Root [Sprint] disregard: Beats - volume substantially less than non-Beats level

(Not sure if I needed to post this in Sprint sub as don't think it's a particularly Sprint issue but trying here 1st.)

Recently got refurbished Sprint One M7; absolutely love it, btw.

One thing I immediately noticed, however: I'd seen many threads on various forums saying "Beats is awesome, really gives your volume a boost", etc.

Well, my experience is the exact opposite. With Beats turned ON, I have to run the volume at 80-90% to get a nice amount of sound but when I turn it OFF, that amount is ear-splitting and 50-60% is plenty to produce a loud volume.

Anyone else experience this?

It's not a big deal; I use Equalizer app anyway since Beats doesn't seem to have any customization other than ON/OFF.

Sorry, should have Googled this 1st, seems like this is normal state of affairs.

Yes Beats is not an Audio Boost / it's an Audio enhancement, you notice it much more with headphones / earbuds
