What is the Power Output on the Headphones?

Hello,

I recently got the V-Moda M100 Headphones, which have an impedance of 32 Ohm.

When I listen to Electro, I tend to put the Volume near to max (insert Discussion about hear loss here Grinning_Face ), since I want to feel the basskick.

But since I got the V-Moda M100, I noticed that the Smartphone doesnt have enough power, or atleast the limiter kicks in.

Above a certain volume level, the music volume starts to "bounce" (gets louder and quieter) at the parts where heavy bass kicks in.

As far as I know, this is due to the limiter kicking in, or just simply the device is reaching its level of power output.

Everything is perfectly fine when I use my 16 Ohm Inears, but the 32 Ohm is seem to be too much.


I wanted to know how much the Power Output at 16 or 32 Ohm is on the Xperia Z5 Compact, to know how much the next device should have atleast?

Cant find it anywhere.

Turn off dynamic normalisation.

it is already turned off, cant be the problem.

Only audio effect which is turned on is "automatic optimisation".

But still, thank you Slightly_smiling_Face

Have you tried setting the eq
You can normally get good results shaping music that way.
For techno, I go
+2,+0,+1.5,+3,+4.5
And set bass to 8

that is not really the issue.

Does somebody know what the PowerOutput of the Z5 Compact is?
