On my mate 10 pro compared to my iPhone!?
I have the Sony WH1000xM2’s.
Volume seems to low at full volume compared to being at my preferred volume at around 80% max on my iPhone!

For those who already have this device:
How's the volume? I know that my previous Android device (ZTE Blade) had quite a weak volume when I use the media player, is the headphone output much better
and louder?
Thanks!
already been shown to have aclose to the loudest speaker of any android phone yet. also youtube video already comparing it to the nexus s speaker. yes, its extremely loud, better than any other except the xperia arc i believe.
The volume is very good through the headphones (much better than my hero). The load speaker is good, but ill never listen to music on it; all phones have poor loudspeakers when it comes to playing music. They just can't handle bass yet.

Speaker i would say moderate in sound level .
Speaker like this its range will be set in the middle and no capacity for extra Bass or Treble .

You can get a boost to the headphone output using PowerAMP too, it has a pre-amp setting in the EQ that makes a modest but noticeable difference to the output volume with headphones.
Not sure if I'm just getting old, but dang the volume seems way too loud when I try and use headphones on my GT 10.1 Wifi. Even on the lowest level. Any way to lower the default volume level for headphones?
Yes, this is a volume level software defect stupid Samsung engineers screwed up. Its mind boggling how they tested this and thought to themselves "Yes, this is good".
Going from mute to the lowest volume level is ridiculously loud in a quiet room when using either the speakers or head phones. The funny thing is going to the next 2 or 3 steps up barely increases the volume. Its all screwed up.
It really does suck and Im not sure Samsung has any plans on fixing this.

If you rooted flash a kernel that supports voodoo sound, then download voodoo control or voodoo control plus and lower the headphone amplifier.
That does not work. Voodoo control does not work to lower the volume. Yes there is an option to lower the gain on the amplifier but it does not work and its very buggy when you map the hardware volume buttons to the voodoo gain control. I tried it.

Voodoo control works for me. Rooted with Starbust UEKME and pershoot's kernel. I have custom IEMs with an input sensitivity of 119dB at 1mW. I have to set it to -55 dB on Voodoo.
ya but thats just for headphones. Does not change the speakers volume.
But it would work for the op as he was talking about headphones

For some reason I don't have this problem. I have never used lower volume then about 25%, usually it's at about 50%. BTW my hearing is just fine. I use a-JAYS Three headphones.
I think the impedance of the headphones plays a role in this. Headphones with lower impedance are louder.
Yes impedance definitely plays a role but the problem is with standard headphone impedance the volume is WAY too loud.
This is a big problem with the tab 10. Speakers play way too loud at the lowest volume setting....you hear me Samsung!! You hear me!!!!!
I just tried the built in speakers, one step up from muted and i can hear that it's playing very quietly if i hold the tablet normally. I need to put my ear next to the speaker to really hear enough to understand what song is playing.
So clearly my tablet doesn't have this problem.
On a standard UK rom here and my speakers appear to be fine, not too loud. Odd.

There is nothing odd about it. Your unit is exactly the same as ours. Different people have different hearing sensitivity. My hearing is excellent and above average so I can hear the music play too loud even on the lowest setting. Others will figure it is fine as hearing sensitivity varies.
The volume levels are simply all screwed up. You can see for yourself as turning the volume from 1 to the next 2 levels and the volume barely increases. Going from 1 to 2 almost does not even increase the volume at all. Going to 3 only increases it slightly then 4 and up increase at too high of levels to make up for the lack of volume increase going from 1 - 2 and 2 - 3. The levels are all screwed up. Horrible job by samsung.
I also have this issue!! The volume can' t be changed when using headphones and the volume is too loud for normal use
You can buy headphones with a volume control or a in-line volume control adapter for headphones but that still does not resolve the issue for the output to the speakers.
Is there a way to increase the maximum headphones volume ?
Yes buy another headphone i am already on samsung one and soud is awesome
i use Denon AH-C50MA and sound is great
What's you headphones impedance? Mine piston 2's are loud even 3 volume bars @ 16ohm
Well i don't care about my earphones impedance as my previous smartphone (S3) could easily drive these with louder sound.
I think i will probably give a try with Viper4Android.
I also find the Honor 7 volume levels too low. The phone speaker as well as the headset.
Call volume is low as well but you can fix that by setting it into speaker mode.
The low headset volume annoys me the most. (I use HQ headset)
I found the service mode menu and had hoped i could increase headset volume levels there.

Sadly, there is no option. I tried some apps from the playstore but they didnt do anything.
I'm currently (officially) participating in the Android 6 Beta so am not rooted or anything.
Is there a way i can increase the level already?
Or maybe once I have the final Android 6, can i root/unlock the phone and increase the volume in another manner? I want to stay on the original roms, dont want to flash something else on my phone.
Anyone else finding this annoying as well and has a fix?
I am running 80ohm sennheiser dt880 and the volume is high enough for me so every mobile headphone with 32ohm should be easily powered to painful volume . Not sure which media you play, but if you need higher volume i suggest a mobile dac as headphone amplifier
Hey there!
I'm jumping off the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ship, as it has suddenly died with all my data (thanks, samsung, for using slow and low quality
EMMC flash memory!)
just received my Mate 10 and the key issue (if i should dismiss weak vibro) is low headphone volume.
I have high-quality 35 ohm Denon headphones that deliver outstanding sound quality, and had no problems using them with samsung devices (Note 4, S3, tablets). I usually listened to the music on 60-70% volume and it was REALLY loud).
Now, with Mate 10, I had to max up the volume, but even at 100% it's not enough. Well, its sort of ok mostly, but not so enjoyable, and many tracks say "a bit more volume please".
Is there anything that can be done? I remember that custom kernels allow increasing volume, but that means rooting. Could anyone give an advice?
What is their sensitivity? If I use it with my Hifman HE400i the volume is also a bit low. They are 35ohm and have a sensitivity of 93dB. If they are really good headphones you wont be able to use them to their full potential plugged in to a phone anyways, so it will probably be better to pair them with an external DAC/amplifier. The usb-c port can output a bit of power, so you can probably use a decent usb DAC like the audioquest dragonfly for example. I use a hegel super DAC without any problems.

sensitivity 104dB/mW.
Well, the thing is that i used them with Note 4 and galaxy s3 (both are phones) with no problems - the sound was outstanding and volume very decent.
I did some more tests and found out that volume in videos that i see with VLC player is much higher (and more satisfactory). So the port is physically capable to deliver. Maybe should try a different media player?
You could try Foobar 2000. There is a setting called replay gain in the menu that will probably be able to boost the volume.
I'm considering replacing my Xiaomi mi 11 ultra with a Sony Xperia 1 v.
I'm using a usb to minijack converter without DAC to feed my headphones. The volume and amp power is good on my Xiaomi. But on my previous phones the power was lacking and I had to use a dac-amp. How is it with the Sony phones? I read that the quality is good. But that is not gonna help me if the output volume is too low.
Most modern music is ok since it's recorded at high volume. But some older albums needs to be turned up to get the same volume.
What is your experience?
