I don't mess around with my ears anymore; my listening levels are VERY low.
About 8 years ago I built this "head banger" headphone amp for my mini disc player and V600s (they sounded great at the time). This puppy put out 375mW into 8-ohms at a gain setting of 11!
I lost 50% of my hearing in both ears for 3 weeks solid.
Today this ear basher sits in a box in my storage shed. I will never be that foolish again. Really, I should dismantle that thing and use the parts for something else.
The OP has posted good info there. Protect and cherish your ears people, you only get one pair!
