Exception from the rule.
Last but not least we also need to say that every maker of a mobile phone device does not always keep their standard either. Therefore there might be exceptions from this rule. The best way, if you are unsecure which plug to use, is to test all plugs and you will clearly find out which plug suits your smartphone to reach the best sound quality.
Please note that any mobile phone not using the 3,5mm plug would not be able to use the Degauss Labs headphones.
IF UNSECURE WHICH PLUG TO USE MAKE SURE YOU TEST ALL PLUGS. THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEARLY NOTICABLE THROUGH DISTORTED SOUND.

Hi-fi-burn-in
Burn in headphones to break them in.
What is burn-in process? Well, if you have just got a pair of high quality earphones you may need to know about the burn-in process.
High quality earphones require certain break in time, called burn-in. High-end earphones may sound mediocre when taken right our of the box. However, after the burn-in time the earphone is “warmed up” and has an increased sound quality on most of its frequencies. The burn-in process can take up to a hundred hours, but the quality of the sound will stay on top during the whole lifetime of the earphones.
There are several ways to burn-in your earphones. You can either listen to your music as usual or use certain software that plays white or pink noise sounds to sweep all the frequencies.
The first solution with playing your ordinary music may not give the best result as some frequencies might not be burned-in properly.
The second solution is more recommended to reach that perfect quality of your earphones.
To burn-in your new headphones, proceed with following:
1. Get a software made for burning in the earphones or make a playlist with several sounds. These sounds are white noise, pink noise or frequency sweep.
For example: Burn In App from AppStore and Google Play.
2. Attach the earphones to your phone and start the software leaving your earphones with moderate sound level for several hours at a time. It is also good to give the earphones some rest, pausing the burn-in process for some hours in order not to damage the earphones.
There is no rule on how long you should run the burn-in process. However an estimated time of 100-150 hours should be enough to break in your new earphones.

How should you get your new earphones to their best sounding potential?
With your music playlist
You should pick out a playlist where you have a good variation on different sounding audio files. Why they should be different is because the earphones need to go through all different frequencies during the burn- in process. In your playlist you should put in some pauses of silence. The volume on the earphones should not be too high during the burn- in process. This is because you do not want to overload the drivers and damage your earphones. You can use any media player program on your computer or phone for this.
Using burn- in programs
When using burn- in programs you tend to minimize the burn- in time. Many of the burn- in programs you can find free online. Normally it’s pink noise or white noise in these programs. You can also use frequency sweeps and low frequencies. When you break in your earphones with burn- in programs you should schedule pauses of silence. The volume on the earphones should not be too high during the burn- in process. This is because you do not want to overload the driver and damages your earphones.
When using iPhone or iPod Touch
On app store there are free apps with pink noise and white noise to minimize burn- in time. If you search on “burn-in” in app store you will find the appropriate app.
When using an Android phone
On Android market you can find an app for white noise. However, white noise does not go through all the different frequencies.
What is the burn-in time on the different models?
Dual Driver
When using burn-in programs the burn-in time varies from 100-200 hours.
When using your music playlist the burn-in time varies from 150-200 hours.
Sabotage Royale
