  • Background: Am in NYC and take the subway every day. Couldn’t really hear the music so whenever I’m in the train, I always turn it up to the max volume. FWIW, I use my Airpods. Been doing some research and just realized how harmful this is. I’ve set my phone to limit it to the lowest level at 75 dB … and I can barely hear the music. I mean I hear it but I can’t feel the music: the bass, the instruments, the reverb. Do I just accept this limit and deal with the subway noises forever? Feels like it’s a lose-lose situation either way because I’m sure the subway noises themselves are audibly louder and therefore are causing issues as well
