Does anyone else find these TOO efficient? I have to turn the volume almost all the way down on my HTC One (M7) to listen to music.

I listen to a lot of Diana Krall type jazz and classical piano music and have not heard the sibilance in the headphones. Sadeo Watanabe's sax seems smooth to me in my head. Not a normal shortcoming of the phones but anything is possible. If you less than 500 hours on them just let them play a while longer at normal volume with a variety of music and see if it goes away.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

Yes I have and still do. I use earbuds but it's still not all that great. There are other issues too, do you have a problem with clarity? The touch screen is not very "touchy"...very frustrating. Battery also gets extremely hot Ihave to turn it off after a while. I would not buy one again.

I use mine for running and they cutout all the time. It's annoying when listening to music and downright frustrating when listening to podcasts. They also can be too quiet when listening to podcasts, even with the volume all the way up. I want to like these but can't for the aforementioned reasons.

i think it's because the bass is too high on the headphones. I had to download a 3rd party sound equalizer to manually turn the reverb down.

Definitely skip songs forward & backward - the volume control's been spotty for me but I'm not sure if that's down to the headphones or the fact that I run custom ROMs on my phone.

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

Yes, it's odd since the volume works perfectly. Ok, RTFM to me. The other commentor noted that you have to hold the button for 2 seconds. Solved - thanks. I don't listen to music too much using it since it's only one speaker (mono). When jamming I pull out the Bose headphones. :-)

They isolate very well. You're not going to have to turn the volume up much at all. Usually, maxing these headphones on a phone or iPod isn't going to be too loud, but the isolation usually makes it loud enough. I'd suggest getting a good DAP or a powerful phone anyways. I think your biggest concern should be how hot your ears will be :D

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 would say they cancel it out well, in a normal setting they you will not hear anything other then your music, (my parents get mad because I cant hear them over the headphones) but for gym use, I boost it up maybe like 1 notch, however it also depends on the device your using, also I'm not one to listen to my music at extremely high volumes as well. Also the Sound quality is incredible.

Jonah, these are not noise cancelling head phones so it you're looking to shut yourself off from the world these are not for you. I feel like these were designed for the bast sound, and yeah you can turn it up so you can't hear anything from the outside world if you would like. There is some leakage when you have them turned up. I work next to a lady that pays way too much attention to everyone else and she can hear them when I have them about 75% up. These are meant for the pleasure of the listener.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

You are correct. At least with my Galaxy Note 2, you have to control volume with your phone.

They work, but I can't figure out how to use the volume control that's built into the wires. Doesn't seem to affect anything. I think it's specifically designed for volume control on an Iphone. Hope that helps. The do sound very good.

Only the pause/play button works on Android - not the volume control buttons. I tried them on the HTC One.
