compared to ordinary cassette tapes, have very little
noise. If the volume is adjusted according to your usual
expectations of noise, high volume may damage your
hearing.
● The sound escaping from your headphones may annoy
people around you.
In particularly crowded places (such as on trains or
buses), reduce the volume.
