-- How loud do you listen to your tunes?
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
I never listen to music so loud it make my ears ring. If you do that on a constant basis you'll lose your hearing.
Usually if I am casually listening at home or at work I usually listen very quietly. The only time I really listen loudly is if I am playing for other people to hear too or if I am mixing.
It also depends on the music. For example, I am listening to Scanner now. That is definately music to be listened to quietly in a dark room. Hehe...

(
i forgot to wear hearing protection at the gun range on tuesday... STUPID MOVE!! now my hearing is almost all gone in my left ear...
be careful,..
and after PvD in NYC it took 2 weeks for my hearing to recover from that night...
Loud!
My right ear is half way deaf--sucks i'm barely 16
I usually like to turn it up enough until I can feel the bass hitting...especially important when I'm spinning. Music was meant to be played loud, and if you've put some money into your sound system then you should be using it to it's full potential.
very quiet, you can't hear it in the next room with the door shut.
i even do that when im spinning, although its a lil louder when im spinnin.
Enough to make the pictures on the wall, fall off. If anyone cares thats about 2500 Watts of BEATS! 
... this system is the best stereio I've ever had, and i'm going to bump it till it blows up.
how loud?
enough.
after seeing Sander in Stockholm my ears rang for weeks...damn you pdiddy telling him to 'turn it up a little bit louder now!'
i think thats the exact moment my hearing went to shit...tho it could be a lot worse|

Well, the human ear is more sensitive to quiet volumes than loud, so to really get the most out of your music you should turn it down, not up.
as loud as possible. I'll probably be deaf by the time I'm 40

medium-rare.
Portable Audio: Not that loud, about medium. I used to turn up it high on airplanes but then got some QC2s 
In the car: Quite loud, louder than average although not enough to scare small children walking by.
I blew one of my two 400w amps a few weeks ago when I got wasted on Old Timer's night listening to heavy metal. Replaced it with a 500W amp and now am pushing 900W from computer. Certainly cannot push that limit...unless I get wasted again which happens every now and then.
Lol!

it all depends how i'm feeling. if i'm studying i can't have it too loud or i'll just get really into the music and forget about studying. or if i'm just chilling it's moderate loudness. if it's a real banging track or set it's loud. if i 'try' to list to some rap like lil' jon's cd it's low because every other word is mutha******, unless i don't give a shit, then it gets louder.
i need to get some ear plugs - my ears ring like mad sometimes after i've mixed a long set.
If I listen to a tune I like I crank it up a bit. If Im listening to a track that I am producing I have a habit of turning it up on every listen (I listen to my tracks heaps of times over to tudy up loose ends). By the end of my production session my ears block up a little (not a good sign) It's a crappy habbit that I know will definitly effect my hearing quality down the track.
I'll be one of those grandpas that go "hey?"
"ha jimmy?"
"My name's Tom Grandpa!"
"what Jimmy? Grandma wants in teh pooper again does she?"
Seriously, all the people in here that brag about their ears ringing and about how loud they play their music are idiots.
The hearing loss isn't what you have to worry about it, it's the tinnitus. You know that ringing you hear in your ear after a long night out clubbing? Imagine that never going away. Ever. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the rest of your life, you have that sound in your head. When you are trying to sleep, trying to read, trying to work. Constant ringing. And the hearing loss that you will no doubt develop with age as well will only make the tinnitus worse, because the ringing won't get any quieter, only the ambient noise that can help to mask the tinnitus. And there is no cure for tinnitus, it will never get better, it will only get worse. The only real treatment for it is COUNSELING, because it drives people into depression and despair and the only thing to do about it is to try to "tune it out". Easier said than done.
The "it's all worth it for trance" attitude is so completely ignorant it makes me sick. Trust me, it won't be worth it in the end, and you'll wish you had listened to me.
So do a google search on TINNITUS and read about it.
And turn your f*cking music down you f*cking idiots. I don't mean to sound like an asshole but you are truly an IGNORANT human being if you don't know the true consequences of the sound levels you constantly expose yourself to.
