Why is the volume lower with headphones?

When I am watching something or listening to something using headphones, I can hear it as long as I am at home . But if I am on a bus or plane, I just can't hear it - does anyone else have this issue? Without headphones it goes really loud, wich headphones, not even half as loud,
Anyone? 

Get headphones that'll covers your ears completely (closed headphones) so that it isolate all external noise.
The impedance must be correct.

  • Why is the volume low?

    I am importing my CD collection and I noticed that when I play any of my songs back that they are really low. I can hardly hear them without turning up the volume all the way on both the speakers and my MacBook Pro. When I higher the volume, the sound is clear, no water damage or anything. Also, my speakers work fine for YouTube, system sounds, etc. it's only my iTunes library that has a low volume.
    Please help!

    After checking the volumne selection:
    Try restarting your computer.

  • Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Hey there Claudia,
    It sounds like the audio from the receiver is low when you are talking on the phone. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Receiver
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?

    Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
    On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    please help!! I have the new 2014 iMac 27" as well, same thing happen to me. Dont know what to do!

  • Why is the volume of the music on iphone 4s is lower than the ipod?

    why is the volume of the music on iphone 4s is lower than the ipod?

    thanks

  • Why is the sound low on my Ipod?  When I have my earbuds in I have to have the volume almost all the way up.  I have the volume limit maxed out also.  Same thing when I plug it into a boombox

    Why does my Ipod play at a low volume?  When I have my earbuds in I have to have it at almost full volume, and when I plug it into a boombox it doesn't play as loud as the radio or a cd.  I have the volume limit turned all the way up in the settings also.  All my songs on my Ipod were burned from cd's(if that helps) thanks.

    Sorry, I have the same issue.
    So far searching threads here is not coming up with anything.
    I have set aside my restore discs, to start the process of ripping the drive clean.
    I tried Omni Sweep, but all it did was confirm the space I counted up.
    Still does not show what's hidding. 113GB worth on mine.
    That software really boggs down the system.
    I could not load an email with it running.
    Good LUck as well.

  • Why is the volume so low on my iPad3

    What is the volume so low on my iPad3?

    They will never do any of the things you are requesting in my opinion. Apple doesn't care able what the customers want. They only care about what they think the customer wants. Look at iTunes. All music softwares are moving towards mp3tags except iTunes. It ***** because if I change my file name it no longer knows the file still exist. With mp3tags I would not care the name of the file. It would only care about the song title, artist, album..etc..It's still crap. Yet it's still being used by millions. I myself use it even though I hate it. It's all about numbers too with apple. How many device sold. Not how many happy customers. They will never allow SD cards since they would not be able to sell any device great than 16GB. No HDMI because they expect you to buy the $30 converter. No attachments because well they don't want to give access to the file system. No flash because html5 is the feature. App developers better get with it or apple would leave them behind :)...I think the multitasking is great.
    Since the first iPod came out people been complaining about the ability to sync with multiple iTunes. Years later it still hasn't change but apple stocks only grows higher LOL :)

  • Why is the volume changer button up so high on the new apple headphones?

    On the newest Apple Headphones, I was wondering why the headphones volume changer button so high. It is difficult to try to change the volume when listening to music because i cant see the volume changer button.

    I assume that you did not check before buying, if you had you would have seen that your Mac is too old for Airplay Mirroring to work:
    Supported Macs
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    And if you bought ML solely for that function you should remove it from your machine and get a refund.

  • Why does the volume maximize by default when I plug in my headphones?

    Every time I plug in my headphones, if I don't check first and lower the volume, the sound is automatically maximized all the way up and blares through my headphones.  Is there a setting or something to get my iPhone to stop doing this?  This has got to be the stupidest feature. 

    The volume is suppposed to return to the last volume setting you had when you last used your headphones, not maximum unless that's where you left the volume (this is not a "stupid feature", it is some sort of corruption).  It does not matter if it is headphones or an aux connection, the iPhone should remember the last volume setting for whatever was last plugged into the headphone jack, it can't tell the difference.
    Before you run off to an Apple store, try the usual fixes first:
    - Power OFF/ON, or
    - Reset (press and hold Home and Sleep/Wake until you see Apple logo, then release), or
    - Restore (connect to iTunes, initiate a backup, then click Restore button)  At the end, re-load your last backup and all your media.

  • HT1349 How do i adjust the volume for my headphones on the itunes library as everytime i listen to music on phone via my headphones the left ear is a lot lower then the right?

    I have changed my phone (iphone4s) thinking it was an issue with the headphones intially but then saw that it worked perfect in different handsets so thought it was an issue with the handset. When i went to apple they tried a pair of headphones on it and agreed the handset needed to be changed. When i received the new handset tried out youtube an everything was working fine. However, now i've put songs back on itunes it is happening again. I cant find any location in settings giving me the option to increase the volume.

    What you are asking for is not possible in iMovie 8.
    You will need to go back to iMovie 6 to do what you want.
    OR pull the audio into some audio editing progam, adjust it there and re-import into your movie.
    Sorry, quick & dirty does have it's down sides.

  • Why is the volume on my iphone 4s so low?

    On calls i can barely hear people but music and siri is loud and just fine..the volume is turned all the way up for calls so what could be the problem?

    I replaced my iPhone4 with another one and it was no better.  Later I replaced it with an iPhone5.  It was much improved. Why ?  I am not really sure, but when I got the iPhone5 either the speaker is better or the Plastic Cover is a little different.  I think the openings on my 5's plastic protector are larger and I made sure the plastic does not even come close to the earpiece.  My wife did not want my 4 because she could not hear well on it; so, I bought her a 5 also.  She likes the 5 and says she can hear better.   Improved earpiece ? - perhaps.  Plastic Screen protector not covering the earpiece - I am sure it is not, but it was not on the 4 either.  I think if you drop a phone it might jar the earpiece, but I have never taken one apart.  The Apple Store should know, but I took my 4 there and they only listened to it and said it was ok, but it was not.
    I think the earpieces are marginal and the circuitry are marginal prior to a 5 or perhaps the earpieces were not all manfactured by the same vendor.  Either way you look at it, if you have a problem hearing on a $600 phone, take it back until you get a good one.

  • Why is the volume on my MacBook Pro suddenly so low?

    The volume on my macbook pro is really low.  It used to be much better, now I can hardly hear people when on skype or listening to music... everything is set on high volume... help!?!

    Try:
    Reboot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Safe mode takes longer to boot than booting regularly. That is normal.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Why is the volume so low, and won't get louder?

    I'm trying to get more volume from the software "swirling keyboard" instrument, but it is way too soft no matter how high I raise it's volume. In the edit window, I can change the pitch, but the velocity slider is grayed out, and won't let me raise it. What can I do?

    you can only get an answer to the question you ask. if the question is wrong (as in the other threads) you'll get the correct answer to that question ... which is wrong.
    trust me, read the Getting Started bit, don't skim it. read all of it. then ask those other questions (in new threads. don't jump in on someone else's threads which have nothing to do with what you are asking. you'll read info that has nothing to do with your issue and get confused.)
    so far the volume issue is solved, good luck with that.
    one down.

  • Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

    When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

    iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
    Make sure they are all enabled.
    They are far from perfect, but they should help.
