Why do you need the volume so high? On my IEMs, half the max volume is as high as I'll go for regular listening. Max seems like you'd blow out your ears. If you really want to have higher volume without ruining the sound, your best option would be a portable amp.

What kind of earbuds? Some earbuds have a very high impedance and should be driven with an amplifier. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4S earbuds that need an amplifier to drive them.
DSP manager can increase the listening experience dramatically. Just rip it out of the cm7 beta or the blue chronic homebase update.

You can get a decent headphone amp for less than $20. E.g. this one in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B0026RJQJ6/ref=pd_rhf_shvl1
If you listen to a lot of music and use nice earphones/headphones it's definitely worth getting one of these. Just make sure you get a rechargable one cos the batteries don't last long...
i seriously think there may be something wrong with your phone or maybe your earbuds...
of all the phones ive tried the atrix has all-around the best sound and volume... its one of the reasons i ditched the SGS2 for it. really no need to go and buy an amp. try getting better earplugs or see if theres really something wrong with your phone.
My wife called me saying her iPhone headset doesn't work on her new gs3. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. Anyone know if this is true?
More than likely it is. Most iPhone headsets don't work. She doesn't like the included headphones with the gs3?

They are in ear noise cancelling and not safe to use while driving and uncomfortable fit for her ear. The stock iPhone ones are great or she just got used to them. She had the evo4g and they worked great so I know it's ot a droid thing

Aren't ANY headphones in your ear while driving not safe?
There are apparently two kind of wiring in the head phones. All headphone with mic connectors have four terminals, however the order they are wired up is different.
I know this for a fact because my captivate headsets did not work on my Sony X10.
In fact if you try to press and hold the accept call button on the headset while playing music you will realize that they quality of music suddenly improves.
Solution either get some different headset or get http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
The above product worked well from captivate => X10. I probably would in your case too

They sound just as good to me
Hi,
It is kind of really annoying, the sound (earphone) isn't lound enough, I really like when it is loud. I do have good earphone, on my iPad, it can be so much loud that I could get deaf. Anything to fix ? I've tried 3 differents Volume Booster on the Google Market and it makes a little louder but still not enough and break all the sound quality.
Thanks you ! I'm runing Stock 4.1.1
Anyone plase?

Nope, it is what it is. It sounds like you already tried something like Volume+ to boost the volume. It helps a little, but it starts sounding bad if you crank it too high and you could possibly damage it too. I have Volume+ set to 7, which gives a bit of a boost without messing up the audio much.
Yeah I see :/ Is it a hardware limit or software related?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I think it's hardware since every software hack to make it louder gives a little boost and then it sounds like crap.

Really Why not
It's not necessarily hardware, my asus transformer had low volume, then an os update sorted that all out. Have you tried out different apps to see if the problem is there on all of them. I noticed that netflix volume is pretty low but youtube is fine. It's a bit of a pain to do, but it might be worth backing up your apps and trying a factory reset.
Oh well I change rom so often that it will unlikely change anything

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I have a pair of ATH-M50s and these things are a beast!
So that being said, my PC, macbook, and iPhone 4S, before I traded it in for this, are really loud. The GS4 doesn't go loud as it should. I used poweramp as the music player, but it's a hideous music player and clogs up the screen.
Really upsetting that Samsung limits the volume for us to hear. Hopefully someone has a fix for this or something?

Seriously?? You think the volume is low?? I think the volume through both speakers and headphones is quite high and a lot clearer than my previous phone, an HTC Vivid, which utilizes "Beats" audio.
But I do believe that Beats on the Vivid was simply a software modification of the sound like an EQ adjustment, rather than anything like a hardware change.
And just for reference, I use a pair of Denon AH-D1100 headphones quite frequently.

Thanks, don't know how I missed the post above mine. Oh well. Patiently wait I suppose. What is a good sound mod that will also boost volume? I am using PowerAmp, but some of my albums are not very loud, and generally running 320kbps.

On the newer htc phones beats is more than an eq setting. They have built in amps now for both the speakers and the headset jack.
I've honestly used all of the eq settings on most of my devices but it never compared to actual stock beats settings or how great voodoo sound was for older Samsung devices as well as the og Asus transformer.

The DSP manager in Cyanogenmod worked well for me. I have no desire to own anything that says beats. Just waiting for Dan to release his secret unlock. I use bose qc3's, they're no seinhesier's or AT's but they get the job done.

On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.
The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.
i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!
Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).
The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.
