    Well THIS would've been pretty helpful like 4 years ago. Since 4 years I have started wearing earbuds. I used to exercise with it everyday and then use it to watch videos like atleast 2 hrs daily. Now after watching the video, my right ears suddenly feels pain. Well, at least I play music and watch videos with low sound, below 50%.

    the 60% volume this is the most irrelevant thing here. you might have a 18 Ohm pair of earbuds plugged into your iPhone 6S and get a really loud sound at 60%, but I may have a 62 Ohm pair of headphones that i use for travel and at 60% i get barely any sound out of my phone. And if you add a portable amp to the equation, it becomes even more irrelevant.
