Iphone 6s plus volume in music is LOW! Even with headphones.

My only personal workaround at the moment is to use my iPod classic when I want to listen to music with headphones, and not have to worry about the nonsense of setting the volume control into the 90-100% range to get a 'normal' volume on the iPhone.

I am avoiding using my iPhone 6S Plus for music with headphones for the time being until Apple restores the feature back to normal in a future patch of IOS 9.

I Got the iphone to have phone and music in one device with good apple quality.

i Don't want to spend 1100 euro and have two devices in my pocket! I am really frustrated

I Have an appointment with the 'genius' at the apple store next monday let's see what they say.

I was having the same issue, especially with music on my headphones playing very quietly and ran across an article saying that Facebook's "in-app sound" was causing the issue. I went into my sound settings on the Facebook app and turned the In-App Sound setting to OFF and my music volume went back to normal again. The setting is located in Settings > Account Settings > Sounds on the app.

This makes sense for me because I had only installed Facebook yesterday and today was the first day I noticed the levels being so low.

Thanks for the tip.

I tried the tip and switched off 'in-app sounds' in the settings section within the Facebook app, but in my case, it made no difference to the music volume with headphones and remains low.

I was experiencing this same issue with my new iPhone 6s+ - just not enough volume when listening to music from my collection, or to videos, for that matter. I was researching the issue tonight, and found a suggestion in an older thread about the iPhone 4s, posted about three years ago..

That post suggested going to music settings, scrolling down to playback and then then switching off "Sound Check." I'd tried that before with no success, but this time, I switchd off "Sound Check" and then I performed a power-down reboot.

Now my audio is acceptable.

Sound check is always set on OFF on my device.

I Don't have any facebook app

my volume is still low low low...

It not and issue its just what the new iphone 6s is and im f'ing ******! An expensive phone that doesn't get loud enough, its complete garbage! I use the phone almost exclusively for music at the gym and im constantly pushing the volume button only to find its all the way up!!!! SOOOOO, I spent 2 hours at the apple store in Santa Monica California yesterday about this issue! Every employee seems to be oblivious to this and the phone passed the tests they ran! VERY, VERY ANNOYING!!!!!

If it annoys you so much, the solution is obvious - return your phone for a refund.

Did you return your phone?

We can hope in a sw update will fix it??

This fixed the problem of my wife's iPhone...

We have both a 6s+... mine is really loud, hers isn't (or wasn't ;-)

I turn on and off the soundcheck... rebooted the phone and the problem was fixed

Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much! This solved my problem!

had the same problem unusable with headphones

used the volume control from the locked screen and suddenly all the volume back

so some problem between the volume buttons on the phone and the headphones as they were on full but when I slid the music controls up from the bottom of the screen it was set on low slid it up and full volume

hope this works for everyone as I was not happy with a 2 wk old 6s and no music

I have got the same issue and no one of mentioned solutions worked for me .... This is so disappointing because I bought 128GB version only for listening to music 😠

I hope its not related to a A9 chip again because unfortunately my chip is SAMSUNG ...

Please share your solutions if you got one. Thanks

Update:

Ok the facebook thing worked for me ...

I reinstalled it and I noticed that the problem exists ... Then I disabled the in app sounds then suddenly it worked....

I Hope it helps.

I went to the appointment with the "genius" (he was not so genius), anyway, I've tested another Iphone 6s (not plus like mine) but the volume level it was the same. So...I keep my 6s plus.

I' ve tested also with my friend iphone 6 plus,..but it is the same.

I've noticed with some files...or better with audio files that have low volume (try if you can with the Pink Floyd albums from iTunes)Or some radios.

If you try to hear Beat1 the volume is acceptable, if you try to listen other radios ..the volume is low...

At the end.. my iPad mini 2 has a great music volume..the iphone 6s plus not. There is not solution..I suppose.
