Using the music player, my new Bose in ear buds have very limited volume. There is no adjustment anywhere that I can see to correct this. Can someone please help?
Bose earbuds and others like them tend to have a higher impedance than regular cheap-o earbuds. The result is better sound, but lower volumes. The surest test for this is to max out the volume on the BB and test the Bose 'buds against the set that came with the device. If the Bose are quieter, impedance is probably why. You'll probably get similar results with other portables as well.
It's an extra expense, but you may want to look at a mini headphone amplifier. They're usually about the size of the battery that powers them. A few companies make them now that high-quality earbuds from companies like Bose and Shure are becoming more popular.
MCPasty, thanks for the information----makes sense. However, I can use the buds with my new iPod Nano and the the sound and volume are off the charts. I did try the Blackberry with the cheap iPod buds and the volume was improved but not great. Hopefully, the new OS will do something about the whole media player mess.
