I haven't thoroughly tested it but I find my HFL unit's volume to have to be setup pretty high to remotely hear the person clearly.

Yesterday I was doing 120km/h on the freeway and had to have the hfl unit up at the max level to hear (40 is the max)

At low speeds around 25-30 is where its at. The hfl beep sounds seem to be loud as hell but the voice of the other person very low.

I have 2 phones that I use primarily on the hfl unit, my htc vogue which is a wm6 phone and I have applied some a2dp bluetooth hacks to it and a regular samsung phone.

What do you guys have your hfl unit volume at?

 

I'm around the same numbers as you are. I have to remember to turn it down for the lower speeds or when sitting still.

 

Its just a road noise issue, thats why we have up and down volume, no?

 

Actually, I think it may depend on the phone: I had a MOtorola E815 that worked beautifully - reception was loud and clear, even at low HFL volume settings. Now my HTC WM6 unit has to be turned up very high, like yours. Of course, that's better than the Palm Treo I tried, which wouldn't link or dropped almost every call....

 

also i find with some phones volume on the phone matters, if ur phone earpiece volume is low, sound out he HFL is low, and vis versa. Ck that out too.
