Well I bought a Creative Zen not to long ago and I've been experiencing problems playing music. Basically my headphones(UE Super fi. 5 EB's - 11ohm) cut in and out after I turn the music up so loud. I was just curious would an amp fix this problem? Also, my headphones work fine with my stereo unit along with my computer, it is just when I plug them into my mp3 player they just fail after they get so loud. This is a BIG nuisance so I would be happy to know if an amp would solve this problem. -Thanks.

I'm a newb, so go easy on me please.

...Anybody want to ask him what volume he's listening at?

Could the Zen be faulty? That shouldn't happen IMO.

Most probably.
But that seems like a workaround of the real problem to me. That you most probably have a faulty Zen, since its amplifier cut out.

Replace zee Zen...

zen micro has a well documented problem with the headphone jack. however i suspect this may not be the problem since it's only at higher volumes.

Try with other phones, see what the problem is. It's unlikely that it's specifically the combo of Zen and Super fi.5.
