"in need of LOUDER earphones..."

You'd think sony were an untarnished quality name, no? well, compared to the old mercury one i got from SR (which lasted about 2 months) it is as loud as the noise cement makes while it's setting...

so, is there any way i can get earphones that are LOUDER? i mean, the ones they supply are quite shoddy, so can you recommend any earphones to me that you yourself tried and found they were louder then the ones supplied?

Only if they have an additional amplifier, which is very unlikely.


When it comes to headphones, you can rarely go wrong with a pair of Sennheisers ...

I actualy thought the Sony ones were loud compared to the Phillips ones I have. Ofcourse that was until my sister broke them, now they only work in one ear and go crackily.

I have a Goodmans personal cd player and the earphones I got with it are great. You can adjust the sound on the actual player and then also with the dial attached to the headphones. If you listen to it at full volume your ears are likely to bleed.

Head into Richer Sounds, a pretty well known music store - should be one in your town, and pick up a pair. If you cant see any Goodmans ones then I would ask for some "loud ones" - the staff are usually very good.
