Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read this.
I've lurked here a decent bit before, used the reviews to decide on a ViSang R03 / Brainwavz M2 before, and liked it a lot.
I just received a free Meelectronics CC-51P, and I do enjoy it already, but it is quite a lot quieter than my old IEMs, a bit too quiet.
Maximum volume is usually about where I'd like it on average, but I can't crank it up any more when I need more power, whereas the R03/M2 could have me satisfied at about 60% volume or so.
My options as I see them are:
- Amplifier?
- Add a boost when applying album ReplayGain when converting from FLAC to MP3 for the Droid
- Use a volume booster app on my Droid
I'm guessing that's roughly the order of quality, too.
I've usually heard of amplifiers being to increase _quality_ of the sound, but can they make the sound louder too?
Are there any small, cheap amps with long battery life that are worth considering?
I'm also checking Google, etc., but I'd really appreciate some help with this.
Any other suggestions to increase volume?
I've already tried finding a better fit for the tips (may try foam tips), but they're locked in pretty well.
