Burn in is the process for exercising new audio equipment. Most headphones require at least 40 hours of burn-in time to reach their optimal performing state. The main purpose of the burn-in process is to loosen the diaphragm of a newly crafted headphone and to stress the headphone driver. Most audiophiles agree that the sound quality will be noticeably improved after burn-in.
Remember: not all speakers will sound dramatically different after break-in. Some improve only marginally, some might not change at all while others can change in a drastic way.
How do I do it?
-------------------------
There are different ways to burn-in your headphones (or earbuds). The most common ways include running a variety of music, white noise, pink noise, radio noise, frequency sweeps, etc. through the headphones at a medium volume. Note: too high of a volume can cause damage to, or even kill your headphones!
There are no statistics stating which method works best. Music is an obvious burn-in candidate and works quite well if you have a broad range of musical genres in your playlist. Playing only one type of music however will not exercise and stress the entire audio spectrum.
How long should I do it?
----------------------------------------
The general rule is about 40 hours. Some people burn-in their headphones quickly playing them 40 hours continuously after bringing them home. This may not be good because, the diaphragm may be too weak at this time and should not be pushed to the limit. The best thing to do may be to plug your headphones into your computer or mp3 player, set the volume to medium, and let your music play for up to 4-5 hours a day for 5 days (perhaps, while you are at work or sleeping). After that, your headphones will most likely sound their best. Note: you do not need to listen the whole time. Use it at your own risk!
Directions for use
------------------------------
Please connect your headphones to your computer, remove them from your ears, turn the volume to mid-level (medium), press play on the player below, and let it play for the desired time.
Do not listen to your headphones while the burn-in file is playing!
The audio burn in file contains a nonstop loop of: White noise, pink noise, radio white noise, 20-20000 Hz frequency sweeps, 10-30000 Hz frequency sweeps, 20-200 Hz frequency sweeps, as well as a minute of silence in between each for a rest period.

Burn-In (או הרצה) הוא התהליך של "ריכוך" ציוד אודיו חדש. למשל, מרבית האוזניות יצטרכו לפחות 40 שעות של הרצה כדי שיגיעו למצב האופטימלי שלהם. המטרה העיקרית של תהליך הצריבה היא לשחרר את הדיאפרגמה של אוזניות חדשות וכדי ללחוץ יותר את הרמקול עצמו. רוב האודיופילים מסכימים כי ירגישו שיפור לאחר ההרצה, אך במבחן המציאות ישנם אוזניות שאנו נרגיש הבדל גדול אך קיימות אוזניות שלא נרגיש בהבדל כלל.
אז איך מבצעים Burn-In?
ישנן מספר דרכים כדי להריץ אוזניות (או רמקולים). הדרכים הנפוצות ביותר כוללות להפעיל מגוון של תדרים בעוצמה (ווליום) בינונית כגון מוסיקה, רעש לבן, רעש ורוד, רעש רדיו וכו'. אין סטטיסטיקות אשר קובעות איזו שיטה עובדת הכי טוב. מוסיקה היא אמצעי נוח ובטוח אשר עובד היטב אם יש לכם מגוון רחב של ז'אנרים מוזיקליים ברשימת ההשמעה שלכם. השמעה של סוג אחד של מוסיקה לא תהיה יעילה מכיוון שהיא לא כוללת מגוון רחב של ספקטרום השמע. הערה חשובה: ווליום גבוה מדי יכול לגרום נזק, או אפילו להרוס את האוזניות! אז אנא אל תגזימו.
כמה זמן עלי להריץ את ה-Burn-In?
הכלל הוא כ -40 שעות. ישנם אנשים אשר קונים אוזניות ומריצים אותם מיד 40 שעות רצופות. זו לא שיטה מומלצת כי הדיאפרגמה יכולה להיות חלשה מדי בשלב זה ולא כדאי לדחוף אותה עד קצה גבול היכולת. הדבר הטוב ביותר לעשות הוא לחבר את אוזניות לתוך המחשב או לנגן ה-MP3 שלכם, להגדיר את העוצמה לבינונית ולהריץ את האוזניות 4 עד 5 שעות ביום במשך 5 ימים. לאחר מכן, האוזניות שלכם ככל הנראה ישמעו במיטבם.
