Softly softly

I usually listen to my iPod on a medium-ish volume. Last night I thought i'd see how low a volume I can comfortably listen to podcasts at.

To my surprise I discovered that I can listen to podcasts with the volume bar just a millimeter from being completely off. It takes a minute or so to get used to, and it has to be a quiet room, but after a while I couldn't really tell the difference between this volume and my usual volume.

Doesn't work so well for music. Bass is hard to hear at low volumes.

To preserve my hearing I plan on listening at as low a volume as possible from here on.
