Hi Steve,
FWIW ....
I'm a CW only guy and use phones and speaker about
equally.
I fiddled with the sidetone level a few times when I first put
my K3 (S/N 56) on the air, and haven't touched it since.
I -think- my hearing is "normal", and the level is set at 30.
I just tried both ways of listening with attention paid to level,
and I don't hear any difference. I wonder if there's some
"issue" with the phones you're using? I tried your level and
yes, that level is LOUD. Have you tried a different pair?
I have both a Heil HS and a pair of lightweight RS phones
and both produce the same level.
