Be careful with your ears, please. With in-ear headphones, it's extremely easy to have 80+dB over a large amount of contiguous hours, which is Not Good For Your Ears™. I have tinnitus, you really don't want tinnitus. And i thought i was one of the careful ones (i.e., i almost always use earplugs at concerts and try to avoid loud bars)! In fact, much as i like bars, these days i find myself wondering if i should (1) not go to bars on account of the loud music, (2) go but wear earplugs (i heartily recommend the Etymotic range), but therefore be regarded as a weird old fogey, (3) suck it up and have regrets the same evening lying in bed listening to the worsened tinnitus... http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/pages/noise.aspx http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/pages/noise.aspx http://www.soundadvice.info/thewholestory/san1.htm http://www.soundadvice.info/thewholestory/san1.htm
