Controversy on headset listening and volume settings

Why does the adds volume jump to max+ some while listening podcasts?


the increase instantly gets me on the back foot and reaching for the volDn button and I shall defenately try my best not to follow the advertized thing, wether it is bying hardware or getting into a designated gym.


After a couple of hours having the vol up for the Podcasts to be loud enough and all of a sudden you get your drums exploded, when an add interrupts the easy listening.


For me a headset setting on volume should play the same level as the initial source, cause it is obviously the reason to listen in the first place.


Anybody have a work-around to have the feed and adds playing out the same level?
