Not loud enough

So I’m 99% sure they’re working correctly.
I just generally like to listen to music quite loud. My ears do not get affected by this at all because I’ve been doing this for years without noticing a difference in my hearing. Also had a hearing test a couple months ago and found out that my range of hearing is from about 20hz-22kHz. After after listening to music for a long time at a high volume i would say this is quite good.
For comparison I have to Gold phantoms and normally for music I’d listen somewhere between 50-60 while sitting about 8-10ft away.
To be honest I expected these to be like the phantoms: unbelievable sound which is consistent from low volumes to excessively high volumes. Don’t get me wrong these are probably one of the best or the best true wireless earphones but for me they don’t go as loud as I’d like.

If anyone has the AirPods Pro, just to compare, I rarely  listen to 100% on those probably 90%. But I’ve noticed that 100% on the Gemini is quieter than the AirPods. Is this the same for you guys who have both?

That's weird. Maybe you have a source problem, as someone mentioned above. I'm streaming tidal from my iphone and i am telling you, anything above 70% volume is just pure crime for my ears as I can't stand such a high volume. Feels like literally staying inside a plane engine. 

I have my duo pair of golds in the living room (extremely tall ceiling and overall a pretty big living room) and at 60% volume (running the sound through the mqa decoder from roon + the equalizer from bluesound) the whole structure is moving, including my windows from the balconies, including my dishes from the kitchen that is 15meters away. That's why i am saying you might have a source problem. You're listening to volumes that to me seem impossible to listen to (the low ends on golds are the most powerful things ive heard in my entire life and most definitely not healthy at all for any building structure). Just my personal opinion!

Try change the source and see if the output is the same! Hope it works out!
