You set the volume to “half” on your phone and it’s WAY too loud. You “cranked” the volume to the max, but it’s still too quiet. There might not be anything wrong with your ears!
Setting a safe volume for your headphones is a really good habit to get into.
There’s just one SMALL issue.
There is no universal agreement on how “loud” headphones get when plugged into different devices. Laptops, Desktops, Phones, Tablets, DAPs, if you “set the volume to half”, you still might be listening too loud.
Here’s a quick break down on what influences the volume on your headphones! Continue reading “Setting a Safe Volume for Your Headphones (Can Be Tricky)”

Let’s be frank. If I hadn’t put “Apple” in the post title, would you have clicked on it?
The reason this article is going to focus on Apple, they are the highest profile company pushing these kinds of manufacturing decisions. If you’re a fan of Apple hardware, I’m sure there will be an inclination towards defending your brand.
Other companies should be criticized too.
Though, we should acknowledge that many of these companies wouldn’t be following this path without Apple. AirPods show how profitable it is to make expensive headphones as disposable as possible. Apple stands to take the lion share of the profits with this tactic. It’s my belief we should start with the largest companies, and THEN work down to smaller players copying Apple.
We should “punch up” with our criticisms. Apple is currently the king of this e-waste hill. We’ll start with them. Continue reading “Apple: Premium e-Waste and Normalizing Disposability”
