Apologies for ignorance of terminology. Earphones - the ones that go in the ear, don't need costly noise cancellation and can work things out at much lower dB levels. And most importantly, they let _us_ decide what to listen to, instead of having to listen to music which is competing in the market solely on the basis of loudness.
I agree that listening to stuff too loud on earphones is bad for the ears, which ought to live longer (the ears that is) - but if one is letting oneself hear ultra-loud music, then I guess it's better to let the person live less.
If it's just the competition in a place with ambient noise, or with other music that is driving the loudness wars, it is indeed a shame.
Hence, long live earphones.
Does _anybody_ read the 4 or 5 page long Tos? And who has the time? There could be all kinds of nonsense in it!
And for an experiment, probably the guys at Google might have already done this -> added terms like 'All my property will belong to Google after x time of having an account' in that huge document nobody cares to read.

Earphones sire. And within Slashdot, I suppose there's no question of going to the pub to listen to pop :P
