Apple recently updated a Support Article on this topic. Actually, this came with iOS 14.4.
Turn headphone notifications on or off
You can also turn on Reduce Loud Sounds to automatically lower your headphone volume when it exceeds your set decibel level.
*Due to regulations and safety standards, headphone notifications can't be turned off in certain countries or regions.
This indicates the assertion the option to turn this setting off is not correct. It does appear that in some countries and regions the setting cannot be turned off.
Did you buy your phone in a region or list your region in your phone as one which would prevent you from turning this setting off?
Read the full support article here --> Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Go to settings>health>Data access and devices>select device desired>Headphone audio levels>edit>delete all, ive found this is the only way to do it and you have to do it everytime that message pops up and it’s very annoying but it works at least
This helped me. Go to Health->Headphone Audio Levels-(Go to the bottom)-show all data-(and finally) clear all. This should provide a temporary fix, however you’ll have to do that every time the problem arises.

I rarely ever use headphones, unless I am mowing (and only once out of maybe 3 times then; AKA once in a month or less!). I use it via Bluetooth speaker(s) and get sick and tired of this stupid pop-up/warning that has zero validation. AT LEAST they could be able to tell if you were actually using headphones or a speaker/speakers! Or, even be able to set it not to trigger on certain items (eg; the speakers you're using in a backyard!!!).
Have you gone to Settings>Bluetooth and selected your device and changed the device type to the one you prefer? You can't do this for Apple headphones but you can certainly make sure your speaker is set to "speaker".
I don't have the option to turn off headphone safety notifications either. Mine states they cannot be turned off.
its not helpful saying to turn it off ....turning it off is not an option and that is the problem
What does that even mean? I’m am a user who
was trying to find a solution to a problem, and I have discovered there is no solution available, and it’s by design. Sorry if the truth offends.
Try upgrading to 14.4 and then changing your car stereo, in Bluetooth settings, to either car stereo or maybe ‘other’.
Up grade to 14.4 and set the device to ‘other’ in Bluetooth
Go to Bluetooth, select the ! on the Bluetooth speaker and change the device type.
In Bluetooth settings
Tap on the (i)
Select device type
If none available “forget” the device and pair again
Then
If you change the device type to speaker, other or car, basically anything but headphones, it will ignore the headphone safety feature.
Nope.
Correct fix --> Set up and listen to Bluetooth devices on iPhone - Apple Support
Try this:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Reduce Loud Sounds - If Allow is checked, change it to Don't Allow.
Then go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety and make the adjustment there which was missing
This issue has nothing to do with the phone I’m afraid. I have an 11 Pro Max and can’t turn it off either. Apple support informed me that it’s tied to the serial number of the phone and hence where it was purchased from.
i have had the same issue's, for some reason my bluetooth connection to my car thinks its a headphone. i have also tried everything on this group chat but still cant do it.
i have however found something (NOT SAYING THIS IS CORRECT, guessing i will find out later)
settings/screen time/content & privacy restrictions. then turn on the restrictions. under 'allow changes' there is 'reduce load sounds' change this to 'dont allow'
as i say i dont know if this will work until i am back in my car later, but anything is worth a try.
I COULD BE WRONG
