    Crinacle and rtings did extensive research on this and concluded it doesn't exist. It all depends on our ears, listening to an iem for extensive period of time makes our ears to get used to that particular tuning and thus the sound gets more natural, which is absolutely not burn in or the driver opening up.

      Hey there, while it's true that personal perception and adaptation play a role in our listening experience, the concept of burn-in or driver opening up is still a topic of discussion among audio enthusiasts. Crinacle and Rtings have provided valuable insights based on their research, highlighting the influence of ear adaptation. However, some users claim to notice subtle changes in sound characteristics over time. Ultimately, it's up to individual interpretation and preference. So, whether you believe in burn-in or not, the most important aspect is to enjoy the music and find the best sound that suits your taste.

    After trying 15 hours of different burning-in sounds, i have not heard sound differences in about 30 IEMs with dinamic drivers, also no change in Bedyerdynamic 990 pros, also no difference to report in hifiman anandas. There is no change in sound in my experience.

    I bought my 1st pair of headphones recently and saw this Smart Burn-in function when I started to play around with the App, but then forgot about it. Now, a month later, I decided to do it: I started the Smart Burn-in but it says that it will take 12hrs to complete phase 1! So it seems I'll have to do several sessions of 12hrs each! That's just crazy!!!

    • @headphone_zone
      @headphone_zone  2 дні тому

      Thank you for the feedback about the colour of the KZ EDX Pro. A burn in is always recommended for any new IEMs/ Headphones as it loosens the drivers and enable the gear to perform at it's maximum potential.

    • @headphone_zone
      @headphone_zone  2 місяці тому +1

      Burn-in for IEMs is done when they're new. After a year of use, they should be settled into their sound signature. However, if you feel like they've changed or degraded over time, you can try a short burn-in period by listening to them continuously for a few hours. But typically, it's not necessary after extended use.

      You're absolutely correct!

So, whether it's intentional or not, your headphones are on their way to unlocking their full potential! 🎧🔥

      Eh lazy bs.
      The burden of proof lies with the owner of the claim. When snake oil sellers claim burn in is real do they give any measurable proof or evidence that can be repeated?
      No
      Whereas a lot of journalism publications have time and again wasted their resources in proving that "burn in" doesn't exist. There is no graph that shows change in frequency response or phase response of different headphones.
      Reviewers like Rtings dot come have done similar tests on 4 driver types and shown that the "burn in" miracle doesn't happen.
      Some psychologists have reasoned that it might be people getting used to the audio device.
      I'm not as polite, I call it bs. Have HPZ or other major "burn-in" believers ever come out with any measurable results? Nope nada never.
