gedster314, I appreciate the reply. Just to be clear, I'm not using a headset but the cd players in my boat and vehicles. The only headset I own is a Jabra BT 8040 that I use to take calls and play the audio from my Slingbox or Sprint TV. It's a2dp. The volume to the Jabra is weak as well but plenty for watching tv or taking calls. Where the volume levels are a problem is when I want to "crank the tunes".
topdawgn8, The Sony has no controls at all, simply an on/off switch. Maybe you can post your receiver's model # when you get a chance. I think I paid $60 for the Sony but I can still return it.