הוראות שימוש
חברו את האוזניות למחשב (או לאמצעי שמע אחר), הנמיכו את הווליום עד לרמה בינונית, הסירו אותם מן האוזניים, ליחצו על הסרטון ותנו לו לנגן ברצף. אל תקשיבו לאוזניות כשהסרטון מתנגן! הקובץ אודיו מכיל לולאה של: רעש לבן, רעש ורוד, רעש רדיו לבן, תדרים של 20-20000 הרץ, 10-30000 הרץ, 20-200 הרץ ומספר דקות שקטות בין כל לולאה. הערה: המבחן הוא על אחריותכם בלבד.

TechTip I’ve had these white beats solo headphones for probably a year I’ve used them a lot mostly just rap/hip hop will this have any effect on them now if I’ve been listening to music on them for a quite a while ?
@@burg5556 no
I know you said to have your headphones at half volume but I had my headphones at max volume does it work better too have theme at max volume
@@djpainkiller3326 yes it works 100% better but only at certain sounds/frequencies... some frequencies can get really loud so at max volume they might ruin your earbuds/headphones. Use 100% at your own risk.
@@II-hy7no yes
My ears finally hear so much better now thanks
Been running this for 6000 hours, now my speakers play this noise even when it’s unplugged
Best comment ever 😹
😅
trauma 😂
😂😂
😀😀😀😀
This is great, can’t believe the artist dropped a two cd set right out of the gate
Thank you! I have tried your video on my speakers, headphones, and I do notice major improvements even after 1 hr of running it. It went from barely hearing a bass line to be able to hear a well articulated and well sustained bass. I also have a set of Bose speakers on my A/V setup that i used for many years and I have been complaining the volumn is not enough (always have to turn it up to listen clearly for movies) - now after running it for only 1.5 hr i can hear it more clear and the sound went from more flat to more "3D". This is amazing. Thank you!
I'm happy to hear I helped (:
I just want to thank you again for the video as it has made trememdous improvements to all my headphones, speakers, for a cost that is next to nothing! This is Amazing!
If someone still doubt if this is a myth or it is placebo effect, i can say it is definitely real. I have a Bose sound system with two additional tower speakers for left and right. For past 10 years i have been complaining the sound is not great, and I don't know why. I tried different things, made adjustments to everything i can think of. But still the same. I even have guests came over for a movie night saying they cannot hear very clearly. And I have been thinking may be my amp is not powerfull enough, etc.
But after running this video for 2-3 hours, it made huge difference. But if you do the same, please make sure *all* speakers, including center and surround ones, need to run the audio from this video. What i do is unplug the left/right channel speakers and put the L/R speaker wires to the speakers i want to burn in, like those surround speakers and center, then run this video/audio with 2 channel stereo mode. This is to make sure those speakers are burn in without the Dolby or other sound mode avoiding the sound to come through those speakers.
So now, after the burn in, even my surround speakers run so well that I can finally have full experience of 5.1. I can feel like i am actually there in the movie (because the sound from the surround is also crisp and clear). One way to describe it is almost like, if i draw a parallel with visual, it is like going from looking at a pixelated picture, to a HD high resolution picture, but in the audio sense. You hear the sound and you feel like you are hearing the real sound coming out, and it is not from a speaker. It is that good! Try it and see!
Again, thank you for posting this video!

@@TechTipIL Yes I already did! Thank you!
I dig this song, the vocals kind of suck, but that's one hell of a drum solo
The back up singer's were spot on, the lead was a prima donna.
I think that's the best black metal song ever (:
They totally sold out man, _commercial drivel._
As a drummer I approve
This is now my go-to video whenever I get new headphones :) thanks!
i skipped somewhere then scrolled down, then someone talked, I was like "is this still part of the breaking in process?" *scrolls up* it was an ad XD wtf
Does this work on the Speaker of The House? He could use improving.
Quite Lazy sure
Quite Lazy your neighbors will love u
Brilliant!!
This track is crazayyyyyy
the bar of "Cakakakak!" was so hard, omg I can't rn.
1 hour and my earphones already sound better, Thanks
You Welcome!
ヤれムNイロM Samw they sound much better
it will probably work if you have studio grade headphones,i don't know about cheap ones,but in high quality gear you can tell the difference if you have sensitive hearing.I got the DT 990 pros which have razor sharp highs and this thing here tamed them down.I could barely play my games before,like after some hour I was getting ear fatigue and wanted to take them off.Now i can play for hours no problem because the highs are more ''mellow''.And I imagine I used this video once.I still need to do some more burning in I dont even think i have 40 hours of use already.So yeah if you have problems with sharp highs try this it will probably help.
Thank you! Made my headphones much better
kai hagelberg u welcome :)
*BEFORE YOU ASK!*
Q: Does this work with/ for... bla bla bla
A: Does it have speakers? If so then yeah, if not, wtf are you doing here?
