New problem - volume Sometimes when I turn on my Nano, the volume is very loud. Even when I turn it down to the lowest setting, it's blasting in my ear. I can literally set the headphones down on my lap and hear the music like a boom box. Other times the volume control is normal - I can lower the volume all the way down until I hear nothing.What gives? Is there some setting that I may be changing on accident? This is really annoying.

I have retuned 3 nano's for this problem. The nano sometimes doesn't recognize that the headphones are plugged in. The volume contol then changes the volume of the speaker but the headphones get full volume. If you cover the headphones you will be able to hear the nano speaker change volume with click wheel control. I called Apple and they say this is a hardware problem but said there weren't many people reporting the problem and I was just having bad luck. This happened less when I used different headphones, so the problem may be with the earbuds that come with the nano.

My sound is pretty loud. To pump up the volume u have to hold the button down. Mine is so loud that my so in his room is begging me to turn it down. I don't understand what happened with yours. I have no problems at all with mine. And guess what!! My phone volume is turned to half way and my speaker is still loud. I never turn my up all the way up. The speaker just takes off with its loudness. Love it�

I'm not sure why people say these are too soft. The volume, in my opinion, can go very high. You need to remember that you can adjust the volume on both your player (i.e. ipod nano) and on the headphones themselves. I usually set the volume on my ipod to maximum and then just adjust my headphones as needed. There is a small button on the left side of the headphones (mirroring the right side where you turn the headphones on and off); you hit the button to increase volume and hold the button to decrease the volume. Because of comments on the volume, I experimented with the highest level on my headphones (with my ipod on maximum) and the volume was deafening. I'm not sure why people say these are too soft.

I´ve been using my Monster iSport with iPod Nano and have not experienced any problem whatsoever. I can pause/turn up/turn down normally.

volume control is excellent. I usually turn my ipod volume up and make all my adjustments via the head phone volume control dial. I have never had a problem with unexpected volume changes even when exercising and jostling head phone line all over the place. And volume gets quite loud and quite soft with no alteration in sound quality or crispness as far as I m concerned.

You have to "dig" the asymmetry. The other "gotcha" is the volume control is just a rheostat type. It does not tell the iPod to increase or decrease the volume setting. I like he pink.

There is either one of two reason depending on the model 1. There is no individual volume control as in example on standard wired headphones 2.on Bluetooth and some wired headphones they keep buttons to a minimum so try either multiple presses on ::track forward:: or hold it down if that doesn't work consult www.avantree.com/FAQ.html If you do currently own the Avantree Audition 4.0 Bluetooth use number two you'll hear a short beep every time the volume goes up/down a level and a quick three beeps when its at maximum/minimum volume

I think the volume is loud. I usually turn the volume down because it's so loud. I use the speaker all the time and have no problems hearing.

Yes I have had the same problem. I think that it has to do with the AUX music device it's hooked up to, phone, iPod etc.... I haven't had it do that when I've used the built in radio. I believe if you go into the volume control of the device your using there should be a setting for that. Hope that helps�

Be aware that if you plug an audio source into the audio-in jack - the volume up/down buttons are disabled! In this case, the only way to control volume is via the audio source device (mp3 player, laptop, etc). This "feature" is not mentioned anywhere in the user manual and was an unpleasant surprise to me when I discovered it. I will be returning for a refund.

I found this same issue and resolved it. If you switch between bypass mode (to listen to music without noise cancellation) then to Normal mode, the headphones put the volume all teh way down so that you can't hear your music. You simply have to turn the volume up in Normal mode to listen to music. These headphones work much better than my old folding PXC-250 Sennheiser headphones.

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

Don't know about the Nano, doesn't change track with iPod 3rd generation, or with iPhone 3GS, or iPad, starts and stops music, adds bass, and has volume control, have no idea how it would change tracks. Sorry if this doesn't help.

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

On my device the volume both decreases and increases. It can be tricky because if you don't hold it down it will change the song if your listening to music through it. If yours does not increase, but it will decrease, I would venture to say that yours may not be working properly. You may want to consider returning it.

If you're still hearing sound from the nano's internal speaker, that would tell me that the connection has not been made. Once it's connected, the internal speaker is disabled.

I don't remember it being too low, It was usually too loud for my taste and comfort, perhaps there's a malfunction with the volume button in general?
