Sound Haptics has ruined music!! Why?!

This stupid new update with sound haptics now controls how loud we can listen to our music using our headphones. I like to listen to loud music, I don't need apple to remind me of what loud music does to our ears. Theres an abundance if health problems everywhere in life.

So how do I disable this notification coming up and automatically turning down my music?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > Turn off headphone notifications and you won't be told you may be damaging your ears anymore.

😂 typical, only specific models affected. You would think they would assign the same options to all models.

statement altered - apple have ruined music for us 2nd gen SE users. Might switch to samsung, its so annoying as it notifies you every 5/10 mins.

People say you can turn it off, but not if you have the newest OS.


I don’t listen to loud music, but this has ruined my phone. I play my phone through speakers using the headphone jack. The phone has to be at max to mix properly on my stereo. Now I’m cooking, my hands are dirty, and suddenly my stereo goes silent until I wash my hands, dry them, and crank the volume. 20 minutes later, same thing. Horrible!!!! By far the most horrible thing Mac has ever done.
