Whats the best burn-in for headphones?

[Mr Peabody]

A frequency sweep makes sense. I just don't like leaving my player on that long. I just plug mine into my Adcom preamp/tuner, tune it to a Pop station, give it a healthy listening level and let it play overnight. Sometimes maybe two nights.

The difference after break in is very obvious on Sennheisers. So much so I think they need to add a note to the instructions or package. It would probably prevent a lot of returns. They typically need several hours too before noticing them open up and the frequency response level out.

Yes Peabody, I've had long discussions about what type of music to play, for how long, etc...I think whatever sound you want them to have should reflect in the music selection. This sweep program i have is great because I can program the exact range and know that the speakers will receive the full gambit.
