Bluetooth Headphones Too Loud

Same issue here with Bose quitecomfort 35 latest version of the firmware and app on iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.3, Spotify latest version.

In the older versions, it was possible to get a low enough sound, not anymore after the latest software updates.

I've tried adjusting the iOS volume limit, minimizing all bands of the Spotify equalizer, none of these work. It seems QC35 is way too loud, powerful for iPhones.

As mentioned before, the problem only happens with music. Audible books are ok.

Is that only with the iPhones in music app? Or does it also occur when you're streaming music with an app like Spotify or using another player? I also have the Bose QC 35, and use the latest version of iOS. Everything works fine with all audio apps, including Apple's Music app.

Same problem with the AKG Y45BT on iphone 6s. To solve it, I tried calibrating it with my android phone (the volume changes independently on the headphones and the mobile device), then connecting to the Iphone again, but it didn't work (I guess it entirely ignores the volume setting on the headphones).

Actually it did. I have 5 sets of BT headsets and I don't have this problem with any of them. If it was an iOS bug wouldn't it affect mine?

Well, I have Bose headphones with a single volume control (the one that controls the iPhone) and I can adjust all the way from silent to earsplitting.

The problem is your headphones. I've had over a dozen different BT headphones with my 10 years worth of iPhones and I'm currently rotating among 3. None of them have been too loud.

Have you update the firmware on you headphones to the latest version? v6.0.019

None available Reggie.

It has to do with the steps in Bluetooth volume within ios I guess. Over Bluetooth it is much larger than when I connect my wireless headphone with a cable to the iPhone.

So you are running the version number I posted? According to B&W site their seemed to be an update available to bring it to that version.

No problems with my Bose QC35 unit and iPhone-7.

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?

My Bluetooth headphones is JLab epic2 earbud and I get the same problem,too.

with the miniest volume setting on iphone but earphone is too loud to bear.

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...

Spotify and Apple Music app
