XDA Headset really quiet

[Anonymous]

I am using the original XDA headset and I have the volume on the unit set up to max.

However it is really, really quiet on the headset, so much so that I have to wear phone earphones but still its almost in audible.

My question - is there any way to increase the volume further on the headset. By the way its fine when I put it on speaker, or I use the phone directly with no headset.

Any thoughts?

Silly I know, but have you checked the volume control on the chord?

Volume on XDA is at maximum

Yes the phone itself may be on the highest volume, and this is something I did when I first got my xda...

have you checked the little slider that's on the earphone cord, as even if you have it set to max it's still controlled by the slider on the cord itself. Try flipping it the other way or something...

Is there already any solution to increase the volume? The XDA volume is already on maximum. It is good enough by quiet enviroment, but the benefit for this headset shout be to use it during driving. With the normal driving noise you can not hear anything. Please tell me any feature or software to make it possible to increase the volume for headset.

Thanks for any help

there is a volume control on the xda, and there is a volume control on the earphone wire (a slider).

however, because the xda earphones were not designed to fit into human ears, they tend to slip around and hence the sound is not directed straight into the ear, giving the impression that it is not very loud. you can check this by physically holding the earpiece in your ear and moving it around, till you hear an improvement in sound.

two solutions. You can either find a pair of the soft foam cups that wrap many earpieces. Or you can buy a converter jack for the xda, that will allow you to plug in a standard jack on some better headphones.
