Hi Tommy,

Your English is fine. Welcome to the group; nice to have you here. 
The headphone volume level has been a source of minor discontent 
since the first DTXpress. But it is not serious. You can certainly 
make adjustments in the module to maximize the volume. Many people 
are happy with the headphone volume; other people use a mixer with a 
headphone jack or a dedicated headphone amp to eliminate stick noise 
when they practice. If you decide to do so, you need not spend much 
money. But, most important, don't worry. Check back when you get the 
kit. We'll be here to help if you need anything.

I got tired of the pad noise and was afraid that I might damage my
hearing by cranking up the volume. So I bought a pair of Shure E2
isolating in-ear phones. They work like a charm. I can keep the volume
knob at about 1/3 of the maximum and the pad noise is almost
non-existant.
