yes thank you so much, its doing amazing on my headset. ppl complained in reviews but saw a review talking about the burn in correcting it, and its working great
Yep... This track is perfect. A little note for you: u have to leave this for one night. Here's how: add this to a playlist and just play it on repeat. It will reloop by itself. And just leave it like that. It will be way better the next day.
Have used this track to burn in many headphones and hifi/ studio reference monitors over the past couple of years. Works a treat :) Currently doing a pair of JBL Pro LSR305''s for a home studio setup, and sounding great already :)
+AmnzeroUK good to hear. i'll be burning in a pair of speakers using this soon. i feel its really the tweeters that need the burn in and this has the goods for doing that.
***** I probably only used this video over night one time. Not a huge difference but that's because I was to lazy to do it repeatedly. I'v owned my headphones for almost a year and used them about 3-6 hours a day. I'd say it takes a few months to get the sound at it's peak. You don't really notice it over time though because it takes a while. But I can tell that the sound has improved. If there's anymore questions just ask.
6 hours of white noise, then 2 hours of this; had my grado sr 225s retweaked and im assuming both drivers were replaced since the right side was not working at all. It sounded harsh, so I'll test it on this, although i layed through them with regular music of all ranges for a month; i'm going to check out the burn intest pages and forum, meanwhile. keeping track.
Headphone burn-in is not a myth. The way I've done it was to listen to a track like this at slightly higher listening volumes over the first night. Then slightly higher the next night and so on. DO NOT do it at levels that will cause damage to the drivers. After the first night you can tell that it's not a myth because the levels will become higher without distortion and more clarity. For those critical of the quality of this recording it's not that important but what is more important is using the driver at different frequencies to exercise the drivers and wear them in. You can't just put a bass track in because it will stress the drivers and damage them. Burn-in does works better on larger drivers. Best wishes and have fun..
***** you're wrong, my beyerdynamic dt770pro's and ultimate ears superfi 5EB were terrible when they came out of the box. muddy bass recessed mids and unconvincing highs. burning them in took about 2.5H then they were much better
You're absolutely right. The thing is the varying in frequencies at moderate volumes allows the drivers to fully extend and break-in. People have to think that the extension needs to be worked in a consistent manner rather than just blaring random music that doesn't give it the constant stress at specific frequencies. I did a 72 hour burn-in on a set of $30 Monoprice 8323 and they went from sounding from dull to impressive.
It seems to be a pretty controversial topic but this article settled it for me. I don't think it makes a difference: www.wired.com/2013/11/tnhyui-earphone-burn-in/
Think of it as breaking in a new pair of shoes. The material is stiff so it doesn't flex like it should. With a new pair of headphones especially with larger drivers they are very stiff and don't allow for proper, intended extension. Listening to music on moderate volumes doesn't work because it needs to be steady frequencies at a moderate volume. This track is great because it offers different kinds of frequency noise.
Barney Wells That article is referring to "burning in" in ear headphones. It makes a clear distinction between earphones and over- the - ear headphones in the 8th paragraph.
SkyFireInDaHood When I first got them the M6Ps were close to "high pitched fork blades stabbing your ears", I used them all day and did a tiny 2hr burn and now they seem really good!
nooo they are rock solid for normal use. but the part that wraps around the ear, i removed it for personal preference. durable if you don't punch them ahaha.
Somebody once told me tell world was gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed she was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an l on her forehead well the years start comin and they don't stop comin fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin didn't make sense not to live life for fun your brain get start but your head gets dumb so much to do so much to see so much wrong with taking the backstreets you
