I don't know if it's my device, but having just started using the headphone jack I realize that the sound level is a joke. I've been told I have superhuman hearing and even I have to turn it up 3 clicks below FULL volume in a dead silent room to be comfortable--and I can't imagine running hours of music at that level is good for it either. How in the world are guys listening to music in public? This seems to be a well documented problem, but I'm interested to know whether this is universal or specific to mine. Considering that this is primarily a media tool, that stands out as a BIG problem to me lol. My little single AAA powered mp3 player blows this N7 out of the water. Any ideas, or have I got a lemon?
update: I've noticed streaming is much better than downloaded content, so the source is a contributor. I'll have to continue testing along those lines, but so far both are surprisingly quiet. Mild hearing loss would render it useless...I have MX Player with s/w decoder on, so I can get that extra 50% boost, but that's going to destroy my battery life, no?
