Volume wise on iphone and what to run first?

Questions and Comments
#1

so im using an iphone 10s max, and im really worried about volume like what it is the right volume?

iphone is about 16 (presses up to max volume ) and 0 to no volume so 16 presess is 100%
and 8 is 50%, how many presses and loudness do you listen to ? can 25%-35% 4-5.5presses achieve good results? and be effective? im using the same volume for both my ultima v2 and my qv2

also i read some people are having good results with only 15% so maybe thats 2 presses i think, but my concern is that im running it too low that i wont benefit much

also what to run first? should i play my ultima first or my major first,? im running them back 2 back

thanks for all the help!

If any can help @RVconsultant @DarkPhilosopher

With the normal mask of an Ultima: I go 1-3 presses, anything more and my ears would hurt and get tinnitus; much higher while on solace mask.

No Ultima, that is to say without earphones plugged in: it would depend on how close I am to the phone. Masked or ultrasonic, I don’t go above 6 presses. When the phone is in close proximity, I would go with 2 presses.

This is what works for me.

Edit:
Some people prefer louder because they’d respond to someone “yelling” at them, you know, like that obnoxious drill sergeant or coach motivating the maggots with spit to do things :stuck_out_tongue:

About your concern, your mind is processing all that’s around you, audible or not. So worry more about comfort is what I would say.

thats what i read i think i saw @Hermit or someone else say theyre going really low with volume and theyre having great results, with 5 presses i feel its comfortable but i feel i wont get all the sub input into my sub-mind since the rain drops arent as clear, however 6 presses is clear but its uncomfortable when listening before sleep

i get doubts a lot of its too low of a volume or its alright :rofl:

i go for headphones i dont use my iphone speakers

I use headphone mostly and I always use the lowest volume. I get results.

Ultima or Major first. I know people might have ideas on this. My thought is the most important thing is to play them, order of their play is likely secondary.

so its fine to run them at 30% or 32% :smiley: ? no need to be concerned of details of raindrops and the clarity of it ?

#7

if you use an iphone, how many presses do you press for volume ? :smiley:

#8

Lowest audible volume then :slight_smile:

#9

Saint also goes quite low I believe. As long as you can hear it, you’re good.

I will admit I (I’m sure I’m not alone in this) don’t like it too loud but still a but on the loud side. Not because it’s like shouting but because part of me believes a whisper is just as bad.

But there’s no denying lots of people get results listening to them at a low volume.

Headphones are generally still recommended though.

thanks! for some reason high volume causes me to sweat and have fast heartbeat but im still not sure

but i felt this when its at 40% or 50% it feels very intense

im going for 25% i can hear it but i was worried about hearing it super detailed but i guess it doesnt matter that much
