Thread-topic: Level setting with headphones + own device

Dear auditory colleagues,

Is anyone aware of a robust volume setting procedure for when participants are doing speech perception tasks with their own devices, say with online testing (headphones connected to tablets, laptops, etc.)?

I know there are some convincing binaural tests to check people are using headphones, but what about the overall level setting?

Best

David
