What Is Headphones Burn-in?

Author : lydia wang


         


Generally speaking, burn-in is the process for excising 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.

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 can hear some light static when I first turn on the Beats by Dr Dre, which is necessary for the headphones to deliver sound. Once the music begins, however, you no longer hear the static. Now, one fashionable audiophile explanation for this 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 is 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 listen 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 is there any evidence to support he headphone burn-in?
To conclusion this problem we need to know “What burn-in is” first, When speaking of headphones, ‘burn in’ is the term used for the settling oft he design parameters of the diaphragms into their intended state. The physical process is that the diaphragms loosen up through use and eventually reach a point that could be considered final. A similar situation is breaking in a new pair of shoes.
There is no scientific evidence proving that one is better than the other. Choose the method that you prefer.

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 is no exact or set length of time for burn in. It is best to use your ears to listen for changes to decide when you should stop the burn in process.
It is worthwhile to note that the amount of change resulting from burn in will be different for each model of headphones.
