Music too loud (yes) with headphones

[Guest glemmy]

Perhaps I'm the only one with this problem, too quiet seems to be more common. :)

I like to listen to music while studying in a completely quiet room.

The problem is that the music is too loud, even on the lowest volume.

Any ideas? I don't want to change headphones since I like everything about them.

External volume control? Rather not :)

An app perhaps? Searched and installed a few but none of them let me "lower below the lowest".

It's stock so far, got it a few days ago.

woops, editing because I completely misread your question.

One of the original complaints with the blade was the low volume. Do you have the Swedish version of the phone with the 5mp camera? It's entirely possible that ZTE or the operator have added a volume boost to the phone.

I have never see any app or files that can reduce the volume output. Do your headphones not have inline volume control?

Yes, it's the Swedish from Telia (3,2mp camera, but TFT).

Unfortunately no inline volume control on the headphones.

I've seen lots of complaints about low volume, not loud :)

I use music player, which has a built-in volume control. It basically sets it's 100% as whatever you currently have on, meaning you can adjust it all the way down to silence.

Just put media volume on around 15-20% then open up media player -> preferences -> volume and take it down.

I got the same problem with my own earphone. It becomes normal when I use the original one that came with the handset.

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

i use the earphone which came with the nokia 2730 (phone is scrap the screen is broken)

because you can change the volume go to next or previous track directly from the earphone

There may be a minimum voltage required to drive the amplifers below which you'll just get nothing :(

I have a Huawei Ascend and as you point out the usual problem is that the volume is too low. What I have done to resolve my issue will likely work for you as well.

The Astro Player app is an mp3 player which includes an equalizer. I move all of the equalizer controls to max and it has the effect of increasing the volume. If you move all of the controls down it will have the opposite effect and make everything quieter.

The free version has 2 ways to get to the equalizer. One way will tell you it's not supported on the free version but the other way will let you do it. Test it and let me know if you need more help on that. Let us know if it works for you as well.

Thanks

I have the same dam problem and its pissing me off. i have great ear buds that drown out all noise from outside the earpeice and play music, but the dam blade is too loud. on my ipod they work great but i dont like carrying an ipod around with me if i can have a music player in my cell phone

[Guest Meizirkki]

Same problem here with 5mp/TFT (Finnish SL) Blade and I use Spotify for all music. My ears hurt after a long listening session with the lowest possible volume. ;)

EDIT: I'm using JJRLS5 ROM at the moment..

Happening to me too...

I am using Sennheiser PX-100 II, the reason isn't about what phone, it's same on any device I use. When using different headphones the output sound is low, headphones that seem to add extra surrounding sound is Sennheiser PX-100 II, Koss porta pro,Philips SHP-8900, AKG DJ K 518,Philips SBC-HL145,Sennheiser HD-650,Klipsch Image One,Koss PRO4AA and lastly NIXON Trooper Headphones.(Yes I own each of these headphones...I love to compare and save... a copy).

Hi Mr I have every headphone ;)

What is a good in ear, great sounding, discrete headphone for the ZTE Blade?

It will need to be very good at noise cancelling since I listen to videos whilst on the train and I don't want to disturb other passengers with noise leakage?

Thanks
