I see complains about low volume speakers. How is the volume with the headphones? My wife is hard of hearing but she's ok when having headphones on.

Head phones work great. I bought a pair from dollar general for ten dollars and they work great.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

Iv found you can get the bass pretty high well low :p and iv had them extremely high volume wile testing tho i leave it in matrix mode due to it sounds clearer and more even wile still getting the surround sound effect.

The quality is great (tried with my good-ole Sennheiser HD600). And of course the speakers mute :) And please read my review before making decision.

Hi, I bought this for my daughter and she hasn't complain about it. maybe some people bought the defected ones. I don't know but the thing doesn't sound very good but its not horrible either. Ive heard you can upgrade the speakers but it already sounds loud enough.

You should have any issue. The headphones are great quality and each ear has it's own volume control. I don't have bad hearing but I think they will be just fine.

You use the volume control on what ever device you are using the headphones with. Laptop, CD player, DVD player. I have had mine about a month now and like them.

They are not as good as over the ear models, but still quite good. If you keep the volume very low, you hear surrounding noise, but at normal levels you won't hear much.

I have no problem. Still the best headphones I have ever owned. It forms to my head and sits pretty tight.

That was a concern of mine as well, since the design is supposed to be kind of open. I usually listen at about 1/3 - 1/2 max volume, and a couple of times I took out my earbuds and held them in front of me and I couldn't hear anything. So I think they're pretty decent at directing the sound, although this is obviously not a thorough test.

Great! I usually adjust the volume about half way and I'm hard of hearing. This is with both headphones and ear buds. Hope this helps you. I spent a lot of time researching thiis selection. Right now I'm listening to my MP3 (Sanso) pluged into the "Aux In" jack. One of many options available. Best wishes Gil

If your listening to Led Zeppelin or Mountain at 3/4 volume there is sound leakage. Although it's not bad. If your listening to something mellow it's not noticeable. Again sound is great,bass is really good and there light and comfortable in my opinion.

Yes the headphones volume is independent from the device your paired with sometimes I forget that so when it beeps to indicate that's as loud as the headphones go I realize my phones volume is supper low so I need to turn my phone up. As to the sound quality, obviously there not beats but at about mid volume on both head phones and device I'm able to affectively drown my roommates Skype call out as well as down noises of public transit out.

I personally think it's fantastic. Now keep in mind I'm not an audiophile.....but I've listened to it at fairly loud levels and have never heard any distortion. This is, of course, as long as it's plugged in. If you're planning on listening to it with the battery the volume levels go significantly down. I'd say they are ok if you're wanting some background music in a small area but if you're looking to use the speaker as the primary source of attention or in a large area you're definitely going to want it plugged in.

I have Beyer 880 250 ohm headphones and I'm happy with the volume level. I doesn't drive them to ear splitting levels, but certainly plenty for me lets call it decently loud. Sound through these headphones with the player is wonderful on well recorded material. Be sure to adjust the output level setting on bottom of player to the highest of the three settings when using the 250 ohm headphones.

Ok I can only speak to my personal use. I only listen to HD with my Bose OE. I enjoy the sound quality of the over ear headphones. Hope it helps
