I have a 1st gen mini and an iPod photo 40gb. I need more or less full volume on the stock buds and a shade under half for my Shure e2s.

I used GoPod, thus lifting the volume limiter, so now about 50-70% with my Triports, and thats pretty loud.
I listen to just about everything. Last edited by Deltablade; 04-05-2005 at 01:46 PM. |

Oh did I read something that Euro vs US pods have volume limiters? Or am I going mad?

With sony ex71's I listen at 50-60% volume
Yep, Euro pods have volume limiters. There are programs to amplify it and get rid of the limiter.

Seems I'm the only one who consistently listens at around 30-40% volume, which I guess is pretty low compared to most, heh.

I use the stock buds with the Griffin EarJam thingies most of the time, and inside I'm usually at 40% or so, outside I bump it up to about 55 - 60%.
I listen to all kinds of music (although mostly rock, pop, blues and jazz) Note to Ichijoe, nice sig! Long time fan myself...
