When doubling the field quantity factor by 2 the level increases by 6 dB.

When doubling the energy quantity factor by 2 the level increases by 3 dB.

When doubling the sound pressure value by 2 the level increases by 6 dB.

When doubling the sound intensity value by 2 the level increases by 3 dB.

The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit that indicates the ratio of a physical quantity relative to a specified or implied reference level.

You usually don't double decibels - you double the factor (ratio).

Look at the link "Subjectively perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power)".

What is the equivalent db level when listening to earphone or headphone volume?

dB is short for Decibel, or one tenth of a bel. Bels and decibels are unlike any other measurement, because an addition of ten means double the loudness of the noise. For example: 60 decibels is the noise generated from a regular conversation, however, 70 decibels is double the noise; and 80 is double that.
