Bluetooth Headphones Too Loud

I just got a pair of Sennheiser Urbanite XL Wireless headphones from Amazon and, while I really do like them, the lowest volume setting is still way too loud. I tried to fix this by enabling Sound Check and turning on the Volume Limit in Settings>Music>Playback but those only seem to work for wired headphones. I've also tried to play with the EQ but none of the presets lower the volume without also messing with the amount of bass/treble. I've run out of ideas at this point and would welcome any help. Thanks.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

If anyone is still having this issue, and uses Spotify: Navigate to Settings, click on Playback, and under 'Equalizer', lower all the settings to lower the volume. Instant gratification for most wireless earphones/headphones.

I have two MEE BT headphones and one Ultimate Ears, don't have the issue with either one. Have you contacted the manufacturer of your earbuds?

I have exactly the same issue. The same bluetooth earpiece works absolutely fine on Android. On iphone 6s the voice recordings are distorted, and the minimum volume is still too loud...

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.