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa You know you love me, I know you care Just shout whenever and I'll be there You are my love, you are my heart And we will never, ever, ever be apart Are we an item? Girl quit playin' We're just friends, what are you sayin' Said there's another, look right in my eyes My first love, broke my heart for the first time And I was like baby, baby, baby oh Like baby, baby, baby no Like baby, baby, baby oh I thought you'd always be mine (mine) Baby, baby, baby oh Like baby, baby, baby no Like baby, baby, baby ooh I thought you'd always be mine Oh for you, I would have done whatever And I just can't believe we ain't together And I wanna play it cool But I'm losin' you I'll buy you anything I'll buy you any ring And I'm in pieces, baby fix me And…
Hoping this will make the highs sound less harsh on my Jlab Metal/Wood Hybrid IEM's. They've been pretty disappointing so far. I would do this with my Panasonic HTF-600's, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it. They already sound great and I don't feel like putting them down for a few hours.
Interesting. Never thought of using white (or pink or brown) noise to break in a pair of headphones/speakers. I have plenty experience using it as a sound block! :')
I just got my ATH M50x's yesterday. Your wav file sounds good. Could you please provide a direct link to your wav file? How many continuous hours a day would you recommend and at what volume level in % like 30% volume, 40% volume etc. would be best for this particular headphone. I hope you are an expert in this matter. Please let me know. Thanks.
I'm not an expert on it, but I've been burning my M50x's for a bit. I have it at 60% (50% being my normal listening volume + 10% for a better burn in), but I'd never go any higher because it'll risk damaging my cans. It should be around that range, not too low or else it'll be pointless. My first pair I ran it through for 2 hours, then stopped, but this pair I'm just trying to get to 50 hours as fast as possible (50 being the recommended amount), repeating the video as long as I'm awake. Probably not a great method, but I don't feel like babying it by adjusting the volumes/changing tracks all day.
Teh1AnnOwnLeeByukk Thanks for responding to my post! I think drivers require rest and would be better if you work them for 8 hrs continuously and then give it some rest. I plan to do it overnight for a week. That should cover it. I didn't know about the volume levels so thanks for the tip. I plan to use a playlist of orchestral classical music to burn in my drivers. That must easily cover the whole spectrum. I've also recently read that noises aren't good for your headphones. Of course you can choose what you want if you think it's safe. But it's just a hint your way. I agree with you. There's no need for adjusting volumes all the time. A playlist will cover you from manually changing tracks. Cheers mate!
Di3g0x I reached the conclusion that normal listening with your headphones provides you a better burn in. Just use orchestral music that covers the whole frequency range and enjoy them. If you are not a fan of such music, let it run at night for 6-8 hours, daily, for 2 weeks or so. Try it and see if there's a difference. I did that on mine and found that the sound has gotten more louder and clearer at the same volume levels. Just use the headphones to listen to a single song. After this never use them. Only use your headphones for burn ins. Burn in for a couple of weeks. Listen to the same song you listened previously and to find if there's a difference. Let me know in a couple of weeks! Cheers!!! Pete :)
Kenneth Daly What made you think that? When you put a loaf of bread in the oven, you don't need to pull up a chair and watch it in order for it to bake, do you? It's the headphones that are beaing broken in, your ears are probably already as broken in as they need to be.....
On all of my headphones, at some point the lower frequencies prefers the left driver. Is this on purpose? I flipped the headphones around too, same driver.
What happens if you listen to some bad quality pink noises? I played some random pink noise on Spotify, i don't know if it is good quality and I thought is might damage my earphones. Could it do permanent damage to my earphones?
Huzi37709 Sent them back. Picked up a pair of B&O H6 (2nd gen). Blows the AKG out of the water (IMO). Not quite the same stage width, but the articulation and separation are off the charts. The H6 also has a bit more low end. Add to this the fact that they are incredibly light and comfortable and you have a nearly perfect set of cans (for someone like myself...small head, looking for superior clarity, punchy low end and beautiful styling).
I did this with the headphones volume maxed out and them putted on my head. Now I can hear better than ever. I feel almost like Daredevil.
The dubstep remix is pretty good too
burning in my ears
yes thank you so much, its doing amazing on my headset. ppl complained in reviews but saw a review talking about the burn in correcting it, and its working great

