Listening level on Aaton Cantar X3

[KOKOMO]

Hello everybody,

This post to have your feedback about your listening listening level with a Aaton Cantar X3 and a Sennheiser HD25 70 ohm.

The older I'm the lower I listen. A few years ago I was listening at -20 db, then -22, -26, - 26 and today -30 dB with the same headphone and "headphone safety level" at 0 on the Cantar.

Of course at 50 years old there are some frequencies that I hear less that at 20,  so I should listen louder than when I was young ?

My ears are now quickly tired but I think I still have a good audition !

What about you ?

Most people tell me, that I'm using a very low listening level, but it works for me.

-32 on Cantar mini with HD26 (in a studio)
-30 to -28 on Cantar mini with HD26 when I'm outside

My headphone level is -27 normally with HD 25s on the mini, occasionally lower about -30. I think it is about the same on X3 but it’s a while since I needed the larger track count.

I listen at -23 with a HD26 pro (100 ohm) on a Cantar Mini. 

 

But most of you seems to be using 70ohm headphones so these levels make sense.
