depends.
In the middle of angry-programming? The linkin park will be turned up to 80%. I want to make sure Chester’s screams wakes the dead.
Business as usual? around 20%. Enough to drown out external noises.
Sound engineer here. Please protect your ears people, there’s no way to reverse hearing damage.
Depends. My IEMs have higher impedance than your usual pair of headphones, and then it also depends on what I’m listening to from my self-ripped .flac library. Right now I am listening to Savage Amusement by Scorpions and I can listen to it enjoyably at 65 out of 120 on my Walkman. The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is a tad bit quieter so on that album I have 75. Usually it’s around this volume range, but sometimes if it’s a raw grimey death metal album I have to go even higher.
tl;dr:
It mostly depends on how loud or quiet the album I’m listening to is.
Full. All the way.
Full on speakers, around 50% to 80% on IEMs/headphones; depends on the max volume I can do without getting tinnitus.
I listen at a low volume. I’m usually doing something else as well, so loud music is too distracting and irritating. I’m old, and I can still hear very well except for spousal deafness.
I love that the font size on this post is twice as big as all the others.

on speakers? reasonable minus a notch or two
on headphones? cranked
I’m exactly the opposite. I’ve got fancy ass speakers for a reason, I’m gonna use them.
^(yes, I’ve checked with the neighbours)

A 5 is the only exception to it being an even number
I’m just going to take this moment to remind everyone not to destroy their hearing. Back in highschool I used to blast my ears with headphones at maximum volume and go to loud venues without hearing protection. I’ve been permanently listening to EEEEEEEEEEEEE ever since. That was 25 years ago. It never goes away folks. Stay safe!
10-15% on earphones. However, that doesn’t really mean anything. Different sound card and headphone combination will produce different loudness at same levels.
WHAT?
Jokes aside, just over 50% system volume in general with apps and headphones maxed out. My hearing is so/so. I wish it were below 50 but it’s just too quiet like that
Usually between 75 - 85 dB
WHAT?
