Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels?

I doubt the quality on the Beats improves...they're just marketing, no SQ.

Hi guys! What are the price range for the Dr Dre Beats? Do you really feel they produce the same quality level as the other headphones? OR- are they just a new marketed headphones for the "younger generation" to blow out their brains with? I don't want to waste my $ on commercial crap!

Snap309,

I gave you a good headphone. Dr Dre Beats are crap if you want good audio quality.

Being a bass freak you will be able to hear bass player very clearly and cleanly with the pro Seinnheiser. They are used by sportscasters as well as DJ as well sound crews at concerts. The cup reduces external sounds by 17 dB so you can hear details without turning it up to crazy levels. If you like crazy levels then the Sennheiser pro 25 go to 120 dB...that is not quite as loud as standing beside a jet plane but it is about as loud as one can stand and will cause hearing damage if played continuously at these levels for more than half n hour.

Since they work at rock concerts then I think you'll find they work for you. The sound is accurate right the way up to these ridiculous levels - so you get balanced sound that pros use to make adjustments to the mix.

I've had tinnitus since going to a rock concert in 1982. My excitement over the great seats (12th row center floor) soon gave way to depression as my ears felt plugged for 3 or 4 days afterwards. When the plugged feeling finally subsided, I had tinnitus. I've listened to the constant ringing in my ears everyday since.

There's really no cure and it never goes away. And like Elizabeth said, by the time you're aware of a problem, it's too late, the damage is done.

Bass freak? get JVC DX1000s. High end and loads of good bass.
