| I have a bad habit of playing music loudly in my earphones (especially when sampling the drum 'n bass genre), but I only do this to have a more immersive music experience. Then again, I haven't noticed too much hearing problems recently. What about you? Are you a big audiophile or do you prefer to keep the volume at a comfortable level? |
| I'm a huge fan of music, but I seriously get irritated if there's exams going on and I can hear some guy's heavy rock music from across the room (that happened twice this year, the guy is a serious tool). Even if exams aren't being taken, I get the audio as high as I can without anyone outside of a 2 foot radius being able to hear it. I love my music, but I respect people's preferences more. |
 |
| I tend to turn it up loud so I can observe and appreciate all of the different instruments, it's a habit of mine and I also have absolute pitch so I can pay attention to all the different pitches of the notes and whatnot. But I don't do it for prolonged amounts of time because besides having absolute pitch my hearing is very sensitive and my ears and head would start to hurt if I did it for a long time.Actually it might not even be that loud to others since I hear everything a bit louder than your average person. |

| IPhone has a max volume at 16 squares. When using earbuds, I usually listen at 8. When working out, listen from 10-12. Probably going to go deaf soon, but oh well. It can't be helped. When I listen to music on my laptop with earbuds, I usually listen at 30/100. Funny thing is, apparently EVERYONE in my class can hear the audio from my laptop, so I'm not sure if 30 is loud or not. |

| I listen pretty loudly, despite having some minor hearing problems. I'd consider myself a bit of an audiophile, and I guess my Sennheiser HD558s are a bit of a "poor audiophile's headphones" lol. They are open headphones though, so I have to be careful with the volume, but I only use them at home anyway. |
| i try my best to listen to music quietly, unless im on a roadtrip and my family is blasting bluegrass from the speakers. i dont have a problem with bluegrass, i just dont prefer it. im reeeeally scared of hearing problems so i try not to blast it into my ears. |
| Since I don't want to suffer from Hearing Loss, I keep the Volume as low as possible that is still comfortable to hear. With my MP3-Player, I can even keep it at the lowest Volume (1/25) and it's still a bit too loud when it's absolutly quiet around. For Headphones, I try to balance the Volume with a small Control Wheel whenever some Anime Series have some People shouting some random Stuff out of the Blue. >__> I also prefer Loudspeakers over Headphones, as it's more comfortable and less risky. |

| As loud as it can go without the neighbours calling the police. |
 |
| I listen to music at a reasonably high volume, so i can hear if someone shouts at me or something. |
 |
| Usually at a volume of 10 or 12. I can still hear my surroundings well enough at that point. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| I listen to my music at a medium volume. Loud enough for me to hear it but silent enough for me not to go deaf. |
| I'm the same as you, OP. Haven't had any problems so far. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| Man, I remember when I bought my first pair of professional headphones. I blasted that shit to 11. Now my face is perpetually stuck like this |
 |
| Depends on background noise. If it's quiet where I am, I won't put my music loud in my earphones If my environment's noisy, I'll listen to my music really loudly The latter is definitely not great for my ears though |
 |
| I love it loud. I still try to either use earphones or keep the volume low enough so it doesn't annoy my neighbors. I have taken a bit of hearing damage already though, which is because I never used earplugs in my previous band's practice sessions. |
 |
| I like a low volume, generally keeping the music more in the background. |
| Low/confortable level volume, I've never liked to hear loud music. If I did I guess I'd probably feel that it's not too healthy or something. |
| Too loud for it to be considered safe. I wouldn't be surprised if I become somewhat deaf in 20 years from now. |
| I don't listen above a medium volume because I have issues with earwax getting compressed by music |
 |
| It's usually on a fairly high volume, if I'm listening music from my phone. (Near max) The exception to this is when I'm in the bus or in public, since it would be rude if others could hear my music. If I'm on my laptop, it's usually a lot more soft. |
| I have a noise notch at 3khz from band and orchestra activities. Even a very minor loss like this means listening to music becomes a chore. It's like I'm hearing everything underwater. I also don't think the majority of people realize just how bad headphones are for your ears. You're literally strapping soundcannons to your head. Very little distance between the source and the inner ear means very little time for the noise energy to dissipate. The problem is compounded by the fact that it's pretty fucking hard to gauge how "loud" something is. I distinctly remember one friend saying "nah, I don't listen to it that loud." Look over at his iPod, volumes set at like 75%. What's that on an iPod? 90-95db? 40 minutes of exposure before possibly permanent damage? Maybe less? |
| Most of the time I put on my music pretty loud through my headphones. I just like it loud. |
| 50% with my headphones if that tells you anything. |
  |
| i usually have about halfway up on mac speakers. and i try to mix music to sound best at that level too. i've been to a lot of very loud concerts though. you'll have to speak up when you talk to me. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Not too loud because I'm on the edge of having tinnitus already. |
 |
| Well, my laptop speakers are at 38% volume... It's a comfortable level for me. If only the fucking headphone jack wasn't broken so I could listen with my headphones... |
| yeah and afterwards i am almost deaf |
| When I'm trying to tune out everything else around me then I put it on the highest volume, otherwise it's on medium volume. |
Come here and play with my darkness  |
| Usually around 78% to 100% with max bass boost. |
| In public? Low volume. I don't like disturbing other people. If I'm home, then I don't hold back as much. |
| when not alone at home, average volume with earphone when alone, max volume with loudspeaker |
| Loud music can hurt your ears from what i've heard. |
| max volume bruh it gets me hyped the fuck up |
| At half volume or less. Usually less. Anything louder hurts my ears. |
 |
| Loud enough that I carry a portable amp+dac w/ my phone |
 |
| I only really ever listen with earphones, and I listen to it pretty loud so I get the bass and get into it. I won't listen with earphones in my car, and listen to the music much lower. |
Trance said: I'm a guy and I can imagine buttfucking another guy. I don't find the thought repulsive, and I can even imagine kissing another man. |
| My right ear is almost deaf so I compensate by trying to make my left ear deaf as well. I play loud music through my headphones, but no one ever complained to me. |
 |
| Somewhat loud but nowhere pass what I feel being comfortable. |
  |
| Loud enough to no hear people talk. When I'm listening music on my earphones is to evade real world to me. |
 |
| too loud for my own good x-x guilty pleasure |
