Headphone Safety

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!

The product from Apple did not have this limitation when I bought it. So Apple has changed the function without me approving it. Will Apple buy it back for full price since they made this change that is useless to me?

A 3 year old iPhone retains $100 value from the $900 price tag when new much de same as any other electronic equipment today, worthless on the market after 5 years!


I'm glad Apple does not make water boilers since I like my cup of tea at 100 degrees centigrade, that would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit for you on the other side of the pond. If it was Apples decision we would have to make tea at around 37 degrees centigrade or 100 degrees Fahrenheit so they would not be sued if we scalded ourself.

New Phone on the way and I am sure its not a "fruity thing"

I’m having the same issue. As a truck driver if I’m using hands free to speak to my escort who is taking me around blind bends this can be so dangerous as I either can’t hear what I’m being told or have to take my eyes off the road to turn my volume back up. Just spoke to Apple support and been told it’s something the UK government told them they have to do under new regulations. Wish you could downgrade your IOS version. So far my 12 pro max has been pretty un usable

Thank you Thinderlnkie for your response. I mean I live in the US and I still have this issue. I contacted the Apple support and they suggested that I restore my iPhone to the factory settings. However, instead doing what Apple support suggested, I went to general> Reset (all the way down) > reset all settings. This helped me to reset the 7 days volume count and now I put my volume three ticks below the full volume and since then it did not count any days. For anyone whose going to try the “reset all settings” please read about it first, this will not delete any of your data, but it will erase you background pic and other settings you’ve made.

Yes im having exactly the same thing, im a gardener and have stihl ear defenders with Bluetooth and listen to music all day to drown out machinery noise and it’s constantly turning down to half,

it’s absolutely disgusting that this cant be turned off in uk!!! First stay in your homes all year, now the government doesn’t want us to listen to music loud They are my ears ffs

I have the same issue and I contacted Apple but they told me that on my iphone 12 there is no solution for this even that my last iphone xs has button to switch off this feature. So shame that somebody controls how loud will I listen to my music on my BT hf.

I am so disappointed in Apple for putting this, now in my car every 15min music turns down to 50%. Please Apple fix this!!!!

We have the same problem in Italy.

With the introduction of iOS 14.2, in some countries, such as Italy, it is not possible to disable the notification of the volume that is too high and the consequent automatic reduction of the volume. This would be smart if iPhone were able to talk to the peripheral it is connected to. But that's not the case! Many audiophiles like to listen to BT music in good quality and use BT receivers like Earstudio ES100 or Fiio BTR5. Great receivers with double DACs. The instruction manual of these devices recommends keeping the source volume at maximum (for the cleanest signal) and adjusting the volume on the receiver. Unfortunately iPhone thinks we are destroying ears with 105Db while in reality we are listening at 65 / 70Db. I find this moralistic abuse of Apple too invasive and determined to use only products sold by Apple (eg Airpod pro) that are inferior to third-party products. So with the 14.2 iPhone it got dumber

Apple is doing bad things with music. He imposes his (bad) earphones. It places obvious limitations on the use of third parties. If you want to put an external DAC it has to be MFI or you have to put three different cables for one result. Then if you want to use BT you find that iPHone only transmits with AAC 16 bit 44.1 Khz CODEC (so it can't even do justice to Apple Music which is 24 bit). A 100 dollar android phone broadcasts in LDAC with a bitrate of 990. Apple thinks about marketing and the camera. Steve Jobs was very fond of music and considered it a fundamental part of his project. Now I don't know if he would be happy
