How loud do you listen to your music? Vol: My ears are ringing

[belle155]

I listen to the ipod a lot w tha earbuds esp when im liftin at the gym. i gotta have it decently loud so i can hear it over the fans blowin, weights clankin,people yellin...i dont know if i noticed before or not but i kinda have a slight ringing in my ears. prob losing my hearing at 25. not a good look.

 

[gettin it crackin]

When I'm at the gym listening to my iPod, I listen to it as loud as it goes. When I'm in the car listening to my iPod, I listen to it as loud as thestereo goes. But when I'm at home, I listen to music on my MacBook, and the speakers on the MacBook SUCK, so they're not loud at all. Regardless,I'm probably going to go deaf by the time I'm 40.

Well it depends on the tone of the music..

Chill music like Jack Johnson, Zero 7...Low
M83, Mew... Loud

How loud? Well let's just say this morning I was on the train and the woman next to me was trying to sleep. She taps me and is like " can you pleaselower down your music? I can hear it from here." I was like

i bump my music pretty loud... sometimes I get headaches... definitely not a good thing.

 

[zerogravity23]

loud enough to zone out and hear nothing but the beat.

 

[dblackboy17]

as loud as the device can go.

I am paranoid about being a deaf old geezer so I hardly ever go above 50% volume on my iPod and I keep the music in my car relatively low too most of the time.

Get noise canceling headphones instead.

 

[goldnboi7]

Loud enough so you can know which Cass track I'm bumpin at the time

...don't like it? Move.

 

[rhythmentality]

Y'all are gonna go deaf by 40.



Buy some noise-cancelling earphones...

Noise-cancelling @ low volume > regular iPod earphones @ loud

 

[mytmouse76]

some songs sound so much better when they are extra loud...i listen to my music as loud as possible except on my computer cuz i don't want to be rude to myroommates...

 

[ratxaxtat]

I listen to it way louder than I should but some songs are really low so I have to turn it up and I just keep it up...

Word, I locked my iPod volume at about 50%, and it's definitely loud enough. I don't understand why people turn it up louder.

Yea like said by almost everybody in this thread I'll def be deaf by 40

 

[tony23retro]

when i have my ipod at school and someone wants to hear it... they bump the volume alllll the waaaaay up... like DAAAAAAAAMN man your gonna pop my earphones.

my earphones go deep (nh) so the volume doesnt have to be so high so that it can sound loud and make you zone out.

 

[ceelo4]

Loud enough for me to hear and not disrupt those around me.

If your ears are ringin' [tinnitus] afterwards... it's too loud for your ears.
