Headphone Volume and the Blade

[Guest popoyaya]

Is there any way to remove this?

Why would you want to go back to crappy quiet sound?

the sennheiser cx300 headphones are really really good I have to say, more than loud enough.

I DID! I finally got my Sony DR-BT22's to pair up and the volume is about as loud as when I used to use them on my iPhone!!! Bonus with using them with my San Fran is that I don't need a wireless transmitter! Once you go wireless, you don't go back to being wired!!! :P

When in a noisy environment, it is better to use noise isolating or noise cancelling earphones/headphones.

You may not realize it, but your ears are taking on a lot more sound than what is healthy if you try to compensate for background noise by increasing the volume. It will just be a matter of time before you start to lose your hearing.

On the other hand, it's pretty dangerous to move about if you can't hear anything - walking, riding or driving.

Agreed. I don't know about the noise cancelling ones, but the isolating ones should be good for noisy environment by dint of the fact that they do not allow that external sound into your ears, so the only volume you are subjecting them to is what is coming through the 'phones. There will always be a degree of ambient noise because loud noise transmits through other parts of your body too (urgh!). This is better than other types of in-ear speakers where their volume is added to the ambient volume and so the total is likely to be high enough to damage your hearing with prolonged use. As a rule of thumb, if anybody other thna you can hear the noise from your earphones, the volume is at level high enough to damage your hearing over time.

It goes without saying that it is safest not to use isolating earphones in environments where loss of hearing will compromise your safety, such as crossing the road.