How appropriate that there are a pair of AudioEngine speakers in the pic....I just bought a pair and the bass is non-existent. The stage is wide and clarity is great. They even go really low (they have a bump between 30-45Hz). Over 120Hz they are excellent, but the most audible bass (60-120hz) is missing. I'm hoping this will help. PS - I noticed the Oppo PM3s too. I'm thinking maybe the A2+ speakers I bought are just too neutral for my taste (much like the PM3). Any thoughts?
It might change the sound a little , don't expect huge changes
Used=broken-in
Break in is intended for people who want their new headphones to be sound like after some use
+TechTip updat. I bought a pair of Definitive Technology Inclines ($199 v $250 for the A2+) and they sound worlds better right out of the box -- sent the A2+ back.
i got a pair of hd599se a few days ago this has defintley opened up the treble.
Are there pauses in sound to give the speakers rest?
FerrariDMC it's at I different frequency.
Read the description, lazy ass.
Trying these on my speakers tomorrow so im nit at the house when it starts the processes. Put this on loop and hopefully they will sound like the ones i had to replace. Too bad the base nob isnt as good. Damn it logitech you had one job.
Hey dudes, Its first time I hear about burning in. I dont know if it works or not, but I am certain the sound changes after like 2 weeks of earphone use. I recently bought (earbuds) Brainwavz Jive, at first they were ok, I heard some bass, then after 2 hours all bass and clarity just went missing. The volume was somewhat inconsistant too - is this possible?
Thank you it made my new cheap crappy sounding $5 headphones sound good now they sound like high-quality headphones permanently instead of cheap crappy sounding ones thank you
Idk why people buy expensive shit when this can completely transform their 5$ earbuds
I have a new jbl flip 6 i would like to burn in. Is this video appropriate ?
Shall give this a go on my new set Audioquest Nighthawks which need 150 to 200 hours of burn in according to the manual.
vaxick good luck :)
Hey thanks! I have a question. If I burn these for a few hours at night, can I listen to them normally during the day at higher volumes without damaging them?
abdurrahman nashit yes that won't be a problem
Does it improves bass, becoz my earphones does not giving bass
Will it applies my Sony music system which bought 10 years back?
if i play the video at x2 speed will it burn in x2 faster?
Probably not :)
Bao Pham 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lol I laugh so hard that I have a hard time pressing the reply button while laughing.
Bao Pham its 2019, I know you were serious.
Does this work for a 2017 Nissan Sentra
William Grayson It works on all speakers so if they are in a car it should work too :)
Automatic or manual?
Yes but you should do a burn out while burning-in. Its very important to make the process shorter
Nothing works for that thing.
@simodude15 😭😭😭😭
Il faut mettre le volume à combien pour le rodage SVP ????
I'm burning in my hd 700. I used to own a used 5 year old Sennheiser hd 700 (sold it about 5 months ago) and I thought it sounded better than a brand new hd 700. From memories the used hd 700 I owned had more clarity and dynamic. I've heard that the hd 700 require 400 hours of burn in according to amazon reviewers so should I play this all week? Btw why is there a long pause between the sounds tests
Let them play non stop for a low to midc volume for a week. I have done that with other gear before evaluating
I can heard a sound that my headset away from me at least 50cm, and I already turn my PC sound level to 50%.
Is it normal situation or too noisy?
Lab SES it is completely normal
Will this improve my audio quality on my brand new studio wireless??? Because now they dont sound like 379€
The main purpose of the burn-in process is to loosen the diaphragm of a newly crafted headphone and to stress the headphone driver. Most audiophiles agree that the sound quality will be noticeably improved after burn-in.
thanks! and also how long should i burn my headphones?
about 40 hours
maxedom I mean to be honest it's a beats product so i don't expect it to be worth the price
Beats=overpriced slightly good pieces of junk
It 's the same thing convert video to "mp3 320 kb", save it to your PC / smartphone, etc. and finally play it?
Hi :) can I normally listening music between burn in headphones?
Dominik O sure! its totally ok
TechTip thanks :)
I like it, it's a touch over 2 hours total length with about 17 minutes total of actual output to speakers.
I workout harder after this thanks
Will speaker cables also benefit from playing this? I know cables also need some time to become their best sounding, so this may help I guess.
