Hi - just wondering if anyone is having the same problem...

My iPhone 5 seems to be very quiet when playing music through headphones - I've tried three pairs including the Apple ear pods, a pair of B&W P5s and some sennheiser earphones, and all of them seem quiet - much more so than my previous iphone 4. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, is there a way to adjust the maximum volume?

If I can't resolve it, I'll return the phone cos it's the most important thing to me. Can anyone recommend a phone with a really great mp3 player with plenty of kick? How are the Lumia phones as music players? Or the Galaxy S3?

You may well already have done this, but have you checked that the volume limiter isn't on? Settings > Music.

Yeah - I checked that. I was hoping that was the problem.

I've just worked out how to boost the volume in iTunes, so now everything's louder but distorted! I miss my iphone 4!

I would say my iPhone 5 is louder. Especially with the new ear pods..

I've had the same problem. At first I thought it was just because I went from a HTC with Bests Audio to iPhone, but iPhone Earphone volume is really low, especially when you compare it to a 4s

You may have a faulty phone? The iPhone 5 with the new ear buds sounds just amazing.

My fifth gen touch also sounds awesome with the new ear phones.
