[Europe]MP3 Player Default Maximum Volume Settings to be Lowered - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;17568888]The EU needs to make some way of getting people to actually read the OP, rather than just the title.[/QUOTE] That would be a good idea. Zapping chairs if you post without reading the OP? The dumber the post the stronger the zap.

[QUOTE=markg06;17568902]i dunno wut ur talkin baut dizzee rascal is d best innitttttttt. You should get some really annoying music and blast it back at them.[/QUOTE] if i get annoying music and play it back to them, they will only start dancing to it

[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;17568923]if i get annoying music and play it back to them, they will only start dancing to it[/QUOTE] Then play some classical, no one can dance to that. Unless they are doing some fancy dancing or some shit, but I doubt seeing that from a person listening to Dizziee Rascal.

Next thing you know we won't be able to breathe without paying air tax. Or something stupid.

You know what's going to ensue [Europe]Manufacturers start making headphones with larger volumes

It's their own stupid fault for blasting that shit into their ears, let them go deaf.

Fuck that I like my music loud

NEWS FLASH: EU IS GOING TO FORBID HIP-HOP AND HEAVY METAL FOR MENTAL SANITY REASONS /caps

[QUOTE=noahh;17568592]When this comes into effect it will be hacked so fast it's unbelievable.[/QUOTE] It is amazing that no one reads anything. It won't be hacked, it will just be disabled through the settings...

Good. Maybe my ears won't be raped by the kid listening to bad music so loudly you can hear it 3 rows from him in the bus/train. And I don't have to punch him in the face.

I piss people off because I listen to music in my car at full blast. However, it's not totally without reason, seeing as I have to have my windows open because I don't have air conditioning and I have to turn up my music to hear it when I'm driving on the parkways.

This thread has so many shit posts it's unreal, like 90% didn't even read the text, you can disable it, there's no downsides to it.

God damn these EU Death Panel socialist ear nannies :patriot: :downs:

[QUOTE=Hammertime;17568434]In about ten years everyone will be deaf.[/QUOTE] What? Can't hear ya, speak louder!

My MP3 player goes up to a reasonably loud level, you can hear it over pretty much everything and not hear it when your sat next to me. Some people have it loud enough to hear without actually putting the phones in their ears, which pisses me off.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;17571032]Just thought I'd let you know that 99% of the people that see you driving are going to think you're a tosser.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I already know that. But seeing as I know that, I don't really care. I like my music more than I like the feelings of others (99% of which I'll never see again). [B]Edit:[/B] And I don't blast it so loud that other people can't hear themselves think, but it's loud enough so that the car sitting next to me at the light could hear it moderately.

How about instead of blasting music from shitty earbuds/headphones, get some good earbuds so you don't have to blast it to drown out the noise. No, the ones that come with your mp3 player aren't good.

When I'm moving people can go around me, but when everyone is at a stoplight they have to listen to my music and I don't really think that's fair.

[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;17568569]Some devices already have the maximum limit setting until you override it already. It's not really the people with headphones that bother me in public, it's the chavvy cunts that walk around with their mobile phone out blaring music, that shit should be banned.[/QUOTE] And it's always shitty drum and bass music. Some DnB is good but what they play is atrocious. Last one I heard, I literally thought sounded like a pig snorting.

That's why I never give my Ipod to anyone. They play it on max volume and my earplugs just crack.

I'm totally for it. I damaged my ears during my time at school, where I listened to music at maximum volume almost everyday. I have problems understanding people talking and my TV generally is too loud (I often getting told this, while I think my TV is not loud) And for all the the people posting shit like "EU is forbidding 'insert trivial shit'.."-memes: Get out. It's nothing strange and 80 db is still loud. I have seen more strange shit in the US.

If not, I keep it going at its current volume. But still, it pisses some of the peds off.

Thats just fucking gay.

[QUOTE=acds;17567366]I don't see the problem with this, if people can't take care of themselves (which they can't, since it seems that 1 in 10 suffer permanent hearing loss) then limits like this one are needed. [editline]04:49PM[/editline] Yeah, damn them for trying to prevent us from damaging ourselves![/QUOTE] So, basically, you think that the government should tell us everything we can and can't do in our lives? Yeah, that makes sense.
