Nothing Headphone 1 Sound Too Low

retrozoid

Hi all

Had my Headphones 1 yesterday.

When Ive tried to use them both the headphone volume and overall volume are set to max but it doesn’t feel loud enough. I’m stuck and don’t know If it can go louder. I have buds 2 Pro and yes I know they are in ear but they are definitely loud enough.

Any help would be great. I’ve tried some custom equaliser and this isn’t helping

further.retrozoid I recommend getting in touch with the support team, they should be able to help further. This might sound as a hardware problem. I can definitely not put H1 on maximum volume without my ears bleeding.

retrozoid I think iv figured out the issue. It’s called absolute volume and can be toggled on and off after you enable developer settings, search how to enable developer settings, then actually go inside it, look for disable absolute volume, toggle off, reset phone and this worked for me.

What device because I don’t experience the same?

Although when first used with my laptop it was quiet untill I used the web version of nothing x to apply a profile for that device.

Check with transparency and spatial off

Hi this is paired with my Nothing 3

Did you try to adjust the volume both on your phone and on the Headphone? There is a setting that decouples the two controls.

FelixWurm_1DusqX2QP4 I wouldn’t have a clue on how to check around the de coupling I’m sorry.

SAME!!!! Bought Nothing Phone 3 and these amazing Nothing Headphones 1, and I was very happy until I tried to turn up the volume to the maximum. A little bit dissapointed 😬 It feels like the maximum volume in these headphones is 70% of what it should be. Can we solve it? Maybe any firmware update from Nothing? I like them very much, I wouldn’t want to change them. Volume is a critical factor for me in this case

Also I tried it with my iPhone and Macbook. Nothing changed, still feel quiet

Chriso3 I might be wrong but I think they recently limited the volume to prevent crackling in the low-end for certain units in an update. You saying that they’re 70% of what they should be in that case is actually correct, as that’s exactly the volume level people complained about that crackling.

Just checked, these were the threads I was thinking about: https://nothing.community/d/38021

I had the same experience. Even with full volume and tweaked with EQ, I could still hear my fingers snapping; which is how I measure acceptable loudness. I am in the process of returning the headphones.

pollenjh really…. Very dissapointed. Thanks for your reply!
Will it be fixed in near future?

UPD: Have a firmware update today, installed, and…. Nothing has changed huh. Still want at least +15% of volume

Chriso3 Probably not, I honestly think it’s just a flaw of the headphones themselves. Although, you can always send feedback to Nothing in the Nothing X app about a device by:

Entering your Profile -> Scrolling down to “Support” -> Selecting your desired device -> Sending feedback from there.

It is a bummer for sure! But it is something a lot of people have made noise about, so sending feedback can definitely make a difference. They can still revert the volume limit, the issue was really only present while ANC was activated.

pollenjh Sad news. Will sell it and back to my Beats Studio.

Chriso3 It is what it is 🫡 glad I could help out

I also had the problem until the time. I was interested in Spotify settings. Go under the sound settings and do everything loudly. Now runs perfectly and the bass is finally strong.
