What is the sound bleed like ? Will I be able to use it in library playing over 50% volume level ?

Very little bleed. Should be fine. Mine broke at left wire with lite use so beware

No sound bleed. But they are immersive and 50 volume on these will hurt inmost devices

Regarding sound bleed, these don't bleed for me, but then I have never used these that loud in a library. These headphones don't have much noise isolation also, so not good for commuting.

I clipped it onto my laptop and used a 440 tone and it registered a perfect pitch A ( I was bored and wanted to test it.) You should have no problems.

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.

My experience is that it will play adequately. I use it all the time. But I do believe the Fuse is not charging at the same time, and it will run down. MY Fuse does not 'dock' properly into the little shelf, but I was told I could plug my mp3 into speaker with a very short cord that I think came with it. Can't remember, but I bring the cord underneath and the player lays on its side in that little front tray. Works ok.

I keep HiRes music files on mine with up to 32/194 Hz and have no problems. Haven't tried video yet.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H; classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

"Dear Sir/Madam，Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.Could you tell us the sound source you are using?The sound experience will vary depending on the power of sound source used, HE-400 works well with our player like HM650,HM802 and HM901, as per the feedback from customers.If you are using a amp, generally the outputs of it should above those of german (LEHMANN).Any questions feel free to contact us.Best regards,AlvinHifiman customer service team"

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.

I can't speak to "high pitch"; when I have a DVD playing, the sound is just not great overall, has to be turned way up. Adjusting the settings to "movie" doesn't help a whole lot. A case of getting what you pay for, I guess; external speakers might help?

None yet. Given I've had it only a few days. I tested it out with a few different songs, rap, and rock to test the different levels, and so far so good. The best sound that I got from it was from any blu ray movie that was playing, it sounds better than the television (which is still awesome).

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

Yes to both questions. The player has a speaker that plays clearly, without distortions. You may, also, if you choose, plug in ear phones. I love this small player, it slips into a pocket and I can listen to calming music, when the surrounding noise (voices), gets irritating and loud. Nice little unit, can listen for hours. ^_^

Happy Birthday, Joey. I don't know, I haven't had that problem with my player. Of course the turn it off and then back on is the first thing to try. Have you heard the songs played OK on your player yet ? Because something might have happened when they were transferred or in the recording itself. Otherwise maybe try different equalizer (EQ) settings.

right. i asked since i had read at least one comment which stated that the unit had troubles with standard cd's but not sacd or dvd-a. please let people know what you find once you get it.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

It's not terrible. It causes strange audio bugs in certain games for me where it loops the same sound over and over freezing whatever program or game I'm in. Could be driver related not sure though. I keep mine disabled.
