One question,I left my headphones connected to an old pair of speakers for a couple of hours to burn-in,only to realise later that the speakers are a little faulty; at certain volume level the right channel become a lot less audible than the left.Does this make the burn-in on both sides of my headphones unbalanced?

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Mar 30 2006, 03:23 PM) it may be due to channel imbalance on the pot of your speaker, or possibly that your speaker has damaged the phone somehow. Try it on some other sources to determine if the channel imbalance is still present, or whether it only appears with the use of your speaker. Sorry thats not what I meant,the phones are fine.The speakers are always like that.I'm just concerned about whether the volume imbalance during the burn-in would result in the right side of the phone to be slower than the left side in "burn-in hours".Which would make the sound quality of both sides to be unbalanced.I hope you understand what I'm trying to say   |

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Mar 30 2006, 03:53 PM) I wouldn't worry about it, grado's* channel matching is pretty poor anyway, and technically..they are never the same and I doubt you could hear any difference unless your pair's drivers are seriously badly matched. Yep,thank you very much for your replies!Its just me being paranoid again *(i presume it's your grado?) |

QUOTE(dya_ungu @ May 29 2006, 05:24 PM) actually i still dont understand burn in new headphone is for what? It is said that that usually quality headphones does not sound at its maximum potential right out of the box.By playing it for long hours the sound quality will gradually "open up".Can't give you the technical explanation but thats the theory |
