Hey guys !! First of all gud to c so many guys writng in .okay the excuse which the apple executives are giving about the eu countries limit is totally false coz my iphone 4s uk sounds amazing n if i m nt wrong uk comes under eu countries list .I m from delhi I had a talk with them again regarding this and all they had to say was the volume limit restrictions and advised me to wait for te next ios update which can fix it i took tat info with a grain of salt coz i dnt thnk so it will b of ne help coz how can all devices running on same firmware sound diffrent .i have even tried downgrading the firware to 5.0 but tat also dint help.I wud advise U guys nt to try tat coz unless u knw how to jailbreak n unlock n all tat jazz.And one more thng tat the default iphone eq wud make the volume even lower so tats nt gonna help .one thng u can do is convert ur songs to 128 bit rate ,this u can do thru itunes on the summary tab of ur phone tat will definately improve the volume.n if u planning to buy new headfones or inears try sennheiser i thnk they r really good and affordable

Its unlikely tat u will get a refund coz i have had a history with istore and at max they will give u a credit note entitling u to buy an apple product only from their store within 6 months so nt exactly a refund but u can try.u can further push ur luck by gettng a replacement in form of new retail box which is very much possible and c if tat sounds ne bettr if still it doesnt work atleast u will again njoy unboxing ur iphone lol .

Its nt tat difficult to get this issue resolved coz apple ppl consider it as a rare case so they nt taking it seriously.v all can try n get it escalated.i have done tat in past wen my iphone 4s uk dint work with indian sim operators and there wer many more like me and trust me guys within 2 days my fone was working on every carrier, so sum positives to b taken from tat too.lets just hope v crack this one too. Call them on regular basis try talkn to the 2tier support or the technical dept and i hope it will b solved .

@ gizmocrazy

u sure u gettn a replacement or a refurbished one coz incase of a replacement its on the spot whereas wen u get a refurbished one they take around 3-5 days n if tats the case then u shld nt accept it coz y will u settle with a refurbished one wen u paid for a new one.gimmie ur email id ill mail u the apple id.

u bet i will be getting one which is the all the more frustrating i spoke to a senior guy at apple asia support yesterday his name is deepak and he told me he will resolve this issue asap i told him bluntly that i still cant figure out why i paid such a steep price for iphone and i told him i totally regret my decision.he also told me the iphones marketed in india r restricted to that low sound issue from headphones to which i replied that there was lady who had bought the 4s from the same store and the enginner himself told me that that my handset def has a harware issue.i had bought this handset on the 15th of jan 2012 can u imageine huhhhhhh!!.anwayz my email id is gizmocrazy@gmail.com thnx

my handset got replaced the sound issue has been resolved so far so good for me .
