Zen Vison:m users - make them LOUDER !

[R B Customs]

i love my Vison M. but the first thing i noticed was that it was very quiet.
on my old zen i wouldnt DARE turn it to 25 volume, but the vison was different

anyway i found that was because of the EU laws on bla bla bla.

you can install the US firmware from us.creative downloads, and there you have it ! no more volume restrictions.
hope this helps.

I suggest leaving the Vol cap in place and getting some IEM's or noise cancelling headphones so you don't go deaf.

ive got sony IN ear phones as well as beyer DT7700's
im not kidding, with the old firmware and the sony earphones maximum volume was a joke. now i dont take it more than about half way.

with the beyer DT's maximum pumps out a great volume, and i cant hear my compressor in the garage when im painting... which is a good thing

theres also a volume restricter so ive read... but i havnt looked for it yet so cant comment


glad soem peeps ahvefound this helpful

How are you all finding the new ones? My old Nomad's kicked the bucket, it still works but I can't transfer files to it (well, not without cracking it open, removing the drive and connecting it to my PC as a data drive every time...), so I'm thinking in terms of a zen vision 60gb. I liked the old one, the interface was buggy as all hell but it did what I wanted it to do (be massive, be cheap, have easily swapped batteries and good life)

im loving the viseion:m to be honest.
ive had Zens since the touch and sleek. and i really admire creative for refreshign their designs and comign up with new things... instead of making something that looks the same over and over again
