Apparently I can turn off headphone notification on my iPhone X(update 14.2) but I can’t turn it off on my iPhone 12 max pro (14.2)???? Like why??? Can you please tell me how to turn it off?? No matter how much I lower the volume I still get the notification!!!
”Volume should be turned down” please don’t tell us what can or cannot do with our phone!

That is very naive. There are a huge number of laws about how you treat your body; I won’t go into them, but I’m sure you know what I am talking about, starting with the fact that thousands of medications require a prescription. And even this Apple “feature” is dictated by a laws; some countries (and states) now require all audio devices to limit volume, so Apple is just obeying the law. As other audio devices either do already, or will do in the near future. Apple’s implementation of it is flawed, which they will likely correct, but their products could be cited or banned in places that have strict regulations.
Tell them what you think here

Feedback to Apple
My non-Apple earbuds allow a change to “speaker”
I assume that any Apple branded earphone devices that allow “Headphone accommodations” cannot be spoofed as speakers for legal reasons.
Totally agree.
if Apple do not change this I’m out.
I cannot believe the whole of Europe is having this problem because of the U.K. government.
the U.K. government are an utter disgrace, rather like Berlusconi was to be honest.
Just as an aside, Steve Jobs was practically deaf towards the end of his life and had been gradually losing hearing for quite some time. It’s partly why Apple didn’t push for higher frequency compression standards. I sometimes think the lack of care Apple gives to sound quality, coupled with the lack of progress to increase device capacity to store more data on the phone, stems from this.
Yes its already set to that mate, do you think its because of the loud machinery i use, mowers, hedgecutters, chainsaws all day, thats why i have Bluetooth ear defenders from stihl to drown out machinery noise and listen to music, well try to listen to music!
This one is driving me nuts. Have my iPhone paired with a Sony amplifier to play my music and it keeps reducing the Bluetooth sound output as though it’s paired with headphones. Need the sound output to remain high.
Not sure if doing the volume limit via reduce loud sounds works as it takes a bit of running time until the headphone safety kicks in but when I tried your suggestion it instantly took my sound output via bluetooth down to around 55% so not suitable.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Way ahead of you there. Have submitted many bug reports over the years; this one included. Hopefully this one will get corrected sooner rather than later as its already become an intolerable nuisance.
It’s not just bluetooth (it’s via the headphone jack too) and, more importantly, this isn’t to do with regulations. There is no “global headphone regulation” that’s been introduced. And the moment there are global laws I doubt very much that headphone volume will be the first priority. This is a problem in many countries, probably all where ios 14.2 has been released. It is not a problem on Android or anything else. It is not a problem with other sound producing or headphone using devices such as: TV’s, hifis, radios, playstations, MP3 players or even other mobile phones or tablets. It is *only* a problem with Apple. It is their mistake and trying to blame anyone other than Apple is just ridiculous. They should have the humility to accept that this is a bad idea, that’s been executed even worse, and they should just scrap forced volume reduction.

No, this is a case of Apple complying with existing laws and laws to come.
We shouldn’t get a limit of 40 hours a week music, we should get unlimited music. I’ve bought a phone. AND some of us have paid for Apple Music. I should be allowed to listen to that AS MUCH AS I WANT, not limited to any number of hours a week. Especially when the only reason I’m being limited is because I’m using external speakers, and Apple can’t tell the difference between speakers and headphones and therefore assumes the worst. I’m keeping my volume up to 100% on my phone, and about 30% on my hifi, and I’m never buying an Apple ever again.
