One second. Burning in is placebo, until your ears adjust to the sound from the headphones.

Just use them, don't even think about it.

There is no reason to "burn them in" It'll happen whilst you use them.

Ah,I get it. It'll be adjusted overtime. I just thought I need to do this with white noise since many people said it.

I already think about it  :o . But why though?

One guy said that his headphones sound better after a while then orther guy agreed and here we have it, a headphone burn in myth. Every test that has been done showed that it was placebo.

I kind of think the headphone reviewers just do the burn in just to avoid pages of arguments

the more you think about it the more you start to hear stuff and the less you will enjoy the music, listen to the music not the headphones. ;)

just let your brain adjust to the headphone, a headphone with recessed mid will always has recessed mid. Tried it myself and fully regret it.

Exactly. It's always better to do as the people with beliefs tell you to and people who have a clue have to close their eyes.

Just like religions. Kidding. Ok, not really.

Burn in is a real phenomena, but I agree it's not something to concern yourself with.

Tiny difference in 30-100 hz range wouldn't be noticeable, so... also all measurements have some degree of uncertainty and I don't see how many times was the sample repeated.

unnoticeable != nonexistent :P

 

Done on one headphone which wasn't moved between before and after measurements. If it happens on one headphone it is not a myth. Blown out of proportion by audeejoofiles? Sure.

You see you need to measure things thousand times to find out that your measurements are accurate, especially when difference is so small. But it doesn't change the fact that you don't need to burn in anything.  :lol:

Tyall did a similar test and got similar results, minute changes in the FR.  While this can be put down just about anything, the DATA Nazi in me supports what Shearme said,  that is that something is happening we just can't say absolutely what it is therefore the conclusion is: yes the data shows something, but not enough to be concerned with.
