How did you measure 80db with headphones is the question i want answer to.

I use a decibel meter purchased online. They can be had for 20-30 bucks. Put it inside the cup of the headphone and then seal it off as if it were on your head (either with cardboard or with your hands). I shot for 70 or less, personally.

That is actually not accurate at all, hence why you need one of these to accurately measure such things.

Cool, only 8.89 euro. A steal!
