what exactly does it mean to burn in headphones? i've had akg 240s for a while now and somebody asked me if they're burned in(break in). what does burning in your headphones do? how do i do it? is it just a myth?

thanks for your time

plug them into a cd player, put it on repeat and let it sit for 3 days. i have akg701s, recommended burn in time is like 100 hours.

Ditto, much more definition with a lot of use

Interesting method of doing it

I have AKG 240, but id rather wear them gradually.

Is the a difference one can notice ?

imo their getting used enough so just play with them. suddenly they are worren out.

Typically, white noise can also be used to burn in headphones due to having equal power in each frequency band.
