Any volume adjust add-on to headphones?

[Lech]

I just got the Koss KSC 75 and they're loud as hell on my PC. Before with my Koss, i could always turn PC wave volume all the way up and PC master volume all the way up, so all I would need to use is the volume adjust whenever watching movies, listening to different songs, etc. because each movie and song has different volume levels. Main reason is because while gaming, my sound is very low and my music volume is very loud. Is there any physical add on I can put on either my computer or headphones as a volume control knob? Thanks.

If you have Radioshack (or any decent audio shop) around you, they should have a add-on volume attenuetor.

Go over to the Koss site and do a search as they have a product available that does exactly that. The only link I've got to give is one to Snufkins Australian store which stocks them, but it will give you an idea of what I'm on about

www.headphones.com.au

Ah ok, i was looking for a cheap one @ ebay or something so i was mostly looking for what they are called, but I can't find attenuetor. Is there any other name a volume adjustment thing goes by?

Yes, "attenuator". I bought a Shure volume attenuator for about 10$ on ebay, and it works fine. Did a search and there's one up right now.

Is this the right one?

The description says For use with the Shure E2c, E3c, and E5c Sound Isolating In-Ear Earphones but it should work with any headphones right?


I also found one on radioshack, but they're all out

Also is there any other type of device that has a volume adjust as an add on? Thanks.

Thanks

I would not use the Shure attenuator in conjuction with other headphones -- they did not work very well at all with the UM-2s.

Try this instead =)

Wow!! Looks like a perfect fit!

I have a questoin though, they do not effect quality right? So I can goto the local radio shack and get one for cheaper (since shipping is $5). Anyone know of any other alternatives?

Found another volume control that's much cheaper w/ longer cable!
