Why not give finer level of control?
Also a bit unrelated, but the lowest volume earphone output on many devices I had was just too damn loud. My current phone included, at least I can fix it with the music player’s EQ.
Edit: Probably shouldn’t have used “and/or” in this case, but just “or”. Oh well…
Edit 2: Fixed. Hopefully the new image gets loaded too.
For me there’s a significant volume difference between 7-8. 7 is too soft and 8 is too loud. The difference between those two also sounds greater than 6-7, like it’s missing a step or something and is doing two at once.
