ATH-M50's

[xrex64]

If you have Audio Technica ATH-M50's, what volume do you listen to your music at (on the windows bar). Screen shot or percentage. Mine is about 50%. I want to make sure that's not too much. Thanks.

What are you using to amp your headphones?

It varies from person to person. Not one because of the human element, but equipment.

I keep my windows volume at 50% with my Razer Krakens but sometimes just max out my volume when I'm listening to music.

I don't have an amp. 

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

that will be drastically different from device to device, but I run at around 60% on most of my devices.

What's your On-board? 

[Kyuubixchidori]

really? my windows volume is maxed with mine. pandora is at 75%, most youtube videos are 75%-100%. and at this volume, if i set them on my desk face up I can barely hear them. my mobo must just be really quite

thats not how you use headphones... your problem lies elsewhere.

Beats-audio?

Which is why I mentioned windows.

no, that was just a example of how its stupid quiet. 

 

or maybe its for when i lay my head down on my desk!

Uh... What's your mobo lol. Windows is just software, I could set windows to 1 and still hear audio at normal listening volumes if I wanted to.

I'm not really sure, it's something crazy. It's a prebuilt. There's hardly anything about it, but it's a Gigabyte.

Yes but the gain settings, DAC, amp if any. Way too many variables.

You need some type of Amp to USE headphones . Motherboards have built-in amps, phones have built-in amps, etc or they wouldn't produce any sound. 

The problem here is that the OP doesn't know what his Mobo is so I can't figure out his on-board.

a DAC's output circuitry can put out a strong enough signal for headphones, although it may not be loud enough.

[BoredErica]

Lolno.

Get a SPL meter.

 

Seriously guys. Is your hearing worth less than $20?
