Yep. Or use speakers.

Part the reason I never got it. You don't have it you don't juice it up.

i say no it the person using the Headphones or headset that are over doing it setting the volume way to high.

to me i lost hearing from shooting a 50cal off for 4days, dang earplug falling out of my ear more then any volume/headset could do.

but more and more kids and adult love to listing to big rock bands like they are in the same room with them, crank up the volume like crazy.

every see a windows class moving? do to the stereo is set way high, it the same with the eardrum sooner or later they to will break no more sound to be heard.

but there is good news for USD-72.000.00 if? you lost hearing in one ear! they can plug-in a item into the area of the ear and you can hear again, but better news it is to keep the volume down to save more money.

poor low income family and people can't even try to have this done and they are the one in most case have lost hearing in total.

its been going on way before Ipod hit the streets.

BADDOG i try the Ipod it it not even stereo at all, more like mono to me. what people will pay to stay with the Wave, it will die soon. sad thing the price tag is way high for a small item.
