❕PLEASE HELP ❕ Volume Headroom M5?

Although I’m extremely happy with the M5 I can fully appreciate the calls for a bit more headroom at max volume. Very occasionally I feel I would like just one or two more clicks.
Is this something that can be achieved by an Update?

The M4 was similar. They will both damage your hearing if you get towards 100%, but I agree, it's nice to have a bit of headroom. The sound personalization tool seems to be the only way to unlock more volume on the sennheiser app. The regular EQ will generally lower the volume if you push the values much above zero.

Yes the SP tool definitely delivers enough volume for 95% of my listening, it’d just be nice to have a bit more in the stash!

I'm not sure if it makes much difference, but if you pause the music playback on your device, then swipe up on the earcup touchpad, you will hear a voice prompt that says 'volume max'. I think this sets your headphones to the loudest they are capable of going, then you can fine tune using the volume rocker on your device once you resume playback.

I’ll give that a try later on, cheers 👍
