I’m depressed and I wanna listen to music… 🥲
Its just fearmongering right?
I don’t max the volume, just turn it high enough to hear it, if I used speakers, I’d also turn it so that my ears detect the “same volume” so I don’t get why headphones is worse? Literally the same volume.
Also privacy, I don’t want others to know what I’m listening, the fuck lol.
People made fun of me for using foam ear plugs at a concert, and the occasional gun range idiot who throw various insults my way. Then I shoot my 7.5 inch ar and they either leave or get their own ear pro. Fucking chuds also I’m sorry you gotta deal with it. I’ve had a few episodes of it, but it’s nice not having it be a constant struggle. So I’m sorry you gotta deal with that. I also had a handful of “exploding head syndrome” moments and I honestly didn’t know which is worse.
Sennheiser and other hifi companies make earplugs specially for concerts and for musicians themselves. You get quality sound, but quieter.
On one hand, it’s funny that the issue of overly loud concerts exists in the first place and needs correction. On the other, hearing Amon Tobin at 5000 watt levels leads to a sudden realization that his music isn’t chill downtempo idm.
Also didn’t know about Brazilian homie, but his name kinda reminded me of the guitarist from animal as leaders.
Tobin released stuff on the Ninja Tune label, which mostly specialized back then in instrumental hiphop, future jazz and such fun and chill musics: like Wagon Christ, Funki Porcini, etc. So his early tunes like ‘Verbal’ fit the theme nicely, but then he did things like this, which sound straight up scary in person.
Sennheiser and audio technica are my two favorite audio companies. Thanks for letting me know!
Oooh, they’re fun (not), especially when they happen in the middle of the night.
They seem to only happen when I’m right on the cusp of sleep!
