Can anyone tell me how to prevent it from coming on at top volume? hard on the ears if you forget and turn it on with earbuds in.

I have found no way, though not looking too hard. I remove my ear buds for power on / off and Bluetooth connect / disconnect. I run with volume on my smart phone at full volume all the time (saves power on the Blue Tooth, or that is the hope).FWIT - I have 2, one was English the other Chinese (maybe Japanese). The English one must have gotten lonely speaking English, it is now Chinese / Japanese also.

I don't recall it happening to me, but keep i4 volume on medium and control higher volume with phone. ..I usually turn volume down on the phone before disconnecting or powering off!

I use a little lotion around the ear canal to get my earbuds to slide in. It might help you so that you won't have to squeeze it.

Not here. I would unplug it and see if it still happens and if it doesnt, I would assume its something to do with the volume dial.

Same problem with ours, so suspect there is a defect. My wife uses this speaker with an iPod, which does have a functional volume control. Probably not much help, sorry.

I just hold power button till it says "power on" to me at obscene volume. make sure you unplug before turning on, i noticed it doesn't like to do anything while charging.

On airplanes I have found that I need to remove the volume limiter. It is a deeper are piece that the headphones plug into before plugging it into the device you are using. I hope that helps :)

Yea move your mouth away.. or with my cb I turned the volume down and it helped. I love this speaker it's extremely loud for the price.

yup - double tap the sensor on the ear piece to mute/unpute. slide your finger up/down the sensor on the earpiece to turn volume up/down.

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.

There is a Monitor dial that you can use to turn up the volume for your earbuds. I use 64 ohm over-the-ear headphones and it pushes enough power for those.

It MAY depend on volume? I hook mine up to my phone with spotify and have it for background music while I cruise, but I can hear if people are coming up behind me, which I want. I have never had mine loud enough to block out surrounding sound. I can hear both with my volume less than half. If you don't want to hear other people around you (which I don't recommend) then use ear buds.

Have you tried turning it up? Press and hold either the forward or reverse buttons for volume.

BW:I have found a way to fix this!! Try winding the cords over the top of your ears and then into your ear canal. In other words, approach your ear from behind, pulling the cord over the top of your ear, then pop the bud in. This as opposed to just putting them in and letting them hang down, where they transmit movement sound rught into your ear canal. This breaks the 'resonating' sections of the cord, and stops most of the noises from reaching the earpiece. Works pretty good.

Hello, turning up the volume knob (the one on the right) powers up my device. Good luck!

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

Hi Vanessa! The power button at the top has to be pushed a little harder but not really a big deal in my opinion. The volume buttons work fine. Hope this helps!
