Default [Q] Low call volume using headphones

Morning all,

Love this phone, love love love. What I'm worried about though is the in call volume on headphones. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the supplied Samsung ones or a set of Sony ones the volume is so low that the person at the other end is in audible.

I have no problems with volume on anything else (as in music player on in call volume using the actual phone)

Anyone else experiencing this or am I just very unlucky.

I've noticed this too. When having earphones plugged in the call volume is just too low. Last night I had to plug mine out and xall again because I couldn't hear her properly. Good point

this is absolutely the worst news possible, because i make 99% of all my calls with my headset. you guys are saying it is not usable? most of my calls are on the freeway with loud raod noise.

Not sure about volume with the earpieces with mic that came with the sgs2 but my sony earphones volume was quite low during call. I get calls when I'm listening to music a lot.

Does it have HAC mode? Setings > Call settings > HAC mode. I set that on my SGS to increase call volume.
