I hate those things in my ears .... can't stand them. and whenever even using a headphone I will NOT allow anyone to control the volume for them. I had a very bad experience with some *sshole sending what seemed like a 5000 db signal into my headphones once.

As for monitoring, I monitor between 80 - 90 db for like 75 % of the time with louder peaks for short amounts of time during recording.

Mixing I tend to do a little bit louder but I change volumes all the time and hardly ever mix longer then 2 hours non stop without a break. And never mix longer then 8 hours a day. I will listen loud to very loud on the mainfields for a while and then switch back to lower volumes and continue on the nearfields.
