When I am on a call, what I am hearing from my AirPods is too loud even at the lowest setting. It is not possible for me to go any lower. I have tried unpairing/ pairing. It has not fixed the issue. I don’t see a setting anywhere to turn it down.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
I've had this issue with my AirPods on and off ever since I bought them a couple years ago, through 3 phones and at least a couple iOS upgrades. The ONLY thing I've found that helps is to go to "Settings -> Sound&Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> Reduce Loud Sounds -> Lower to 75 decibels."
This keeps the AirPods from destroying your eardrums when someone calls/texts (even with the ringer set to low) and lowers the volume on calls to a more reasonable, albeit still loud level (again, even when the volume is set to the lowest level possible).
Downside here is that when I use my bluetooth speaker to play music in the house, I have to manually disable this feature, as it affects that bluetooth device as well.
Really wish Apple would do something about this! :(
No. I don’t know how that got marked as solved. None of the posted “solutions” have worked for anyone as far as I’m aware - they are attempted workarounds unrelated to the problem.
Same hear with airpods pro.
I have been reaching out to some execs from apple and they took notice, now let’s wait and see.. moved on to other headphones in the meanwhile and they don’t have this issue somehow ... strange :-)
Apple is hopeless on this. The volume at its minimum setting is blasting my ears out. Updated to the latest IOS and the issue persists. Share this with Apple and they remain oblivious.
Let’s hope you have more sway than the rest of us!
Joining the queue of folks here that are frustrated by the loud volume that can’t be turned down. I’m debating bringing these back to Best Buy.
Also joining the queue... no option to turn down voice related volume... very irritating

One more in the chorus. I have crappy ears and the AirPods are still way too loud. Unbelievable that Apple is taking so long to fix this.
Apple give us back our Full Control over the volume asap!
Bought 600 euro expensive earpods max, almost not using 'm anymore due this issue 😖
To answer your question, airpods pro are too loud on the lowest setting when I'm on a phone call.
THey are not too loud when listening to music. The native music app goes to zero.
So the phone app does not give enough control.
Same as everyone has stated....my Airpods are blowing my ears out. I cannot use them for calls, even at the lowest setting. I am taking one out and using the other half inserted and still very loud. My volume control is turned all the way down. I tried all of the solutions listed, none of them work. Please fix this!
