Started playing Zelda, good stuff.

Anyone notice the sound output from the headphone jack is ridiculously low? I've used headphones on several smartphones and ipods over the years and nothing has ever sounded so low like the Switch. I can barely hear the ambient noises and music in there.

I've resorted to using a mini amplifier I had sitting around but that's an extra battery to keep charged if I want to game in handheld mode. #firstworldproblems

I guess it's worth mentioning I'm partially deaf but I've never had an issue with any other media devices in the past with my current headphones. Tried 2 different earphones, both of which I always thought were quite good. I do have a set of Sony mdr 1a's that I guess I could try but I doubt it'll make too much of a difference.

Different headsets can output different amounts of decibels with the same amount of electricity if i'm not mistaken
