Doubt that “warming up” your new headphones will change their sound, or fear that it will harm them? F.ua will figure it out with you.
Why “warm up” the headphones?
Headphone “warming up” is the process of sound change in the first 100-200 hours. This always happens: regardless of whether they are warmed up on a person's head or by special tracks. The reference sound can be considered after warming up, and not "out of the box". Any review describes just such headphones.
Does the sound always change when "warming up"?
The sound quality varies somewhat and directly depends on the features of the model:
- in-ear headphones - the sound changes greatly,
- full-size - varies slightly,
- with large membranes - does not change (or rarely changes).
How much to warm up the headphones?
For most ear models, the optimal warm-up time is 100-200 hours. One type will take more time, another less. The most noticeable changes occur within 50 hours. You will hear it yourself, unless you listen to music continuously for many hours in a row.
Do you need to "warm up" the headphones at all?
With constant use, the sound in the device changes slightly over time.
"Warming up" of the headphones does not affect the quality of the product - it only evens out the sound parameters.
Only inveterate music lovers hear a different sound on a "run-in" device. This is due to 3 reasons:
- differences between modern models and previously produced ones;
- individual hearing characteristics;
- subjective opinion and assessment.
Is it possible to spoil the headphones by "warming up"?
Surprisingly - yes! Headphones are not a loudspeaker, powerful sound will harm them. When "warming up", turn on the volume a little higher than comfortable for you.
A special track for "warming up" the headphones speeds up this process and makes it safe.
At what volume should I “warm up” the device?
The recommended volume level is indicated on the media or on the CD packaging. Note that there is a different kind of track for a portable or stationary speaker.
If you hear popping, popping, or distorted sound in the device, this is a sure signal of damage to the membrane. Control the volume level and turn it down in case of sound defects.
