I do care about the real loudness wars though - public places where the only prerequisite for the music is that it be loud enough to resurrect Liberace.
What's the best setting for measuring headphone levels. "A" or "C" weighting?
Thanks for posting this Purrin, it's an important subject.I've got some V-Moda faders, and have had the etys, both work fine. But if you're serious about it the custom made ones allow you to use interchangeable filters for different amounts of attenuation. Theoretically they're all flat attenuators so you still have the right tonal balance and your speech intelligibility doesn't go to shit like with regular ear plugs. I have some from ACS, but you can get them through Sensaphonics and Etymotic as well.In a pinch, I do just what Purrin did, I use toilet paper. One square torn in half then wetted fits just right for me.
