Re: Wait for it...HEADPHONES!!!

That last point from Mr HM is key...your ears will give out sooner

Remember with headphones you are putting a source of sound (and potential damage) very close to your ears. This can have quite an effect.

Buy as expensive as you can afford - get high quality, low distortion headphones. And don't turn them up too loud.

Oh sorry, too late! I already got the headphones. They werent expensive! Well i don't plan on playing them loud and they sound pretty good so im guessing my ears should be ok?

Yeah, I think in the end volume is much more key than cost overall - the main thing is remembering that you're putting a source of sound very close to your eardrums.

I bought as expensive as I could afford mainly because I spend a few hours a day with headphones on at work (work in front of a computer).
