Airpods volume safe guard

Why does Apple not have a volume limiter for airpods or any real way to control them. Wired headphone have a safety setting you can setup but airpods do not. I am sick to death of getting my ears blown out due to them having notifications at max volume. I have set the volume of the ringer and notifications to change with the volume buttons but this does not help. I know lots of other users of airpods who also complain about this problem. I have owned 2 sets of airpods now and I am going to need to replace my current set soon due to broken microphones. I am not inclined at this point to buy another pair due to this issue.

Hello dragon7rage,


AirPods do have hearing safety features that you can access by going into Settings → Sounds → Headphone Safety on your Apple device. You can enable the volume limiter, and have a notification when the sound is too loud.

Hope that helps!
