Can blasting music from earbud headphones damage them?

Question

Sometimes when I'm around friends I like to take my earbuds for my iPod and turn up the volume all the way so they can work like tiny speakers. However a friend told me that this is bad for the headphones. Is this true?

Answer 1

it is bad but who cares lol get warranty for it so if it breaks u get a new one haha.. but yeh it shouldnt break that easily

Answer 2

That is very true. They will burn out faster and it will take more juice out of the battery for your IPod.

The louder you turn it up the more juice you burn from the battery, and your headphones will burn out and not work as well.
