How loud do you listen to your iPod?

I'd like to know how loud everyone listens to their iPod?

Please include iPod model, headphones used, and if possible type(s) of music you listen to.

For me it is:

4G iPod 20Gb

80-90% w/Sony EX81's
70-80% w/Sony D66 Eggo's
~70% when I used stock buds

Mostly HipHop/Rap and Rock

3G iPod 40GB

Etymotic ER-6i's - about 30-40%
Sennheiser HD-600 - 25% on my headphone amp
Sennheiser HD-212 Pro - 30-35%
Sony EX51 - 30-40%

I listen to classical, jazz, rock, punk, ska, emo, alternative, latin jazz, some pop, plus a general mix of other stuff.

I have a 1st gen mini and an iPod photo 40gb. I need more or less full volume on the stock buds and a shade under half for my Shure e2s.

I used GoPod, thus lifting the volume limiter, so now about 50-70% with my Triports, and thats pretty loud.

I listen to just about everything.

Yep, Euro pods have volume limiters. There are programs to amplify it and get rid of the limiter.

Seems I'm the only one who consistently listens at around 30-40% volume, which I guess is pretty low compared to most, heh.

I use the stock buds with the Griffin EarJam thingies most of the time, and inside I'm usually at 40% or so, outside I bump it up to about 55 - 60%.

I listen to all kinds of music (although mostly rock, pop, blues and jazz)

Note to Ichijoe, nice sig! Long time fan myself...