just right click and select loop
awesom they like a completly different set of headphones now
nice ... my headphones just changed into a 2 hour lifespan vacuum cleaner
+davidx176 hahahaha LOL
haha
Better than all justin bieber songs combined

phuck why did I have my headphones on max volume when I clicked this video ?
+Insomnia Blows That's bollocks.
Insomnia Blows some music requires you to turn it up to 11 sir
Whos the drummer's name?
Lars Ulrich
Keith Moon ;)
How soon they forget!
accidentally leave my doggo while burning in my speakers using this track for 2 hours...lets just say she will never be the same dog ever again
Thanks! Tabs please :)
To scared to listen, keep expecting my screen to go white and the girl from the ring climb out.
real shit right here
lmfao
Great, using it for my fresh-out-of-the-box Beyerdynamic DT90s. Thanks.
Upgrading my sennheiser 598s to 650s. I can't wait!
Used this to burn in my V-moda LP2 crossfades and now my new V-moda remix remote earbuds.
***** I probably only used this video over night one time. Not a huge difference but that's because I was to lazy to do it repeatedly.

got my LP2 today. couldnt change the shield cus the little stick thing for the screw got rounded off..... were u able to ever change the shields?
Yes, but I stripped a screw and had to drill it out very carefully. Are you sure you didn't strip a screw instead of the allen wrench? xblackrainbow
***** I'd say it improved. But it's a little hard to tell because it's pretty gradual.
Burning in my V-moda LP.
My Bose QC25 is on fire! Thanks
There's a fire and smoke, what have I done wrong? :-(
ATH-a1000z just 1hr on fire. there are amazing effect! great video!
I'd rather listen to this than the garbage on the radio
Tom Dee And the most unique comment of the year award goes to...
you're funny ;p
Tom Dee totally un related... your picture is fucking amazing.. Brak show fucking owns. as a matter of fact im gonna go watch some right fucking now!
+Tom Dee I would have to agree with you.
+Tom Dee lol definitely
This is some great Dubstep!
As you play this, your headphones will stop playing once in a while. The frequency will decrease as time goes by = better sound quality.
thank u. it works great on my new earphones. bravo!
Burning in my new SoundMagic ES18s
I burned in my 4 month old ear bud (SHE 2000 from Philips) for 10 min, now it sounds like i've never heard it before thanks :D ( sound way better btw)
6 hours of white noise, then 2 hours of this; had my grado sr 225s retweaked and im assuming both drivers were replaced since the right side was not working at all.

just burn in my Sony XB250 headphones... the bass now at bloody incredible rate!!! awesome!!! 😂
headphones are like fine wine my dear, age 'em just right. Play this entire track once per day for a week or so, and they should be sounding right.
MEElectronics M6 Pro have taken on the challenge!
Fantastic. The benefits are limited but this allowed the treble to smooth out a bit more. That's about it and it's really quite nice
SkyFireInDaHood When I first got them the M6Ps were close to "high pitched fork blades stabbing your ears", I used them all day and did a tiny 2hr burn and now they seem really good!
WOW THANKS! I'm so happy I'm gaining ANY popularity :D
nooo they are rock solid for normal use. but the part that wraps around the ear, i removed it for personal preference. durable if you don't punch them ahaha.
Same haha burning my now at the moment hope it's good
I am listening to this on noise-canceling headphones. That should not be possible.
This is hands down one of my favorite comments ever.
Not using this for headphones but for a Marshall hanwell which btw is the best sounding tabletop speaker I have ever heard. Highly recommended
Finally got my Audio Technica ATH-M50x :) Lets start the burning! Anyone know what is the recommended burning time?
50 hours should be good for those wonderful "God-made" cans!!
ToTheDoom Only few hours left!! can't wait to hear the quality :) :) :)
michael i just got my audio technicas m50s also did you actually notice a difrence after the burn in
I did not heard them before :) I just got them out of the box and burned them :) But thy sound amazing
cool thank you just asking so i don't spend 50 hours burning them

Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl quit playin'
We're just friends, what are you sayin'
Said there's another, look right in my eyes
My first love, broke my heart for the first time
And I was like baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby ooh
I thought you'd always be mine
Oh for you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool
But I'm losin' you

D. Guru download audacity its free and you can generate tones or noise at your desired length
Burning my JBL LSR308's. Can't wait to hear these things go.
oh god, i wouldn't be able to be in the same house as u with this going on
Don't care
Ty.Used on 400i
should i burn my headphone in max volume or just normal volume???
Jack Ke Just a little bit louder than the volume you are used to. Don't set the volume too loud or it might damage your headphone.
thx
no problem
Thanks! Hope it works for you :)
Please make a download link, because youtube makes it loose quality
Thanks for this dude...!
Can anyone tell me what this song is called? I really like it!

burning in my sennheiser hd 650s.. thinking im going to have to run this a few times for proper burn in
Is having it at 73% volume okay?
I got me a new Senn Momentums and so far I'm very pleased, I'm just wondering if this 'burning' thing is real or just our imagination? lol
Burning in my new DT - 770's
Me too...I got the 80Ohm version :) how long did you do it for and on what version? :) thanks!
@@WiIWazza I'm doing my 80 ohm dt770 as well.
Do I really have to wear my earphones while they burn in?? This is really annoying
Kenneth Daly No you don't you can leave them on a desk open and do something else. but if u want to listen to this stuff than go for it :)
Kenneth Daly What made you think that? When you put a loaf of bread in the oven, you don't need to pull up a chair and watch it in order for it to bake, do you? It's the headphones that are beaing broken in, your ears are probably already as broken in as they need to be.....
