hd5 too quiet?

[liverdes]

i just bought this player, and although it is very nice looking, i think that it is way too quiet! even whn i have cracked the eu limit, it is still too quiet! does anyone else have this problem? also, there are 14 tracks in my collecion that, for some reason, i cannot transfer to the player! can anyone help me?

Are You sure, that You cracked the EU Noise restriction?
Did You Confirm by pressing play button, or went back without doing it in the Service Menu?

You probably need to check c if you've done the uncap right. Or you could be using high impedance head/earphones. I use e4c canalphone and i think volume about half way is adequate. Otherwise, check your ears? j/k

lol, i must have hyper sensitive ears, when do u people turn up the volume so high? and if u need to, u might wanna resist doing so, cuz ur gonna kill ur ears!

Maybe the best way, would be to put earphones properly into ears

i do understand your discontent. It's quiet. You just have to live with it. tiny flash-players (any brand) are even louder. I suggest you go for AKG K26P (the light in my life right now )

If you have cracked the EU limit which I don't think you have by the sounds of it, and it's still quiet get a cheap small external amp. Just search headphone amp on ebay and set HD5 to line out and play through the headphones.

Also, what type of headphones/earphones are you using? You want to use phones with at least 102-104 db/mw sensitivity for good volume.
