Another Retarded Poll: iPod Volume

[SoulPower]

Seems like there is a lot of anti-loud propaganda going around these days. How loud do you usually listen?

[BoogerFace]

I voted 80%, but the earbuds are really don't fit well in my ears, so I'm sure there is leakage.

[samjjones]

About 70%. My ears have started bothering me lately, too. Have only been using it for about 6 months or so.

[SamIAm]

I usually listen through a tape-adapter, so I'm modifying the iPod volume via the car stereo's volume.

I have the iPod set to ~75% so it's loud enough to send a strong signal, but not so loud that it hits the peaks of the adapter.

Depends on the song. Depends on the encoding of the song. Depends on the headphones. Ya, retarded.

[Dids]

Totally depends on the song/atmosphere. Most of my listening is on the bus, which is really loud, so it's up pretty high. Typically 80%, but it changes with the song.

There are encoding standards that are generally accepted as the minimum for acceptable quality. This might help:

Once I got Shure headphones I never have to go above 50%.

[RiverTheNuts]

I go about 30% with my shures, anything else and not only do my ears hurt, but I cant tell wtf is going on around me at all
