"Speak Text" (Shortcut) & "JBL Tune500BT headphones" too loud. / iOS 15 / iPhone 12 Mini

Just got my iPhone 12 Mini the other day and decided to try Shortcuts.

[I haven't used iPhone since the 5S & iOS 10, so it's been a while.]

I noticed that the volume is way too loud from the speakers and I can't seem to lower it. 🤔

[Please note: I don't mean Siri, I mean the red button.]

I've also noticed a similar issue with my JBL Tune500BT headphones. Way too loud. 😟

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Volume increasing when plugging in headphones I have an iphone SE (gen2) and i use headphones with a 3,5mm to lightning adapter. If i unplug the lightning adapter on the phone and plug back in the volume increases about 70% of the time. The headphones has one button for play/pause. If i toggle play/pause the same thing happens. The volume increases most of the time. I have rebooted the phone several times. This started when I updated to iOS 14.3. I have tried a new 3,5mm to lightning adapter as well as new headphones of the same sort. This is really annoying since my ears have gotten blasted with too loud volume when i drive my car and use the button and other situations. Am I alone on this? I haven't found any good hits when searching for it. Is it an iOS bug? Can I do anything but wait for an update? Can i notify developers about this problem noone seems to write about?

skullcandy bluetooth headphones too loud I cannot get my headphones to adjust at a low volume. I am on level 2 listening to amazon or i hear radio is way too loud, however if i adjust down to 1 bar the volume is muted. Is there anyway to adjust this? the volume on my headset seems to be a direct reflection of the iphone volume.

Low impedance headphones are too loud, even on minimum volume. I recently purchased a set of low impedance headphones (around about 20Ω). These work great with my iPhone XS, but on my iPad Air 3 it is far too loud, even on minimum volume. I can only assume this is due to the iPad having a more powerful amp built-in, but even after activating and maxing out ‘reduce loud noises’ in Settings>Sounds, the lowest available setting is just barely tolerable, but anything lower causes the music/media to abruptly cut out. Is there any other way to reduce the volume range of my iPad with these headphones, or should I start looking for some higher impedance headphones? If so, is there a suggested Ω range I should specifically keep an eye out for?
