Dont know if there is another topic like this, if so please delete and ignore.
What are you opinions on breaking in headphones?
I recently became owner of hdj 2000 headphones, at first I thought they were big and the sound wasnt bad, maybe I was so use to the old Rpdj 1200 from technics. The bass on these pioneer seem less than what I expected coming from a really nice put together rp dj1200 headphones except they are a bit heavy.
After about a little less than a week of using both, I feel the the pioneer are coming along almost at the same par if not better than my old headphones. On saturday 2 people told me at first they will feel blah the new hdj 2000 and you would think they are all hype, but after 10-12+ hours of use they will eventually break in to incomparable headphones for optimum use.
I do note that when I bought the technics about 1.5 years ago they dont sound as nice as they do now, before those I owned some sony 7506 and they sounded similar when I first got them, but now the sony 7506 are just horrible compared to these two, I cant not feel the bass well at all, there extremly light and comfortable, but they can not handle sound power for now they are for my IPOD when I am at home, I have heard this from many people that they lack low end seperation. |

Well they were the first I have every bought, then I thought they were awsome.
But anything I bought after it you just can not compare, I never really got into how they sound. |

| Hmmmm. Are you sure you two didn't buy fake 7506s? Not many people speak as lowly about them...... seems odd to me. |

I've had 2 pairs of sony headphones. They don't last.
I've had a pair of sens HD280 that's lasted me 3 years now.
They sound just sweet still.
And they have become super comfy.
I once used a pair of 1 year old HDJ1000 that I borrowed from a friend, they where really crap sounding, you had to turn them up so loud to hear anything. |

No i just use them and let them break themselves in.
If you want to though, just play some white noise through them for 8 hours or so. Medium volume. Jobs a good'n.
I'd only break speakers in that i'd install in my car etc.. Headphones i don't bother as the diaphragm of the speakers isn't really moving all that much.
just my 2c |
