how loud are you listening to music? with headphones or speakers? are you concerned with your ears damaging because of loud listening? usually, i listen on, like, 4 (out of 10) on my portable CD player... and the volume on 5 or 6 on my iMac... always with headphones |

usually the volume of my MD player is on 30 (out of 30), sometimes i put it at 28 or 25, 'cause the bass sounds better then i think it's too loud, but vsnares/aphex/æ etc. rock so much more at high volume imo |

yeah depends on music... I like base, but sometimes I just turn down the other frequencies... also I haven't got any big speakers =( But depends on mood... and genre... hardcore is usually played loud... |

With headphones, cheap, "in ear" ones are the biggest culprit in hearing problems. Also, if you DJ in a club, get a decent pair of closed back ones. Not worth fucking your hearing up for the sake of £50 difference in price :/ I don't listen to music really loud... partly because I'm considerate of my neighbours and partly because I don't enjoy music to be uncomfortabley loud. |

"cheap, "in ear" ones" i hate them when you fall asleep with them in and the next morrning they arre imbeded and you have to pull them out while you scrream in pain. |

REALLY LOUD, both with speakers, and at night with headphones. I've already got a slight ringing in my ears. Although... it was worse two years ago. Maybe I'm so deaf now I can't even hear the ringing! |

my car "stereo" (meaning a portable cdplayer with a cassette hookup and whatever factory speakers came with my 1990 calais) doesn't really go up very loud, but in a friend's car the volume is always pretty high. i go to the audiologist every so often and i haven't had nerve damage yet...measurable anyhow. |

Playing CapIV on my stereo system with volume set to 20 (out of 50) atm....30 is the max for me (unless a track is recorded/endoded too soft) |

i think 100 db is the threshhold of pain |

Some music is painful even at low decibels. |
||||||||
|

hehehe, same with me when i put the music off in my car for instance, the volume level must always be on 14 (on scale from 1-33) or it bothers me...and i tend to listen on even number all the time... |

i was born about 80% deaf in my left ear, so everything has always had to be really loud... with headphones on i always have the balance about half way into the left to balance it out for me... sucks, but i inherited it from my mums side of the family |

Merzbow is quite painful even at normal volume (and it's more enjoyable when listened at high volume!)... so i try not to listen to it too often though i like it ^^ i often have earbuzzes after one hour of Merz : ) |

I listen at a comfortable level. Being careless about your hearing is stupid, especially if you enjoy music. Ophecks: The ringing isn't coming from your ears -- it's coming from your brain. So it doesn't really matter if you are deaf or whatever. It would actually make it worse because the ambience of your surroundings is what blocks, or "masks" the ringing, and if you were deaf or had some form of hearing loss, it would just intensify the head-noise. Problem is that a lot of people don't realize that if you fuck around with that "ringing" sensation long enough, it will stay that way, permanently. |

i went to a syl/meshuggah concert Thursday night and my ears were destroyed.. i guess once and a while it wont hurt, but i tend to stay away from listening to a walkman for long periods of time , my ears usually start to hurt anyway |

I don't tend to really worry about it now, but I knwo ill regret it when im older. |

Some stuff needs to be heard loud, whereas others need to be heard at a low volume. I mean, 'Come On My Selector' would hardly make sense at low volumes and SAW II would be silly at high volumes. More often than not, it is the nature of sounds that hurts my ears. Especially with Coil, and Ae...I listen to the music quite loud. And then the ringing in my ears begins. |

SAW II would be silly at high volumes. You don't know what you're talking about... ;) |

er yeah well i have to jam with my headphones often enough\ and i turn it up almost fully loud on the mixer sometimes it physically hurts trying to get a kick or snare sound correct :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on....you serious? Are you suggesting the high volume so that I get to hear the details? I've given it a try and it seems just as detailed on low volume as it does on high volumes. Maybe it is my pretty good speakers...or maybe my ears are just more sensitive than yours at low volumes... and I like to let it drift by me at night as I fall asleep, at low volume...I dunno, thats just my way of enjoying it, I guess. |

i have 4¤ headphones.. is that a bad thing? |
||||||||
|
|

They sound bad (excuse the bad pun). Get yourself a Sennheiser HD 600 if you can afford it. You won't be sorry. Trust me. |
||||||||
|

|
|
hmm i dont think the only thing that loud volumes provide is more detail.. you can feel it! |

Not very loud. When I was a teenager I couldn't get it loud enough. Nowadays I mostly listen to music at low to medium volumes. If I'm out with my headphones I go louder to drown out city noise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you suggesting the high volume so that I get to hear the details? Details? Of barely-concious ambience? No. The point is to be IMMERSED in the music, not put it under a high-powered microscope. But agreed, to each his own. At least we both like the album. :) |
