European Commission suggests maximum MP3 volume levels
The European Commission has suggested that maximum volume levels on MP3 players as well as portable media players be set so that users’ hearing can be protected. that would mean even the iPod will have to fall under the same volume limits ruling whether approved, which is a good thing anyways – after all, reports have shown that up to 10 million public in the EU are facing permanent hearing loss from listening to loud music for prolonged periods. The EU
wants to settle for a default maximum setting of 85 decibels, where users can override that setting and touch 100 decibels whether they so desire. What would you do whether the same ruling were to apply Stateside?Permalink: European Commission suggests maximum MP3 volume levels from Ubergizmo | Hot: Nokia Booklet 3G Review
