i thought they did this a few years ago?
I seem to remember there were some players that went to higher volumes if you told them you were in the US, or flashed them with a US firmware as opposed to the European one.
Do you know what else hurts my ear drums?.. Wind bag politicians talking about something they know nothing about, then trying to coddle us from their point of ignorance.
If idiots want to listen to noise till their ear drums pop, that's their problem, whacking on a heap of useless and unneccery legislation wont stop them from doing it.

Woohoo now Assistant Manager!
they did this with the PSP didn't they?
the headphones were really quiet with any device
pretty much ruined them imo.
My old Sony NW-HD5 MP3 player was volume limited, thing was the way a few of my MP3's had been converted onto it, volume got lost in the process so as such using the nanny state volume limiter half of my library was really quiet.
It was only through googling it, that I found a sequence of buttons that opened up and engineers type sub menu which the volume limiter could be lifted.
If they are so concerned about this, by all means fit a system where volume can be limited, BUT do it so the user can turn off the restrictor themselves.
