I have been seeing reports of the Z3 possessing below average volume levels for music playback through headphones. I was wondering if anyone with the experience of headphone volume levels for both the N4 and Z3, are they similar or is the Z3 even quieter?
Thanks!

I cannot compare - but Z3's headphone volume is real low. Even with in-ear headphones there's no chance of achieving volumes which might even cause a slight tickle in your ears.
Sony spoiled it, as usual.
PhoneArena rates the headphone output power of the Z2 at 0.29V and N4 at 0.28V. I find the N4's volume level sufficient for me. So I guess the Z3 wouldn't be quieter than the N4, given its slightly higher output power?

Hello,
I just bought these awesome yet crappy earphones that... has volume imbalance issues.
I tried to get them replaced, but the seller seems to be ignoring my emails after purchase.
I have plugged these earphones in to my laptop and adjusted the volume balance and it seems to have fixed it when using it with the laptop.
Also, I have physically discovered that the earphone wire that has the lower volume is longer than the other, which obviously mean that there are more resistance there.
So my question now is...
Is there an APP or TWEAK or SETTING on my Xperia X10 that will actually let me balance these earphones out?

Hi,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 that I use for music with bluetooth headphones. I've applied the headphone volume boost from XDA which has worked a treat for wired headphones, but I'm wondering whether it is possible to do a similar volume boost of the bluetooth audio output. Any ideas?
Thanks!

+1 I'm looking for the same thing. The max volume on Bluetooth speaker is always 10% softer than if you plug a wire into the aux input without Bluetooth. I wonder if there is a way to boost the volume so that it matches the volume attained from a direct aux wire.

I would try to see if there may be a Xposed module that may help or if you can use a compatible kernel with volume boost. Viper Audio may also help since raising the settings within equalizer to boost vocals/bass/etc if you'd like to try as well.
Are you going for hearing loss?
Did you ever find a solution to this?

I suffer from hearing loss (too many Metallica and Korn concerts back in the day) - because of this so-called handicap, I'm interested if there are any solutions or even alternative, suggested wireless earbuds that would accommodate my needs.
The earbuds I currently have are Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 - excessively low volume.

There is nothing that can be done. The volume for Bluetooth is not controlled via kernel as other sounds are. The limitation is hardware unfortunately.
I too have plantronics back beat go and they are very low. Other BT buds may be a little louder but don't expect miracles.
The only thing you can do is go wired. Sorry to break this to you.
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.
Right now i have an Xperia Z5 and my biggest issue is the volume when i'm playing music (either headphone jack or bluetooth)
The audio is just very low, i tried messing with all the advanced audio settings and i still can't get it to a decent level.
The best example i can give is in my car using an aux cable with my z5 at max volume, and the car stereo at max volume, i can barely here the music over the wind blowing on the highway
My friend's iphone on the other hand, same car, same aux cord, max volume, max car stereo, can hear everything clearly over the wind on the highway
Sorry if this all sounds dumb as hell, the main question is has anyone compared the xperia xz volume is when playing music, etc through the headphone jack/bluetooth vs previous xperia devices?
I do not have a xz. But the IPhone's DAC is reasonably good. I also curious about the Sony audio quality.
HTC 10 is maybe a solid choice.

Hi Guys,
So got my magic 2 and I'm pretty impressed for the most part. I'm just a little let down with the max volume on the device through either wired earphones or Bluetooth earphones. Maybe I was a little spoiled with my rooted 6p but I'm finding myself downloading volume booster apps which increase the volume but also distort the sound as a result. Does anyone else notice a lower than normal max volume on this device? Would official honor earphones make a difference?
Cheers
