I like the AirPod Pro’s for this when I’m on the streets. I can listen to music with one ear on relatively low volume with noise cancellation. When I use the same volume and disable noise cancellation, I have to turn up the volume around 20%.

This makes so much sense in hindsight. Like I'm conscious of the decision to bump up the volume, but never even thought about the possible damage. Thanks!

Whoa - I do zoom calls with one headphone (not loud) and noticed ringing at night!
