## What is Burn In Lab?

Burn In Lab provides custom studio quality arithmetic wave to burn-in your headphones, which allows the headphone diaphragms to reach their optimal level of sonic performance. Arithmetic wave prove to be more useful in burning in as compared to traditional noises.

A new pair of headphones may not sound as good as a used pair. Often, people want their headphones to sound the way that they are intended as soon as possible. Most people can't afford to wait for weeks or months of regular use, so the only choice is to expedite burn in by getting the process over within the first week of ownership.

Features:
- Simple & Straight-forward app
- Custom wave length suited for different sound devices (Headphones, earpieces, speakers)
- Studio quality arithmetic wave

Additional Tips: 
- Adjust to your normal listening volume. Playback at excessive volumes will damage your headphones. 
- Let your headphone rest in between each burn-in cycle. (Recommended burn-in duration for each cycle: 4-8 hours)
- Listen to your headphones in between burn-in cycles to check the progress. Some headphones may require additional burn-in time before reaching their desired sound quality.

### 3/5 — Good App But…

*2021-10-24*

Earpiece option is not working properly

### 5/5 — When used properly, it works

*2021-09-10*

I somehow thought it was clear that you shouldn’t be wearing the earphones while this app was running. The app generates a calculated range of noises to break in the diaphragms of new earphones. It’s not an equalizer app and the sounds that the app makes are way too annoying to listen to. But those sounds were never meant to listen to. Apparently, some folks thought that this app had something to do with listening to their earphones while it was running and they got headaches. I don’t know how the developers could have made it any clearer.

### 1/5 — Ringing noise

### 2/5 — App crashed on ios 13.1.2

*2019-10-01, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — Really great app check it out!

*2018-12-19, version 1.0.2*

I don’t really write reviews for any apps because I’m lazy to but I let my earphones burn and they really changed , the bass is 100% better than it was before and it’s punchy like I like it , so if you’re think about downloading this app , do it it’s really great 🤙🏾
