Loud.
Unless with headphones then I try to keep it somewhat moderate. But often its just throught my computer.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Quite quietly, though not too quiet to hear. With headphones (I have earmuff ones; can't deal with earbuds) I find that the lowest possible volume on my iPod is too high for certain songs. If I am somewhere noisier, I will never turn the volume up higher than a third of the way; if this isn't enough, the environment is just too loud and I won't listen to music until I'm in a quieter place. And even at a third of the way I often find this gives me headaches; I've got quite sensitive ears, it seems.
Without headphones, well, I don't have anything louder than my awful computer speakers at the moment, so I can't play anything loud even if I wanted to! I wouldn't, though. I don't find I get any more out of music when it's loud; if anything, my appreciation is lessened, because I have to concentrate a bit on the music when it's not being blasted at me--and because I am not going to have good feelings about a song if it is making my head hurt!

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

Fairly loud, but I do like being able to hear, so not loud enough to make my ears bleed or my speakers spontaneously combust.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Same. But I listen to music at a high volume too at times as well.

I really care for my hearing so i don't listen very loud. When i was teenager i was crazy about loud hi-fi speaker systems. Later on i switched mostly to headphones because i like the intimate rich detailed sound.

What's the point if it ain't loud? You need it loud to hear the contrast. Quiet is for forests and mountain trails.
