v, it woud be a hazard to turn up these things, but only because you can't rip them off your head immediately. You can grab 'em by the cord and yank them out of your ear hole, but I woudn't.
These are about the least-sensitive headphones I've ever bought, so everything I've plugged them into can put out full volume without causing me any personal damage. The headphone.com people suggest that one buy their little mini-amp to create more headroom and even more accurate sound. I think I will, just to see what it's like.
They say the standard Etys provide 20-25db of isolation so I should think these would make for "ok" stage monitors. I can't imagine how hard it must be to get a good mix for isolated in-ear monitoring. If you have to sing do you get a louder vocal channel for your ears?
