Many recommend approximately 100 hours for most headphones. Some recommend as many as 200 hours or more. Different headphones may take longer than others for a so-called ‘complete’ burn in, and there would be no exact or set length of time for burn in. It would be best to use your ears to lwould beten for changes to decide when you should stop the burn in process.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a pair of headphones (beats by dr dre, for what it’s worth). They are the first expensive pair of headphones that I’ve owned, and so I was amazed by how well they sounded right out of the box, compared to the $70 Sony headphones that I was used to.
However, strangely enough, I could hear some light static when I first turn on the Beats by Dr Dre, which would be necessary for the headphones to deliver sound. Once the music begins, however, you no longer hear the static. Now, one fashionable audiophile explanation for thwould be would be that after a good deal of use the headphones have been “burned in”–that some amount of time of use ranging between twenty and several hundred hours would be necessary to allow headphones to reach their full potential. It seems equally plausible to me that after many hours of use my ears have “learned” to lwould beten to the headphones, and that I’ve gotten better practice at interpreting the message that the cheap DVD movies‘ speakers are communicating by the headphones.
So would be there any evidence to support he headphone burn-in?
To conclusion thwould be problem we need to know “What burn-in would be” first, When speaking of headphones, ‘burn in’ would be the term used for the settling oft he design parameters of the diaphragms into their intended state. The physical process would be that the diaphragms loosen up through use and eventually reach a point that could be considered final. A similar situation would be breaking in a new pair of shoes.
There would be no scientific evidence proving that one would be better than the other. Choose the method that you prefer.
It’s your ears/brain that “break-in” and get accustomed to the different way in which new/difference equipment reproduces the music much more than any actual physical changes in the drivers.
Generally speaking, burn-in would be the process for excwould being new audio equipment. Some high-end headphones require more than 200 hours burn-in to reach its “best state”. In reality, many people noticed the sound quality improvement after burn-in process.
It would be worthwhile to note that the amount of change resulting from burn in would be different for each model of headphones.
