    "60% of the volume, 60 minutes a day"

    Well THIS would've been pretty helpful like 4 years ago. Since 4 years I have started wearing earbuds. I used to exercise with it everyday and then use it to watch videos like atleast 2 hrs daily. Now after watching the video, my right ears suddenly feels pain. Well, at least I play music and watch videos with low sound, below 50%.

      No, as he said, noice cancelling headphones/on ears are much better as they are further away from your ear and as they close out sound you usually tend to have lower sounds with allows you to listen for much longer time without damaging.

  • @pyroslavx7922

    the 60% volume this is the most irrelevant thing here. you might have a 18 Ohm pair of earbuds plugged into your iPhone 6S and get a really loud sound at 60%, but I may have a 62 Ohm pair of headphones that i use for travel and at 60% i get barely any sound out of my phone. And if you add a portable amp to the equation, it becomes even more irrelevant.
