I trying again, but now matching the volume in my MacBook Pro and this are my results from maximum of 16 volume steps the MPB is offering: 9 in USB C mode, and 13 in BT mode. Using volume step 13 in USB C mode with many albums I going deaf quickly. So, like you saying, I repeating exactly your same words because is happening in my case: "My experience still stands relative to the above parameters mentioned."
Also, by the way, in your original post you saying "it's a mode that many of us have considered to be borderline unusable". Many?? Several people complaining about not sufficient volume in BT mode but not in USB C mode.
Just to err on side of caution again, I hope we are having a healthy debate, and not a tit-for-tat.
My previous post was framed as
matter of fact on personal experience, aided by other responses, and hoped that this would not be taken as a slight against anyone.
If, for any reason, that did not come across, then I apologise, as I am not attacking your or others' opinions at all.
As before, we are using two completely different systems and parameters, so our comparisons are not only both truthful, but exclusive and incomparable.
Unfortunately, I do not have a Macintosh/iOS system to help compare my experiences, which is a shame
In regards to volume, I am not commenting on how loud I wish to listen to music at all, nor what is reasonable listening volume.
My commentary is that there is, at least on (Samsung) Android devices connecting to Solitaire T headphones, a significant difference in volume when using Bluetooth HQ and USB-C DAC mode.
To me, as an end consumer, this is unacceptable. The volumes should be closer to each other (regardless of
quality heard or perceived between the modes).
If, based upon your aforementioned experiences and posts, there is
no difference in volume when using USB-C between an Apple device connected to Solitaire T headphones (in USB-C DAC mode), then this is an even more of an oversight, favouring Apple end consumers than Android users.
This, I also find, unacceptable.
Finally, I am a little sad that you are pointing out my post regarding my mentioning of other users who have relayed similar experiences to mine.
When I said
many, this is based upon the (my assumption) small number of owners who have posted about their experiences of owning Solitaire T, and a subset of those owners who have voiced concerns regarding USB-C connection and volume.
Even if that percentage is low, it is significant.
In my opinion, I do not believe that there are a large number of Solitaire T owners, thus my use of the word
many was stated within context to the above.
I should not need to explain this however, as it is needless and moves the conversation away from the important information we are sharing, so unless you wish to share why you felt the need to point out my word usage, I would rather hope we can agree to move back to the conversation to our continued discussion of experiences and findings mutually, learning and sharing our highs and lows with others.
