Being the good little western consumer i am, i just bought one of . And i can barely hear the fucker! If you're walking alongside traffic, the music is literally inaudible, even at full volume. It's not the headphones (bought some sennheisers), not the AVLS, it's just... rubbish. Tis quite a newish model so i'm guessing this is in response to the iPod lawsuits? Ta for the concern sony but i'd like to at least have the option of sending myself deaf by 50... Anyway, i'd be grateful if anyone could recommend some kind of amp for between yer player and yer phones (do they exist?), otherwise this is headed straight for ebay. God damn. |

Hi belb. You can turn the volume limit off through the service menu. It can almost double the available volume. |

in my experience volume levels always drop considerably during mp3 encoding. from what I've heard from friends of mine the amplification built into iPods is pretty shit as well. I tend to boost tracks before I encode for use on my mp3 player - not so great for overall quality of the track, but then again, I'm listening to mp3s in an outdoor environment, so you know, quality wasn't very high on the list anyway. |

No, it's Sony. They massively limit the output volume on all their HD players in the EU. If you turn the limiter off then it is like having a new player all over again. |

I used the service unlock on my HD5 and the difference was huge. My mate has a A1000 6GB model and he didn't get the same increase that I did, although some tracks where a lot louder than before. |

Hey, Belb, I have one of the very same players. Turning off the volume limiter does increase the volume. but I agree it isn't enough. Fortunately, I was fucking around with other options in the test menu and I managed to find an option which made it louder still. Now, it is definitely loud enough, as loud as my Ipod (which died after 2 years) was anyway. I cant remember what the option was, and couldnt find any mention of it on the net, but its there, and it makes more of a difference then turning the limiter off. Good luck |

Ipods piss me right off. Ill never be buying one again, not after the short life span, single computer functionality, and the short battery life. |
