[Head Creep]

This could possibly belong in the Member's Lounge, but this seems to be the most appropriate forum. Moving on...

When you burn in a new pair of headphones, where do you put them? I put my Grado's in my sock drawer, but even at moderate volumes it was loud enough to bug me at night (maybe I need more socks?). And since I have new phones in my not-so-distant future, I need to find a good place to let them burn in for a day or two without losing any sleep. So my question is, where do you put your headphones while they're burning in? Your head doesn't count.

One pillow below them, one pillow above them, then a down comforter above that, then a few more pillows. We have a spare bed so it works out just fine.

A hollow sock drawer probably isn't the greatest for that, really fill it up with socks so there's no room for vibration and it will work better.

On a wooden table with two quarter-sized holes drilled through them. Place the diaphragms face down across the two holes. Basically, try to simulate the air pressure the drivers would receive and draw when listening over the ears.

I do almost the same exact thing.

wrap em in a bunch of spare t-shirts, and put em in a drawer.

I put them in a suitcase full of old clothes. Stick them right in the middle, zip the suitcase closed, and you can't hear a thing!
