In your opinion it doesn't make a difference, in my opinion it does. Enough said.

There is no point in arguing on burn-in really; there are two schools of thought regarding burn-in, and there is no definitive answer as to which one is right.

 

[trose49]

I think people just think it's cool to say they have "burned in" their headphones. IMO of course!

e2s burn in, they are tiny ol' drivers inside the housing.

not armature like the e3s

 

[RnB180]

there are two types of audiophiles,

those that think "Potential gain" and those that think "Negligiable gain"

Its like a lot of things in this world.

the latter usually consider everything can be explained scientifically, the prior, tend to just have faith and and believe not everything can be explained scientifically.

Good night guys,

BTW I side with faith. and enjoy what I hear. No one has the right to tell me what I SHOULD hear.

I not sure but if that is a real picture of you then I side with you. Whatever you believe I believe. Whatever you buy I will Buy! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry dude, but cute girls on HeadFi are rare, and he ain't one of them, are ya, RnB180? That's a Photoshop reworked pic of Jessica Biel wearing Qualia 010s.

Sorry to ruin the dream, but I had to do it. I could do worse though, but throwing people under the bus is something I don't do here. At least not yet, anyway.

When I first plugged my um-2's, they couldn't handle the bass on a track... It sounded like a blown speaker does... fuzzy, no bass... Like it was flapping around in the wind. I was scared that I had made some terrible terrible mistake and been conned into buying a piece of #$! About 15 hours, later, the track played just fine. Proper bass. Same player, same volume, same everything. Yes, UM-2's burn in, and I don't care if they aren't supposed to because it's just a fact that mine did. I can't imagine that anyone who says they don't is speaking from personal experience.

has anyone even tried considering that maybe it's both?
yes in my opinion the um2's do burn in but it's also your ears/brain getting used to the sound of em.

am i the only person who has this train of thought or am I the only person in the middle.

and Im still waiting for my triflanges to arrive even though they were shipped on monday, damn slow free shipping *grumble*

 

[Max Minimum]

I too believe that it is often both factors, Nights. Good point!

 

[james__bean]

In my experience, the UM2 did not benefit from any kind of burn in. I think a lot of the times what people describe as burn-in is simply them adjusting to the new sound of the can.

If it means anything to anyone, Jerry Harvey of Ultimate Ears does not believe in burn-in for balanced armature drivers; I'm pretty sure he would know about these types of things.

[Nights_85]

does anyone know how balanced armature drivers actually work?