No, It's a track for break in the membrane
For aktive monitors I heard 8h is enough of Burn-in, anyone can recommend me the volume as well? I got a new IK Multimedia iLoud MTM speaker today.
how loud should i blast this? I have it too loud to keep the headphones on my ear so it burns in faster right now. Hopefully i don't blow a driver ;)
lol you're actually listenint to this lol lol just lol
Trying to improve my phone speakers
Hello I have my Sennheiser CX 275s, at what volume level should i keep this and what no. Of hours can be a routine for my earphones. ??
Like I wrote in the description. Volume is as loudest as you can hear but not too much. Do it until you notice difference. About 40 hours.
Will try tomorrow with my new Dali opticon 6 speakers.
Gary Dobbs good luck :)
you said that you have to put the volume higher than you usually do.But I usually always put the volume to the maximum.
how much should I set it during this test? thanks for answer
Paolo Fenris you can adjust the volume to the point it become annoying
I didn't get the point. I usually turn the volume on maximum. During this test how hight should I turn it on? On maximum ? My headphones are superlux 662 HD.
Paolo Fenris slightly below maximum.
95 % its ok?
but really break if I run it to the maximum?
However, I take this opportunity to thank you for the test, and for the help. great
Paolo Fenris it's will not make a lot of a difference either way. 70-80% is good.
yes neighbours this is my new minirig 3
btw do I have to turn the volume that loud?
Best synth solo ever, burned my Samson SR850 & bluetooth headphones with this track, prolly will comeback whenever i buy new ones
I'm happy that it helped you :)
Is there a time limit to how many times a day I can use this?
Quite Lazy no limit (:
No more than 24 hours
the studio speakers in the picture look alot like my Audio engine A5+ are they a similar model ?
p.s I got a pair of AKG k702's today and so far they sound over 9000 times better than my old £20 turtle beach head set :D
They are a Audio engine but I don't remember the model
Do you have an amplifier and/or DAC for your K702's? They will benefit more than marginally with proper power.
Plugged into a £200 sound card, also the A5+ apparently has an amp built into it, so i guess i could use them to power my headphones too
What's your soundcard?
creative sound blaster ZxR
if i were to play this for 40 hours straight would it fix issues like imbalance (the left side of my headphones seems to be softer than my right)
It might. But I never had this situation to test
Thanks Techtip, i proceed to do so. Will update soon.
Jun Wuen Peng good luck (:

What should my volume be set to???
I know you said to have your headphones at half volume but I had my headphones at max volume does it work better too have theme at max volume
it may damage or kill your headphones burning in your headphones that high
So I go through earphones like bottles of water. I wear them for at least 10 hours per day and so like most things they break after about 2-3 months of use no matter how cheap or expensive they either get broken connections (door handles 😂), just wear out and die in one ear from over use or earwax. So I bought another new pair of earphones yesterday and they were cheap ones (most I’ve spent is like $200) these ones were about $15. I couldn’t hear most of the lyrics of the songs of the drums even changing the sound settings on Spotify. 30 mins of this video and wow! I can hear the difference. Definitely going to have this video run overnight
Try better headphones rather than buying chesp ones every 3 months. My cheapest pair right now is over 200$ and none has broken yet
will this improve bass
Does it work with iPad Pro speakers?
WHAT DIFF BEFORE AND AFTER BURN IN???
I wonder if this helps for, lets say, mid-range headphones like the Audia Technica M50X. I will give it a try (also, placebo always wins) 👏
burned for 40hrs .....i must say its clarity and bass improve a lot ..thank u so much...should i burn more?
md inzemam a couple hours more should be enough
What headphones did you use for this test? I have the Bose QC 35 ll’s and I’m trying to improve all aspects especially the bass.
Cárlos Sanchez Espinoza I use it with all my headphones. It will work with yours as well
will this work on my ipad?
does this work with ear buds to
Errol Smith yes
You must have such a high watch time for this video 😂😂
What’s the average?
40 hrs is the recommended
Does it work on a Apple iPhone 7 Plus loud speaker at 100% volume
My headphones have a bass boost function, should that be on or off for this?
it doesn't really matter
Am I supposed to crack these up as loud as possible??? Both headphones and speakers??? AKG k240 + Alesis M1 Active 320 USB.
Ian Farquhar no. Adjust them slightly above the volume you normally hear.
Thank you TechTip...subscribed!!!
Is this made to burn in other headsets/speakers?
yes
@@TechTipIL ok thank you
Does this works well with Bowers and Wilkins PX?
Sure
After run in the PX with this white noise for 40 hours should I run in with the pink noise also ?
This track combine all noises so 40 hours is good enough
TechTip thank you very much
Worked after one session
@TechTip can i burn my headphones if they have some months of use, and i never tried this before?
