Do you prefer to listen music using earphones or just loud music?

I usually listen to it either at a decent level when my kids are around otherwise if it's a good song and they are not around I will not hesitate to crank it up. My hubby has gotten an earful a time or two starting up his work car *LOL* But like I said I try to keep it mellow when the kids are especially around. I don't care for using earphones too much anymore as I think they've reduced my hearing a lil bit from yrs of cranking it up when I was young. But if I was in a public place as you are I would either use them or just not have any music on.

I like to play lough music with or without ear phones I really like my music it drives my friends crazy .. cd

If I'm alone in the car or at home and want to listen to it loud, I do. When someone is with me I sure don't. It's too difficult to talk above the loud music. It would be too distracting if I was in a public place and music was blasting. Am surprised management would let it happen. When on myLot I don't listen to anything real loud. It distracts me something terrible.

If I listen to music it's usually at a nice level unless it's a song that I know my fiance and his parents will also like. We don't turn out music up to loud though, but if we do we're usually told "hey that's too loud".

I prefer listening to music in such low volumes that it is audible only to me, and does not disturb others. But I'm so scared of using ear phones. I've read that, mere usage of ear phones for about an hour will increase the microbial/bacterial population in the ear by (approx)200%. But at the same tone, I would like to add that loud music is also dangerous as it can damage the ear drum and the vibrations may be too harmful that they might tear the eardrum, causing permanent hearing impairment.

I prefer listening to my music using earphones because I prefer that other people don't know what I'm listening to and because I don't want top disturb people with my music just in case they don''t fancy it.

I only listen to music indoors but I don't like ear phones as if they are to loud you can ruin your hearing.Not only that I do house work when the music is on and it would be impossible to keep them in my ears.I hate it when people wear headphones and sing along or they you can hear that irritating buzz noise,or they so engrossed in the music they miss their stop,or nearly get knocked down because they don't look where they are going,or cannot hear the traffic.I find them as annoying as mobile phone users shouting down the bus and all those ring tones.It drives me crazy but it is part of the modern world,glad to get back to my little house in the country peace and quiet lovely.I play my music through the tv or computer so I am up with the times a bit.Some things I shall never get used to try as I might.
