i got some pretty cool plugs, got them from my local chemist for $4 and they are like a silicone sorta putty gel stuff that moulds to your outer ear. they are apparently reusable, but i dunno how many times, ive worn mine a few. wore them at 5am b4 armin and 'twas all good...

___________________

i use teh clear putty ones.. they work pretty decently too.. they don't cut out any individual frequency, so I still enjoy the tracks, just at a much quieter level. Now and then I take them out and listen to some of my fav tracks, then put them back in again.. although they make it hard to hear when chatting. still... good enough for $4.

OK.. on to the DJing. I've played at every icebox gig so far, and I have played after a DJ each time.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING?

EVERY time I go into put my phones in the mixer, the phone level is either FULL, or very HIGH.

OH MY GOD!!?!? If you need it that loud to hear, then youa lready have some serious hearing problems.

Loudest I ever have it at icebox is just around 1 3rd volume, with the booth monitor barely on. And I can still hear my tracks extremely well.

Maybe it's your headphones? I dunno. I have the HD-25 senheiser's which are very clear. Maybe they are louder at the same volume setting than other phones? i dunno.

but guys.. seriously.. turn the gain down on your phones!!! It's one thing to listen to loud music form speakers.. its a completely different story when you are ramming the sound down your ear canal from 5mm away!!!

sound is all about displacing volumes of air, and there isn't much air in your ear canal.. so it's easy for a paif of headphones to do damage, coz they end up displacing your ear drums too!

Yep, when i came on last week the headphone was on full (and this was at 11:30) I kept it at full but I had my earplugs rammed in so it was ok.

well as the lady put it, a couple of hundreds dollars now will save thousands of dollars later on (when it's too late). i was reading the brochures at Hearing Life and hearing loss is a MAJOR problem in Australia, but people choose to ignore the signs. i don't want to be another statistic.

hah i got the default beige ones, but i would have liked the blue or clear filters.
