I have the volume at "1" (which is sometimes too loud) and when I take it down one step it goes to "0" and I get no sound. I'm assuming this has to do with the S4's being very efficient and my iPhone putting out a good amount of power. The treble doesn't bother me though. I'd just like the option of dialing the volume down at times without it going completely silent.

Thanks for the suggestions, Professor Thump. Unfortunately, adjusting the max output of the ipod has no effect in decreasing its minimum volume. I have considered getting an in-line volume control, but was concerned it might affect sound quality. Does anyone know if adding an in-line volume control would degrade my S4's beautiful sound?

I'm noticing that even when I have my iPhone or iPod Nano on their lowest volume level, my Image S4's still seem quite loud. I've also noticed that my Custom-1's are almost as loud too. I'm assuming this has to do with the sensitivity and impedance levels of these headphones. Are there any options for dealing with this problem? Additionally, I like the Custom-1's mid-centered sound over the darker signature of the S4, but I find that the S4 design is much more comfortable and easier to get a seal with. Therefore, I'm considering buying either the X10 or X5 to replace the S4. However, I'm worried that I might have the same problem of loud volume with the X10 or X5. I noticed that the X10 and X5 have a higher impedance (50-ohm) than the S4 (18-ohm). Would this allow the X10 and X5 to be used at lower volumes than my S4? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