Luis A. Yes sure it won't hurt them
Will this work on my new coffee maker?
It will make it sound way better (;
Thank you very much. My speaker make good sound now.^^
I'm glad that it helped you :)
TechTip I think u should have warned about not listening to the headphones in the title itself. By the way nice job.
Thank you for the suggestion. I added a warning in the beginning now.
well i will try it. thanks man.
What a coincidence... I came here to burn in exactly those Oppo pm-3. :D
I'm glad it helps you :)
TechTip how many hours that needs to burn in for Campfire Atlas ?
this ish a bop
how hard do you have to put the volume on?
Volume is as loudest as you can hear but not too much. Do it until you notice difference.
Will this work on turtle beach Xbox headset?
Snipe F0rlif3 yes
It works for everything that has speakers and is new.
I know it's an old video, but those are not the PM-3 in the link. Those are the PM-1 headphones.
Thank you, I will correct it now
TechTip Geez took you 3 years to realise this? hahaha
@@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear yes for 3 years I set every day looked at the video for hours trying to figure out what headphones are these
Does this work for earphones?
Sure :)
best way to burn in headphones? The rainbow pooping noise of Nyan Cat
LOL
Can i use this to burn in my iem?(ath ls70is)
Notychill sure!
Thanks Bro :3 my headphone is S8 AKG :)
Đăng K. You welcome
should the volume be max?
No. Its need to be at around 80%
How long should i play?
At least 40 hours
cmon bro, u dont need to ask like " does it work to my bla bla bla...". no matter what brand you have, as long it has speaker on, u dont need to ask for it
does this work on apple earpods.???????
Yes
Should I play this till the end? Im worried coz it might get broke. Coz i saw the other comment that his samsung buds broke down.
It's difficult to break headphones with just a track. Just follow the instructions and you will be safe: put the device on medium volume which is usually the normal volume you hear music to. DONT put it on full volume.
TechTip okiii thankyou I already decrease the volume it was max for about 18mins haha
does this work for beats studio 2.0?
sure :)
No those need a real fire and plenty of gas 🔥
@@backcountryadventure1813 Ahahaha made my day
Jim Wasted
Im glad I made you smile sir 😁
I drive through the hoods playing this @ full blast
.. 🤪🤪
Haaaaa!!!! Yes!
Nice job it perfectly burned in my audio techica ATH-M50X
ZoruZ GAMING thanks
Oh.. Doing them right now too! Glad it works!
I have the ATH-M50X's as well. I've read they really benefit from burn in. Let's hope that's the case.
How loud should I play this out of my speakers
Either at your normal listening level or just a bit louder. Do not max it out, you might damage your earphones. If you are hearing popping noises you will definitely damage them.
I know "tests" show no difference but I hear it and lets be honest all sound is subjective and if I hear an improvement then thats what counts to me :-)
what with all huge the gaps?
d3tach3d they are breaks to let the speaker relax
could this possibly make my headphones sound louder than how they sound now ? just got them today
not louder but better
@@TechTipIL how
THANKS A LOT ! :)))
Did it improve your headphones?
YES, AFTER BURN IN, SOUND IS VERY GOOD . MY SPEAKER IS CREATIVE GIGAWORKS T3 !!! :)))
I got ejected from my seat at 6:06
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Trying to improve the samsung headphones that came with my new phone. Barely any bass
*Burn-in: the process of your ears getting used to a certain sound signature*
can you explain why my old pair of hd650 sound louder and more warm then my brand new pair of hd650 using the same amp/dac and same volume?
burning in a headphone is basically exercising the headphone like how you exercise your body. If you keep doing it at the recommended time (40hrs) then your headphones will loosen the diaphragm and sound making it stressed out and do better after it's burn in/exercise. Stressed out doesn't mean it's breaking you will also feel stressed out after an exercise too so it's not a bad thing.
BS, try the same model, one after 100h of proper burn in and second straight from the box, I recommend checking some Ultrasone headphones
can i skip the pauses or is that necassary
2:05 bro scared the shit out of me i had my speakers at max
if i play it louder will it burn faster?
Nope, i dont think soo, but it's a best practice if u carry out every day 4-5 hours with medium volume, so that your work is done and speakers also doesn't gets damaged
work on jbl extreme??
Pradnya Paramita sure. It works on all speakers.
My headphones:*break*
Me: dad my headphones broke again
Dad: let me try them
Headphones: *start working*
Me:I-
can it work on my macbook air?
It's for speakers and headphones not for laptop speakers
TechTip but isnt that a speaker
Yes but on laptop the change would be minor to non-existent
