For reference, I’m 19 and I’ve just ordered a pair of sennheiser momentum 4s. I want to know what I can do to protect my ears as much as possible. I put my iPhone volume capacity at 75dbs and only put my headphones at about 95% volume at that rate, but I heard it’s not entirely accurate and some songs can still go over the limit

I want to say I’m completely new to this and an absolute amateur but I would be very thankful and appreciative of any help

    whenever you turn on music, start at a low volume, and then adjust upwards, until you like it. if you start right away blasting your ears with loud music, they will go into a kind of protective shock mode, making you percieve things quieter than they are. this might mislead you into turning up the volume even more.
