In some countries and regions you can’t turn them off. Looks like you live in one of those areas.

You can turn it off, it's just not obvious.

Accessibility > audio/visual > headphone notification

Took me so f-cking long to find this answer after searching online because it's not where you'd expect it to be

Thank you! Been trying to figure this out for awhile! Obviously the Bluetooth volume is going to be all the way up when in the car. But the stereo can have it down low to the point it’s super quiet, and I’ll still get this notification. I never listen to my headphones that high anyways, and never get this notification. But in the car it’s constant, and super annoying.

In the Bluetooth device settings for your car, you can set the device type to "Car stereo" and it will never throw you a notification even if they're globally available. That was one of the first updates they released when the headphone notifications were first introduced and the backlash from countless users with this exact issue arose.

Oh! I had no idea! Thank you. I will look at that. I turned it off anyways in the settings above. So doesn’t hurt to turn that on. lol.

I find that Apple puts some of the settings in weird places.

A lot of them (like promotion or the headphone messages) are found accessibility when they should be in display settings or the airpod settings

Op has the full ability to shut this off. I only care because I saw so many people saying what you’re saying, to later find out it’s on a different screen.

If you think warning notifications are annoying wait until you get the endless ringing in your ear

A couple of weeks ago I would’ve posted the same as what OP did…always wanted to rid the notification, always having volume at full when working out, commuting etc.

Now I have tinnitus and am severely uncomfortable the vast majority of the time. Safe to say I should have listened to the apple sound warnings

CharlesJHV t1_jef8yys wrote

Sorry you have to go through that. Tinnitus can hang around for a while but after some time it does get better and even goes away. I wish you get through it soon

I_aM_a-thiCC t1_jegnpz5 wrote

Yeah but I personally find the headphone warnings super annoying… if I have the volume on about a third of the slider with my Galaxy Buds2 Pro, the sound thingy in the control center shows it in the yellow and sometimes red and yet, I can barely hear the music.

I throw my nasty AirPod Gen 2s in there and they’re so caked with ear wax it is basically the same deal. They made sense back when I got the phone a year and some change ago, but with these issues there is no telling if I actually am putting my ears at risk or not.

Why would you want to turn that off? Take care of yourself

AyoBruh t1_jeexh5m wrote

For me it’s Bluetooth / Aux jacks in cars, where I have the volume all the way up to combat the signal to noise ratio, that I always trigger this warning

Edit: I just learned in this thread you can specify device type for Bluetooth

Rompeth t1_jeeyr5m wrote

I always had this happen with my car. I always thought it was headphone safety but I turned off the sound check option in music settings and it’s not as quiet anymore

404Mate t1_jef95nu wrote

you can also specify lightning adaptors to aux

kittysneeze88 t1_jef2to7 wrote

I’m also pretty certain the loudness measurements are inaccurate if you’re not using Apple headphones or the Apple dongle. How would it be able to know the sensitivity of every headphone’s driver via analog input? Even if it could detect the headphone’s impedance, the sensitivity rating is more prudent to determining overall volume level, and that rating is variable depending on the headphone model, and can even vary depending on the content you’re listing to.

Also, if you’re connecting your headphones wirelessly, you can often adjust the volume on both the phone, and the external receiver, separately. In this case, the phone volume should be set to max and you can adjust the overall volume from the Bluetooth device itself. In these common cases, the phone can’t accurately judge your headphone’s true volume level because it’s not controlling the level at all.

Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. It doesn’t resolve the problem as I’m not using Bluetooth headphones and get the notification when my phone is plugged into the aux via lighting adapter.

Aha okay, I dont think there is a solution for aux

craigiest t1_jeexe0p wrote

You really shouldn’t want to have your headphones at ear damaging levels. Tinnitus and hearing loss are not worth it.

idiopathic_tog OP t1_jeeyk19 wrote

I really appreciate your concern, you really shouldn’t assume I’m using headphones. As I’ve already stated in previous comment; this happens when I plug my phone in to the aux cord via lightning adapter for the car speakers that are frustratingly quiet.

ReturnOfTheJackk t1_jeepr0e wrote

I get these constantly - I still have a traditional AUX cord in my car, which warrants the the phone volume is turned all the way way up to get anything reminiscent of sound out of the speakers. I think iphone thinks I’m blaring sound into my ears at max volume at all times

itsabearcannon t1_jeev4lq wrote

I think your sound system is broken, because I can definitely get eardrum-rupturing audio out of my Prius speakers with my phone at 50% and the stereo cranked to 50+ volume level. Same with my old Escape, as well.

Sounds system is very much broken my friend, no doubt haha…2008 escape

Not_Nova_ t1_jefgskp wrote

In OP’s defense, many music-playing apps provide audio equalizers. With that said, sometime you need to turn the volume up quite high depending on if you’re recording/listening.

I really didn’t anticipate to stir up quite the debacle, I appreciate the defense.

Not_Nova_ t1_jefhk3p wrote

That’s good ole’ Reddit for you at-times unfortunately! I use Spotify, and am always fiddling with the audio-quality depending on what music I’m listening too. So, I completely understand why this would be an issue

paulstelian97 t1_jeekf1j wrote

I think the mandatory stuff is the automatic limitation (automatically lower the volume if it's up for too long). Though I've only seen Android do this.

DarthMauly t1_jeem4o5 wrote

It is indeed yes. Someone else has posted a workaround to toggling the actual notifications, but don't believe that will stop the sound reduction itself

I found that simply by swiping down, typing in "headphone notifications" and pressing on the settings that corresponded with that.

That toggle isn’t present in the current menu, I even swiped down and tried the search feature but yielded the same result.

Press on lighting adapters and forget all adapters, then plug in your adapter again and it should appear and ask if it’s headphones or other device, press on other device and it should be fixed
