To avoid future hearing loss, I know that we should only listen to iPod at 50% of the volume at most when using earphones (and only up to 45 minutes per day).
If you live in a city, it's very difficult to follow this guideline. I find that at half volume, I can barely hear the music if I'm walking on the street, riding the bus or taking the subway (when I'm most likely in the mood for listening to iPod). There is so much noise in the city that my iPod is virtually useless when I follow the safety guidline.
Even on a Sunday night, somehow, there is still enough noise outside to make the listening experience less than perfect.

That means the only good time or place to use my iPod is when I'm at home on a quiet evening, or in another similarly quiet setting. But then, what is the point? I might as well listen to music on my stereo system. Or I simply have better things to do. The purpose for iPod is really for on-the-go, portable listening, when we can't conveniently carry speakers or when we don't have anything else to do.
By the way, I listen to classical music on my iPod...

You can trade your standard issue earbuds for noise cancelling earphones. They aren't cheap, but they block outside noise so you can hear your iPod without cranking it up.

My biggest concern with iPod-wearing people that they don't really hear the surrounding noises that well.
If you crank up the volume you don't hear the cars, if they have quiet engine. I think you're risking your life more than you should.
