Portable DVD player volume issues?

So I bought my mom a portable DVD player for Christmas but she does not like how soft the volume level is even when its fully turned all the way up........

My question is whats the best case scenario to fix this pesky problem.

Should I return the DVD player, buy a more expensive model and expect better sound quality becasue of price difference.

Or...do I get a pre-amp/ higher end set of headphones and expect that to pull more volume out of this little DVD player.

Are there any additional methods for sound amplification increase that I am not aware of?

Thanks ahead of time

and merry belated Christmas to all

    Hi Gary.

    I had the same issue with mine - and purchasing a more expensive one doesn't necessarily guarantee that the amp inside of the DVD player is going to give you a significant volume boost. In fact, most of those units don't seem to have a very strong volume at all.

    If you're using it for a plane or a noisy environment, I'd suggest that you purchase a really good battery-powered headset. They do run a little expensive (some can be more expensive than your DVD player itself!) but it will be invaluable for other applications as well (mp3, walkman, etc). I wouldn't spend less than $50.00 for the headset.

    But even a $100 price difference in many portable DVD players aren't going to give you the output that will justify the price, so upgrade the headphones.

    Good luck!
