Sony NWZA818 volume level

I bought one of these last month and it's a solid little MP3. Great sound quality and bass, however, if the bass goes up the volume level goes down. I'm still using the supplied headphones as they're pretty decent. Does buying another set help with the volume level any?

I had a Creative Zen Micro before, and while that lacked on overall bass, it can't be beaten for loudness. I miss it

Is there any work around beyond shelling out ££ for noise canceling headphones?? Budgets a little tight due to possible house move.

Never had it on. Admittedly the Zen Micro was quite treble heavy. The EQ settings are a little lacking on the Sony.

Yeah, that was on. After turning it off bass heavy songs do have more treble coming through.

Put clingfilm over the 3 vents at the back of the suplied headphones.

Why would I do that?
