You lube them. It will also make them responsive.

You can, but the bearings wont be quiet.
Here are your choices:
Unresponsive and loud bearing.
or
Responsive and quiet bearing
You can, of course, use a very small amount of thin lube. This will quiet the bearing down a little but wont cause it to become much more responsive. They choice is yours. Just experiment and find what works for you.

How about a smallish amount of lube, then play 5a (because of no whips and responsive is ok) for a hour until it breaks in.

It should be quiet and unresponsive with 2-5 drops of thin lube. That's what I do.

Your words.
I see what you did there.  Yeah, I don't think you need THAT much lube, sicyo. It only takes about half a drop (run it off of a pin to make it touch one of the balls in the bearing) to make it quiet, and even then you still need to break it in.  |

I've said it before, I'll say it again: If you can't play with 2-5 drops of thin lube you need to work on your smoothness.

Well props to you for being so smooth  I'm just saying that really seems like a lot. Even 2 drops would coat the insides of the bearing so I don't know why you'd go so much as 5 drops. |

Depends on the size of the drops, how big the bearing is, how loud it is, etc. Sometimes you just have a loud bearing that won't shut up.
I dunno it's a ballpark figure, I generally use just 2-3. I guess my point is that you can't really over-do it with thin lube. Whatever is excess will spin/drip out, it's not like petroleum jelly or duncan lube where you have to clean it to get rid of it. Even with keeping all my bearings freshly lubed I still have a ton left in the tiny YYJ bottle, and it's cheap.
