I’m just going to take this moment to remind everyone not to destroy their hearing. Back in highschool I used to blast my ears with headphones at maximum volume and go to loud venues without hearing protection. I’ve been permanently listening to EEEEEEEEEEEEE ever since. That was 25 years ago. It never goes away folks. Stay safe!

I primarily listen to music in my car and it’s usually as loud as I can stand.

I listen at a low volume. I’m usually doing something else as well, so loud music is too distracting and irritating. I’m old, and I can still hear very well except for spousal deafness.

I love that the font size on this post is twice as big as all the others.

Depends. My IEMs have higher impedance than your usual pair of headphones, and then it also depends on what I’m listening to from my self-ripped .flac library. Right now I am listening to Savage Amusement by Scorpions and I can listen to it enjoyably at 65 out of 120 on my Walkman. The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is a tad bit quieter so on that album I have 75. Usually it’s around this volume range, but sometimes if it’s a raw grimey death metal album I have to go even higher.

tl;dr:

It mostly depends on how loud or quiet the album I’m listening to is.

Very quiet, I hate anything that’s loud.

WHAT?

Jokes aside, just over 50% system volume in general with apps and headphones maxed out. My hearing is so/so. I wish it were below 50 but it’s just too quiet like that

Usually between 75 - 85 dB

i usually keep it 2-4 clicks away from the limit that phones have. depends on how loud or quiet the album im listening to is. i used to have it all the way to the limit but that was when i worked at a much more noisy job

Some very arbitrary answers up in here

Full on speakers, around 50% to 80% on IEMs/headphones; depends on the max volume I can do without getting tinnitus.
