Hmm.  Actually, I tried this on my Android phone and my Nexus 4 
mako running utopic image 53.  The Android phone actually played 
louder through the same headphones.

I normally use some noise isolation style earbuds with a built-in 
attenuator.  This style of headphone normally requires turning 
the volume almost all the way down, since it needs only a small 
amount of current to sound very very loud...  but at the lowest 
software volume levels, the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible, so 
it sounds better to turn it up in software then use an analog 
attenuator.

On a mako, I was able to turn both soft and hard volume levels 
all the way up without making my ears hurt, which I can't really 
say for any other device I've tried these earphones on.

So...  the volume levels don't seem too high to me.
