We all know that listening music on high volume will damage your ears when done frequently for a longer period.
Do you watch the volume? What do you tell your children?
Should manufacturers be held responsible for ear damages if their mp3 players permit listening music on high volume?

Each to their own. I know lots of people that listen to their music so loud that others can hear it as well even though they are using headphones. I had many friends that were like this and myself included and we all still have our hearing.
Manufacturers aren't going to do anything about it because that's what people want. Plus it doesn't make sense for the manufacturer to be responsible.
What level would you think they should put a limit on?

I'm also guilty to that so sometimes I stop listening to ipod instead I listen to the radio. I want to listen to ipod with high volume. My mother always scold me when I can't hear what she's talking about while listening to the ipod. I can't hear when someone calling outside our house. So right now I limit my volume and I seldom use ipod.

With me, I've found that I can handle a high volume with normal headphones, but I can't listen to the same thing at the same volume with buds for more than a minute or so, or I seem to end up with a good case of vertigo.
Manufacturers shouldn't be held responsible for what the consumer does.
