I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

Indeed the sound is muffled. The case looks and feels very nice. The 3 design flaws to the case (earphone opening, Microusb port opening, and the speaker muffling) might be something one can live it. If you like plugging in your phone to your car via aux cord to the headphone jack then you might want to consider another case since it most likely won't fit. HDMI output cord will also not fit.

It sounds clear and the volume is average at best. If you are hearing impaired, you should look elsewhere. Hope that helps.

I'm not. Bought 1 had problems with it emoting a constant error tone. I talked to the co, and within 4 days they shipped me a new one. I still use the "broken" one - just with no sound. The new one they sent me has had no problems. I truly love them.

I have the same problem. The sound is so low and I have the volume up as far as it will go . I bought this for my porch and I do not use it because I can't hear it. I will send it back.

Not at all. Works fine with me. The thing that muffled sound for me is when I got a keyboard cover.

I tried the SwagU. Music is excellent, but listeners still report that I sound muffled or 'tinny', so I went back to the good ol' wired headsetMy phone is an iPhone 4

I would think if you are actually hard of hearing it is probably not loud enough for you. I only have this one so I can't recommend something else.

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

Thats it. It's a problem with this headphone because otherwise they sound great. Check out the Sony MDR-1RBT, it's way better overall.

I don't think that the sound is muffled or hard to hear. Actually the Otterbox provides a small "surround" environment for my iPod 4. Thus it very slightly enhances the sound.

Mine is great earpiece volume wise, however no one can hear me with the throat mic. also check volume knob is turned up.

The sound quality is distorted. Maybe I just got a bad one but after trying it a few days I sent it back. I was dissappointed because I really liked the size and ease of use. ;0(

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!

Mine sounds a lot better with the mike on. Much richer sound. Have not used it enough to comment on normal vs distance.

i experienced the same thing, you have to make sure the volume is all the way up on your phone and in a lot of cases take your finger and press on the earpiece for better listening, also the headset is very fragile always keep in charging case when not in use.
