Very Low Headphone volume - Sennheiser HD 201 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've purchased this cheap, but good cans yesterday and the volume is extremely low on the Transformer (Stock) and good as it should be on my Desire (Root, MIUI, but no Volume hack) and on my friends Desire S (Stock).
What can be the problem with my Transformer?
Edit:
Using Default Music app and Poweramp (purchased) makes no difference.

the higher the impedance (in your case 24 Ohms) the lower the volume. if you plug in some 8 ou 16 ohms earphones the volume will be "louder".
Being a music addict, I suggest you buy a headphone amp rather than using "volume hack" or a pre-amp gain (as poweramp) those will kill your sound.
I have some AKG K518 and yeah the volume is always at 14 or 15 but I would'nt have it louder, plus mine are at 32 Ohms......

Strange is, that my second headphone (Allen&Heath Xone XD-53) is working just fine and it has 36 Ohms impedance - it have the same loudness as on the Desire.

Software related issue - Checked today with the A&H ones and not as loud as before

[Q] X-mini II speaker with Desire HD

I just bought this xmi x-mini II speaker
the sound is incredibly loud and very good bass for its size
when connected to my laptop, ipod or iphone...
while connecting it with my desire hd its volume has just enough loudness,
on max volume on phone and max on xmini speaker...
i wonder if how many power output from the 3.5mm earphone jack the desire hd have,
does it cause this or is it just a software issue since the speaker has built-in battery that could last up to 12 hours on normal playback so i guess power output is not an issue.
anyone got this speaker?
I've got one of these; awesome little thing and excellent battery life too.
I've not tried it in any other phone so I can't judge how much louder or quieter than other devices the headphone output on the DHD is. Still, 'loud enough' for me...

I may have the solution, I also have a X-Mini and it's possibly the best gadget I've ever bought, the problem is not the X-Mini but it's in fact your Desire HD or should I say the software. I found the fix for this by accident and posted it in the general forum and it worked for just about everyone. Do this, plug in your X-Mini play your music and put everything as loud as possible on the phone and on the X-Mini, while it's playing open up the phone and make a phone call, the call needs to go all the way through, end the call and presto magic !! Listen to the sound difference... be prepared to put the volume down. If this does not work try downloading volume ace from the market and turn everything up with that.
I found this fix one day by accident when I had my phone plugged into the audio jack of my car.

Volume level with headphones too low?

I have had the z5 for about a month and i am happy with it. However I have found the volume with headphones too low. Most to the time, i have to double check to see if it can go louder.
To ensure it wasn't my headphones, I went to to an electronic store and tried all the top end headphones but just found it not loud enough.
Maybe i am going deaf but has anyone experienced similar results?
With high impedance headphones, it could be a problem... I'm using a pair of 32ohm earbuds and the volume level is pretty good (¾ is loud enough for me)
Indeed, the volume is very low with my 600ohm Beyerdynamic DT-880, but that's normal: These headphones are not meant to be used with a phone, they need proper amplification to sound their best.

Boost Headphone Volume?

I got some new over the ear headphones and I have to turn up the media volume up all the way but it isn't loud enough. I don't really want to carry around an external amp at the gym.
I'm not sure of the impedance of the headphones. I've seen that there's a mod on here to increase the volume but does it decrease the audio quality? What options do I have?
I'm on XPower 3.0.

Having issues with audio levels with headphones.

I just recently ordered the 1more triple driver earbuds. They sound great. But I have to have the volume maxed out to get a decent level. I'm mostly using Google Music to listen to music. I was having similar issues even using a pair of cheap JVC earbuds. But with the 1more it's even worse. I'm wondering if it's the amp limitations or a faulty device. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
I have a pair of AKG Y20Us and sometimes I have to max them out to get a comfortable level, and sometimes max volume is way too loud for me, I'm not sure what the deal is.

Bluetooth Volume?

Hi All,
I have recently come back to the OP7P after using an XS Max. I have been using Airpods 2 with the iPhone and the volume on Bluetooth was superb. Most the time I listened with it a few steps from maximum.
Now with the Oneplus I'm currently using the Cambridge Audio Manomania as they had really good reviews but the volume is no where near. I've tried changing the absolute volume setting, flashed the booster in magisk and tried using AVCRP 1.6 but it's still really low.
Does anyone know any Bluetooth buds or USB c headphones that will at least deliver similar volume to the Airpods?
I recently purchased these Treblab earbuds and I am happy with them. They don't sound as deep as my Phaiser headphones but when the volume is raised on the Treblabs it's pretty crisp sounding and volume is pretty high. I want to add that I have never used the apple airpods though. I just downloaded one of the viper audio mods and I'm going to see how that interacts with the Treblabs.
Over all I'm loving them though..pretty loud and my work environment is noisy

I've Xs Max too & I'm using First Gen Airpods with 7 Pro & They get pretty loud , equivalent to iPhone. Only Thing I noticed is that maybe battery drains faster. I'm not rooted, everything is stock
Maybe I'll have to try airpods again just wasn't sure how well they would work.
Was thinking of powerbeats Pro as well but no way of testing them before hand
I got Amiron Wireless of Beyerdynamic and I am fine with them.
