I recently purchased the Sades A60 headphones from amazon. They are way too loud!!! I have turned the volume down to 1 and they are still super loud. What else can I do to make them quieter?
Thx

The issue is those headphones are really sensitive at 16ohm, 30mw per 1Khz. What motherboard/soundcard you are using for an audio source? Whatever it is, it is outputting a lot more power that it needs to be driven, and can maybe be solved with software plug-ins for your media player.
