As with everything in life, moderation is key. IMHO and IME, if you have good quality headphones and upstream components you don’t need to crank the sound as much to hear what’s going on in the music. FWIW.
Hearing loss
I read alot of people here talking about hearing loss,but no one ever mentions headphones as a possible reason for the hearing loss...Headphones, ear phones,I see people with earplugs in all day long...I hear people saying you start losing your hearing at about 35. What's your opinion.
