I like my music at a high volume, I worry though that it can damage the phones, thoughts?

It will damage a dynamic driver before a BA.
All headphones have a maximum power, and maximum SPL.
You exceed max. power, the headphone will be damaged.
You cannot exceed max. SPL though, it'll damage your hearing first.
So even if you cranked the volume up all the way on an iphone every time it wouldnt mess it up?
tinyman392: I'm not sure but I have blown many loudspeakers, carspeakers and headphones in my day but never a BA earphone. Isn't a dynamic driver much like a speaker?
Thought I read this somewhere that since the dynamic coils movement is more extreme in relation to how much juice you are driving (versus a BA), that too much juice will flex them out of their range...but that this was less susceptible with a BA because the movement is so minimal.
But I could be completely wrong on this....
