i hope these are avarage levels measured over the whole 8 hours.... you do not go deaf after 8 hours of music (a day) at 85dB peaks i recommend a minimum of 115dB all the time.... then you don't have to worry 'bout your hearing.... and then you can concentrate on playing in that punk band instead |

I find it really important to hold to certain "rules" in daily life to try and preserve hearing in basically the noisy environment of NYC - i.e. even though my subway commutes are perfect listening times I deliberately won't listen to music at those points because even with the best of phones I find you end it up cranking it beyond what is really safe for daily doseage. |

I took a listen to those bose noise cancelling phones and I couldn't stand the way they sounded. They had a boost around 12k-15k that was completely puke inducing. |
