worthless SOUND quality, how to improve earbud sound volume

[LENNYEDGE]

it seems futile trying to get louder volume on earbuds.im not gonna blow 200 on buds expecting it to be better.is there a limiter preventing louder volume. ANY GOT A CLUE.my earing is excellent. using S7EDGE.

If you have the screen on it'll give a disclaimer about volume. If you don't have the screen on and accept the warning it'll never go higher than 75% I think it was.  All Samsung phones do this for some reason.

its louder now/about time. all depends on what media i use. MILK MUSIC powered by slacker sounds best/slacker always been the best.

I really surprised you need it louder. I usually can only stand my volume with earbuds set on one notch above mute and sometimes that is too loud.

You don't have to spend a lot for good earbuds. I use el-cheapo JVC earbuds & they have more than enough volume no matter what I connect them to. And they sound utterly fantastic when connected to a dedicated mP3 player. Sounds WAY better than any smartphone.

Check the sensitivity ratings when purchasing earbuds & you should be good to go. The higher the number, the better.

for my 800 dollar phone i want more bang for my buck/unless you own the s7 edge/ you might not understand the sound deviation as i do lately/mine at one notch is barely a whisper. ask any with same device. if it were sony or htc, i would be in heaven

I have used HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Asus (Nexus), Nokia, Apple devices and SanDisk MP3 players with the same brand (and sometimes the same set) of headphones and all of them have been set a the low end of the volume scale and most of the time at one notch above mute to enjoy my music and not have my eardrums hurt afterwards.

Personally I would never willingly purchase an $800 phone especially not a Samsung.

i've had good sound quality, plenty of volume with what was in the box with an s3, s5 & note5.

oh my,not a s7 experience yet. something's got to give, that's why i will continue to dig. gotta be another s7edge user that will dig where i'm coming from. all else is moot.

I don't have that problem you are experiencing. All that annoys me is the 75% warning. It should only have to tell me once. This is a new thing Samsung does.
