Kross earphone jack

The phone output on my new Kross 61 is really low. With other Korgs I've owned (microstation and microkorg) the headphone output is such that about half volume produces a very acceptable signal. On the kross, full volume is barely adequate
What's anyone else's experience?
Thanks

Bad news indeed, the poor headphone output. I have a good small battery-operated "headphone amplifier" from an on-line company, Headroom.
Sometimes a different set of headphones might improve it a little?
The same day mine arrives I will reply to your thread. It's not a "deal-breaker" for me but nevertheless it's unfortunate.

David,
Thanks!
I was afraid I was getting deaf!
Hopefully yours will arrive soon!

Is the volume low when running on batteries or A/C power or both?

Low headphone output would be common if tested while run only by battery power?

Hey I experimented with some different earphones and it's very acceptable. I must have had a bad set.
The next pair I tried (fairly inexpensive ones) worked just fine!
