I purchased these a few days ago and still breaking them in,  I was at starbucks today and could barely here them connected to my surface book at full volume.   I forgot to bring my fiio e17k portable amp with me today - these headphones sound great with an amp but not great on their own.

Something must be wrong with connection, output lvl, etc Mine can be way to loud through an iPhone.

I disagree - what they need is a very snug eartip - the only one I have that fits securely is the largest size Sony MH1 tip...

Get that right, and they're quite usable (using them quite happily out of an iPhone 7 Plus) - get the fit slightly wrong though, and - agreed, they are then a bitch to get to sound good, and - leak sound in - and out, like no-ones business.

Even with a snug eartip.... they aren't very loud unless your source has some power.

its odd very low sound on my surface book - great sound with my fiio e17k connected to it though
 
I am running a v4a / dolby altmos mod on my s7e and it sounds terrible - must be the settings
 
on my note 5 with no audio mods it sounds good and gets pretty loud as well
 
but I do believe it sounds much better with power

It really does need power, I don't care what other people say. These things shine with power, if your device has anemic output you will always be disappointed. Even if the volume gets decently "loud" it wont sound the same without a real amp of some sort.

Agree. I have the Fiio x7 with am1 module. My regular volume setting is 110 and it's just right.

I reckon this will sing further with the more powerful modules.

Use comply isolation 600 or comfort 600 tips. I am using 1More Triple with comply foam for about 3 months and I have better isolation. I am listening generally at 50% - 55% volume and very little sound coming from outside and it's when if the track is at a relatively silent part. And I must say with default silicone tips it was not so bad, too.
 
I am using it in the bus, metro etc.. I have no issues at all, I never needed to make volume 70-75 or over. And how is a train you are using, that is making so so much noise??

I've put comply isolation tips on them, BA's are still a step above but it's much much better now.

Good to hear!

How do we define loud?

Using the LG G5 standard output, which is gutless, I could not agree more, and - again with the Samsung S7 Edge - you could argue that its quite borderline in terms of volume, but - they're comfortably powerful / loud out of an iPhone 7...

I will say that the treble opens up once you go into the Dragonfly Red territory, and - yes, there is considerably more headroom - but, to be fair, where these like to leak noise out, I wouldn't want them up too loud out on the road anyway - don't want angry glances from fellow commuters! (these isolate well enough at a moderate volume to be usable on a train, which is the main thing for me).

Something's going on. I was just on Amazon and the 1More Triple titanium is priced at $84.99. Down from the normal $99.99.

Yes well that's what I mean. While it can get loud, it isn't "full" until you have something with some power.

So that could be what we in the USA call a sale

Costco always has them at $79.99. I bought mine when they had them on sale for $69.99. I turned around and bought the 1More dual drivers at $49.99.

I got a free set of duals for pre ordering the quads.

Costco had them all the way down to $59.99 in January. I'm not much of an IEM user but at that point I couldn't pass them up.

Are all pre-orderers getting dual for free? I did not know this.
