I just bought some Amperiors after getting frustrated having to play my iPod at full volume to get a barely adequate blasting through my HD 25-1 ii's. But I was surprised to discover I STILL have to play the iPod at 95% volume. What gives? I thought I would be getting equivalent volumes much lower down the dial at 1/4 the impedance. Why aren't I?

That is odd indeed. Ohm is not the only factor though. I was trying to look up sensitivity, but it seems that they both have the same sensitivity.

It's weird that you have to play at 95% volume on your amperiors. 95% with my amperiors would deafen me within a minute. Are you sure you don't have a volume limit set on your iPod or something?

I just checked the volume limit and none is set. I'm confused. Should any more volume be expected with burn in?

Definitely not.

Have you tried different sources?

I'm waiting for my amperiors to come, i think they'll be here after 2 weeks, then ill give a try...

It's better on the iPad but I can still listen on 100%. I wanted 100% to be too much!
