This response adds no value to the discussion. This topic s brought up across the internet/across the world. There is no way to reduce the volume below the minimum in iOS, which is a HUGE flaw. That is why no one in any sort of even slightly meaningful position will give a straight answer on this topic. I don't care about headphones/BT peculiarities, Everyone asking this question ( thousands of people if not a factor of 10 more) wants to know how they can change the volume in settings since a large number of heasdsets do not have volume control and the stock minimum volume is way too loud, crazy loud. Obviously I do not know what occurred in Apple to cause this but this problem is actually quite a massive flaw, and all of the proof points to Apple relying on circuitous conversation control to convince everyone who asks the problem becomes redirected and somehow convinced that the problem is actually the headphones or some equally implausible explanation. After looking for quite some time, not a single Apple customer service associate has supplied an actual fix for this ridiculous feature. Do you understand why your response doesn't help anyone?
