FAO: Anyone with a PSP.....headphone noise levels!!!!
...i know they don't go up very loud at all (sony's fault 
) but i have seen a number of links on how to make them louder...
by re-soldering one wire in the ear piece from point A to point B and removing the resistor basically.........BUT........i don't want to do this and possibly ruin some good headphones......
can i just buy some new headphones that will go up louder???? instead of a DIY fix?????
anyone bought new headphones for theirs???? will this solve the problem?

I have a set of PSP headphones and a set of regular headphones. Both operate at the same levels.
Also have a set of Philips that are exactly the same.
Sounds like yours are buggered, a batch of PSP headphones were buggered or you havent turned the volume up on the PSP.
Try it without the remote thingy on the PSP. I dont use that and get very good volume. Enough to block the missus out when she is whining

here is an extract on the problem from a PSP forum....
Right, as soon as i got my psp i put a few mp3's on it and after they were done i plugged in the sexy white headphones and to my suprise *drum roll* ...the headphones were a bit s**t. Heres a tutorial on how to make them un-s**t, get a pair of plyers or something to hold the grey bit of the head phone steady, then turn it untill it pops off, the inside should look like this ... http://www.imagesharing.com/files/ps...dphonetoum.JPG
De-solder the copper wire (Point A)and resolder it to point B, then jsut to make sure pop the resistor with a pair of plyers or something (the first time i tried it on the left headphone it didnt make any difference untill i popped the resistor) and put them back together agian to have about twice as much sound output (if not more)
this post went onto 3 pages!!!

the european psp's were shipped with headphones that were quiter than the rest of the world headphones.
You can do a simple soldering job to bypass the filter. I just plugged my ipod headphones in and they are noticeably louder !
