Just got a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-440's, I am fairly impressed with them out of the box, but I am hoping they slightly increase with burn in.
Basically, I want to know the best way to do this, I have read the FAQ but want to know how long etc. these particular headphones take in peoples experiences?

I have had them on for 10+ hours today playing Underworld 1992-2002, at a medium-loud volume level from the headphone out on my old Pioneer PD-103 cd deck.

Anyone burnt a pair of these in before?

Thanks

Just put 'em on your head and listen to the music. When it stops changing, they're burnt in. In the meantime, just enjoy the ride

Burn-in process is always the same.
Normal method: Just listen, don't do anything special
"Fast" method: Normal or slightly (!) higher volume playing bass heavy tracks nonstop ... but you don't NEED to do that!

the bass on mine when i first bought them seemed rather stiff, it didnt have much character but until now i havnt believed in burning in much but i guess this is an example that has convinced me it works. Mine settle down after about 24 hours non stop music but the character seemed 2 change every so slightly after that even.

cheers
