To what db level does this device compress loud sound. Current device compresses to 85db but it's wearing out.

I don't remember exactly & can't find anything written, but I believe it's in the 82-83 db range. I do know they impress me. I need hearing aids, for everyday use, and these seem to enhance hearing as well as my hearing aids. These have the advantage of sound suppression. I'd wear them all the time, but my hearing aids were furnished by the VA, and these I had to buy. So, I only use these for hunting, shooting & working in a shop where loud noises are common. I'd buy them again, if these ever give up on me.

NR rating of 26, good battery life, programmable and I believe compression to 85, good audible volume control. Had older Walker and this is an order of magnitude better, able to shoot my Smith 500 Magnum without discomfort. Extremely happy with unit.

I have no idea. I returned it because I felt it was dangerous. The tubes got stuck in my ear canals & required a doctor to remove them.

You fart relatively loud you may be familiar with it's output. Mine blew after six months with a modest little stock amp in my explorer. Went back to the stock paper cone sub and is way better (dvc bose). IMHO this is garbage fond a better one by a reputable company.

It doesn't improve it per say, just makes it louder. If you want improvement, then you need to purchase/upgrade your DAC, cabling and headphones.

I can't use it at anywhere near full volume since any base tones become thuds. It is good for background music. No difference that I can notice between battery or plugged in.

I compared the Fugoo to my mom's UE BOOM last night. The BOOM blows the Fugoo out of the water (louder, crisper sound, deeper bass, not as tinny at high volume) and it's $30 cheaper. I read about the firmware update that "makes it louder". I will try this and report back.EDIT - I upgraded firmware from 1.00.14 to 1.00.53 which enables "loud mode". It made no difference.

no it is not ...it has to play loud ever with the half power . Except if you loudspeakers have very low sensitivity ...lower than 85 db. Check also the settings of your phone and your pc , especial the phone volume could be lower when you connect it to headphones in order to protect your ears .Also try different interconnect cables sometimes they dont fit well. If it nothing of them then probably your AMP is faulty

I just bought a DB30K player. I freaked out when I saw your post. What LFE issue are you talking about and how will it affect a novice user?Michael

You want to look at dB SPL output...I saw a spec sheet saying that these produce 108 dB SPL compared to the next model up which produces 115 which would be dangerous as 112 dB SPL is the level at which permanent hearing damage occurs. 108 dB SPL (sound pressure level, or how we hear volume) should be enough as it is 5 times the SPL of ambient room noise. (every increase of 6 dB doubles the intensity) Electronic specs really have to do with matching the amplifier to the speaker (in this case the small ones in the headphones) hope this helps some. btw I am not Kevin I'm using his login now.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

I played 'Bell Bottom Blues' from Derek and the Dominos at full volume. The quietest passages were averaging 55 dB and the louder ones 80 dB. Measured from 30 cm or 1 foot from the XBOOM using an iPad Air for a source. I can't speak to if this will work in your situation.

It has a volume button which takes the sound louder or softer if that is what you mean. It is a great device I love mine.

This unit is significantly louder than the Sansa Clip Zip, if that helps. Plenty loud for what I need.

Loud isn't always better. It depends on your need. If you need more volume get a headphone amp.

I'm happy with mine. It's actually fairly quiet for a gas fired backup generator. If you vent the exhaust away from your house, it helps. I really have no idea of the db level.

Well, I downloaded an app for my phone but I do not trust it. My mild speaking voice is registering at 90dB on the app. I can give you an estimate though. Talking is between 50-65dB and I can talk to my wife without raising my voice while she has it on high. So, I'd guess it falls around 55ish.

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?
