Bluetooth Headphones Too Loud

I have the same issue with a pair of PHI Sport and Outdoors headphones. I listen using Amazon music on an iPhone 6 - if anyone has any tips regarding Amazon music or in general that would be great. I find that if I turn the music up and down again it seems quieter (similar to how if you turn the volume down and up again it seems louder)

I have this issue with two pairs of cheap BT headphones (one TaoTronics and one Senbowe) and my iPhone 6s (iOS 11.0.3). I do not have this problem with my Bose Soundlink headphones. Both of the cheaper headphones work fine when connected to my Windows 10 PC but are too loud at the lowest volume to be comfortable at work.

Same problem with Senso ActivBuds S250. I will turn them on and wait for connect. Then immediately adjust them lower and sometimes immediately they jump back to being extremely loud. Other times the lowering will take and hold and the music volume is always ok. Its the other volumes that are the issue. As Patty said the tick tick and swoosh from texting and other apps are sooooo loud! . Also, when I adjust it, it shows "Volume". SOMETIMES (and I really cant say when as it seems random) it will show "Bluetooth" as I'm lowering it. Drives me crazy to say the least. I definitely hurt my ears already with this issue, being an unsuspecting fool and forgetting to lower the volume. Took me days to feel better and now I flinch all the time thinking its gonna happen. I'm ready to give them up, although they work fine on my windows laptop and on Androids. They even work well when I am watching something on my laptop and I get a call the laptop pauses and the iPhone takes over and I answer the call and it's a great experience. I then hang up the call and the laptop un-pauses. Very nice hand-off. Normally I don't use them like this though because I will get the "Blip...Blip...noise and interruption when they are both connected, but occasionally its all good. Go figure. iPhone 7 Plus is the bad guy for me and I haven't tried my iPad yet. My Apple supplied wired earplugs work fine.

With the exact same argumentation I can say "I have 5 android phones and 2 televisions. On all of them my headphones has full volume control ranges. If your iPhone doesn't it is a flaw in the iPhone." Notice the fallacy?

The correct argument would have been: "Apple won't fix it and neither will the headphones provider". Then you would most certainly have been right. It is one of the many incompatibility issues Apple has with 3th party products.

Thank you for pointing me to this app. The free version seems to be adequate for my needs. I used the equalizer to reduce levels to about 20 on all 7 bands. This made my Griffin iTrip Clip deliver a whisper of sound at the iPhone's lowest setting (i.e., just above mute), which is just right for when I'm sleeping. There's still even a bit more reduction possible. The iTrip Clip has all the issues mentioned regarding delivering too high a level of sound and adjusting volume in lockstep with the iPhone rather than independently. Also the app imported my playlists and tracks from the iOS Music app.

This app sounds like a great solution for listening to music....but most of my headphones listening is podcasts and audiobooks. Anyone know if it works with anything besides iTunes music?

I didn't see anything on the App store page suggesting it would, but just in case...

The problem with this forum is that some members who have no idea of what is happening or a solution to a problem, are quick to blame other manufacturers hardware without properly addressing the flaws in iOS. It’s true this Bluetooth problem is prevalent with iOS but I am actually surprised how your response survived censorship here.

It would be good practice to be honest with software issues so that Apple can address the issue rather than some users here trying to brush the issue as if it does not exist. Still exist in 2018, hoping to get a solution too.

I have 4 Bluetooth headsets from different manufacturers and a Bluetooth speaker. The volume controls on all 5 devices work perfectly, allowing adjustments from off to full volume. Does that sound like a problem with the phone or with a few devices?

And if you actually read what I posted I said that I had continuous control of volume over the range. That implies when I set it to a low position it was not too loud. Perhaps I should have been more explicit, but I assumed at least an average range of intelligence among readers who would understand what I posted.

And I didn't say that 100 were bad. Stop putting words into my mouth. Most likely 90 are good; it's only users who have a problem with their headset bother to post that fact. Out of over one billion users if this was a common problem you would see a lot more posts about it. Based on this thread it looks like around 25 different people have reported it (there are 65 posts, but many are repeat posts by the same individual). Out of 1 billion. I'll give that not all of them use Bluetooth, but if even 10% do that's still 100 million.

Reading and comprehending is very important. There is no need to spray users and assume that they are not intelligent.

For the record you did not say 100. I said there are more than 100 thousand manufactures those are my words not yours. I did not put a single word in your mouth not even a letter.

If you want to help users you got to read and understand their problems.

You are correct, I missed the "thousand" because it made no sense. As that is a total fabrication (there are probably closer to 100 manufacturers) I see there is no point in discussing anything further with you.

You conveniently skipped the whole point of my post, which is that this does not appear to affect a lot of devices. There are other posts in the thread reporting that other specific devices do not have this problem. And none of those that have been mentioned are the 5 devices of mine that don't have a problem.

Im having the same issue with the same headphones. . Did you find a fix to this problem?

Same problem.I wish Apple can fix this shxt on ios 11 version.

And I'm leaving more feedback for apple. This is another reason why I am probably done with Apple when present Macs & phone reach end-of-life & can't get security updates.

I don't have this problem with any of the Bluetooth headphones I use and I have several.
