We have been told the TTS volume difference is being addressed. My
headphone volume is plenty loud enough. What version of the firmware
do you have? It should be 1.1. The volume level was raised in the
updated version. You probably have the latest, but it might be worth
it to check it out.

Hello, all. I just got my Booksense XT yesterday, and am really
loving it so far. As soon as my nls authorization is processed, I
will be ready to rock and roll. I have already more or less fully
adapted to the diferences between the booksense and the victor,
which I was using until yesterday.
I do have one comment/question/suggestion, however. It seems that
when playing mp3 or audible books, which are all I can play at the
moment, the volume of the TTS voice seems to be significantly louder
than the volume of the book. This is true with both headphones or
the Booksense speaker. I was wondering if this is something that
might be addressed in a future firmware revision. I would think that
if the TTS voice can be so loud and clear, than the recorded books
should also be able to play at that same volume.
My only other minor criticism is the sound through headphones seems
to be much lower than it was on the victor. Since I only use
headphones when I have no other choice, this isn't a huge problem,
but it seems that the over-all volume when using headphones, even
when raised to maximum volume, is a lot lowerthan it was on the
victor, and certainly there isn't the same amount of deep bass that
the victor seemed to offer. I've played with the equalizer settings
a little, but never heard any significant difference. That is, in
fact, when I most notice my first issue: the tts voice being far
louder than the recorded material. I'm using some really good
quality Sony in-the-ear headphones: sl-71's or something like that.
I've used them with cd players and other devices, so know that
they're extremely capable when it comes to reproducing low-frequency
sound. Anyway, short of the really expensive bose earphones, they're
probably some of the better ones out there, and they sounded
absolutely brilliant with the victor. So, again, I'm just wondering
if perhaps the sound quality of the booksense when using headphones
might be able to be further tweaked somehow in a future firmware revision.
Over all, though, I absolutely love the booksense, and am very much
looking forward to using it. Thank you, GW Micro, for such a
wonderful little device.

11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places
to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back
to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
